TomTom App for iPhone 1.9 now available and optimised for iPad

Higher resolution and improved user interface for the iPad at no extra cost

Malaysia, October 27, 2011 – TomTom today released the TomTom App for iPhone 1.9 which has been optimised for the iPad. Existing TomTom App customers can download the new version to their iPads for free.

TomTom has optimised the App for iPad, creating a higher resolution for a sharper display and an enhanced user interface to fit the larger screen. The new release is also compatible with Apple's brand new iOS5.

“This new release – now officially called 'TomTom App for iPhone/iPad' – is a logical next step for us”, says Chris Kearney, Vice President, TomTom Asia Pacific. “Our customers asked us for enhanced iPad features, and now they have them. We have enhanced everything the iPad user sees and interacts with on the touch-screen.”

The TomTom App for iPhone/iPad 1.9 comes with a new map release – a benefit to users of both Apple devices. The new map includes updated roads, more accurate information about fixed speed camera locations and points of interest.

With this new release, TomTom has made use of the extra iPad screen space. The full-screen display shows both driving view and advanced lane guidance at the same time. Drivers can also switch to driving view with one touch from anywhere within the App, and can access guidance options in a tap.

Availability and pricing

TomTom App for iPhone/iPad 1.9 is available now, priced from USD69.99. Existing TomTom App for iPhone customers can download the new version of the App to their iPad for free.
