Both palettes are user-configurable, allowing you to find a scheme that you find comfortable.Ī minor nicety of the app is smooth music fading, so that currently playing songs are not awkwardly paused. When the calculated local sunrise occurs, it switches back to the daytime color palette. I particularly liked the automatic “night mode”: when the calculated local sunset occurs the color scheme automatically switches to a darker palette, making the app easier to see in the lower light without blinding your night vision. And to make things even better, the TomTom app also ties into local Google listings, allowing you to hit Google from within the TomTom app itself (obviously a data connection is required for this aspect fo the app). If such a niche is in the POI list, I’m confident that many other interesting places are also included. I found the Ukrainian Museum-Archive while tooling around in Cleveland, Ohio. I found the routing to be just fine, and have no complaints about the quality of the maps or the included points of interest. The application is not particularly snappy, which can be a nuisance if you’re trying to update a route while on the go. It takes almost 30 seconds for the app to load into memory and be ready for user input. ![]() With a footprint well over a gigabyte, it should be no surprise that the app is slow to load. You cannot install or update this app over the air: the file size requires you to install it from your computer. Then I had to do it all over again when an update was released. I’ve got an 8GB iPhone 3G, and it took me awhile to trim down my playlists and delete lesser-used apps before I could get the TomTom app to load successfully. The size of the app is a bit misleading: you actually need a good bit more than that unused on your phone in order for the app to even install. This is great when you’re in a dead zone, but it carries a hefty penalty in terms of file size: almost 1.5GB! The big difference between this and other GPS applications is that all of the map data is stored on your phone, so no Internet connection is required to calculate routes.
