    It will be intresting to see how the iPhone performs on a long car journey with the Tom Tom setup,with the iPhone prone to having a problem with over heating with constant use.

    Be interested to hear how it comparies to Co Pilot & Navigon. Anyone used either?

    I’ve used the Co Pilot app. For £25 it’s pretty good stuff. It works perfectly. I think that if you pay anymore… you may as well just buy a proper Tom Tom. It will always be better than a phone app.
