     TomTom brings its great history and reputation in the GPS industry to the iPhone and gives us a fairly good and simple GPS app. Their app, while featuring the top quality TomTom IQ Routes and maps for the US and Canada, is a little short on extra features.

     Routing is one of the most important features of a GPS app. TomTom’s routing options are very good, but very simple. It’s difficult to create a route with more than one stop. Your destination selection is done very well and includes the ability to set a point on the map, point of…

     As we all know, one of the best things about the iPhone is the completely useless apps that do nothing more than show off how cool you are because you own an iPhone. Everyone remember the I Am Rich app? These apps don’t help you get to your destination, check up on your friends, have you save the world, or even remind you of what to buy at the grocery store.
