TomTom for Android lands in Google Play store

Darren

It's been a very long time coming but the wait is finally over. TomTom for Android has launched and is now available in the Google Play app store.

TomTom for Android has similar features to its iOS counterpart but the user interface has been re-jigged with a different map view info pane layout. 2D/3D map views, voice guidance, multi-stop and eco routes are all present,

HD traffic is available as an extra cost option and lifetime map updates are included in the app purchase price.

Western Europe comes in at £39.99, a £10 saving over its iOS equivalent but you'll need a hefty 2.7GB of free space before you can install it.

Unfortunately, it isn't compatible with the Samsung Galaxy S111, probably the best selling Android phone on the market - what a massive c0ck-up by TomTom

Neither is it compatible with HTC One S and X amongst others.

Please let this be a technical issue with Google Play and not some mad limited release!

Well it is not available on my HTC Sensation running Android 2.3. And neither is it available on my Asus pad running Android 4.1. So just what is it compatible with, given that it appears to not be the most popular or the latest version of Android? And all this despite the link saying that it is compatible with Android 2.2 and up.

Yet another TT problem? A saying about breweries comes immediately to mind.

If TomTom doesn't make this relaease for my HTC One S then, after many loyal years, I am switching to Sygic on Android.

The Sygic app uses Tomtom's maps and more importantly, has just implemented HD Traffic.

So it may well be bye bye Tomtom, you need a massive reality check.

Does not support Galaxy Note. It looks like only supports 1 or 2 phones. Well done Tomtom.

Modaco is reporting that is only supports phones with resolutions up to 854x480. If that is true then it would explain why it isn't compatible with lots of the newer phones.

Not compatable with Samsung Galaxy Nexus, any chance of someone contacting Tomtom and finding out their plans for this product, it's obvious there is a market for it.
