TomTom (the most famous creators of the Sat Nav) have actually teamed up with Apple in making a piece of sofware for the iPhone that does something very similar to a normal Sat Nav?
The easy answer is no. Coming in at £60 this piece of software for the iPhone is exactly the same as a normal Sat Nav with a few bits actually taken out. Sure the quirky woman telling you where to go is there but what happens when you get a phone call (hands free of course) when you are trying to listen on where to go. Is the lovely Sat Nav woman simply saying “please stop here while you take the call” as you frantically answer “BUT I’M IN THE MIDDLE OF A MOTORWAY!!!This invention is no different to any other in that it has its flaws.
Another problem with this is that it is no cheaper and in fact more expensive than a Sat Nav that can do a bit more than this application. Is it not just promoting you to look at your mobile phone when you are driving your nice, soon to be wrecked (if you are constantly looking at your phone) Audi orVolkswagen?
It could be no more than all the hype the iPhone seems to recieve? The thing is, many mobile phones have been able to do this for quite a number of years, why is the iPhone so special? Well in honest opinion, it isn’t. It could turn out to be a nice touch for any iPhone owner as it maps more than just the UK which is something that can be a huge benefit.
It doesn’t matter what car you have, or even if you are thinking of getting used cars for sale it can work with anything just like a normal Sat Nav.
So if you are thinking about getting a Sat Nav, the iPhone is just another option out there for you.
