TomTom U.K. & Ireland

I thought my Garmin standalone GPS with the Irish maps was a pile of garbage and a waste of time and money until I ran across this very expensive piece of junk Limitations of the maps and software are so endless I wont have time to document them all For example the software refused to find obvious map points of interest and suggested others over 100 miles away You will get Much better accuracy and usefulness with the free Apple maps and the 5 inRoute app The only reason I gave it one star because the review doesnt allow 0 stars Again my opinion is that No One should spend a penny on this worthless waste of electrons and phone capacity BTW I am operating on the latest update on an iPhone 6     Worthless junk

1 Local landmarks are not in the maps Kilcolman road in claremorris is not recognized and brings you to same road about 7 miles away 2 When navigating it brings you on minor roads instead of wider roads I have a garmin that is 4 yrs old and yet it brought me on national roads 3 The navigation part of the app is very hard to stop and continues voice navigation even when the phone is switched off 4 When you arrive at a destination there is no way of inputting the location so it will remember it the next time Im sorry I bought it Could be good if above items were fixed     Not great

I like the app overall Its good in every regard it has few weaknesses but other apps do particular things better though TomTom the best overall 3D view TomTom is good but Waze is awesome You can see more of the route in Waze and its panning and zoning is better Maps no complaints Much better than any other satnav app Ive used Finding destinations TomTom has too many clicks My typical usage for me is to find the destination and start driving while the route is being calculated Unfortunately I then have to click a few more times while Im driving See Waze for ideas on how this could be better The Facebook integration is really good Think about it I use this app to find places Ive never been before They are not friends in my address book I rarely enter addresses The places I go are basically places in facebook However many times I use the desktop to find a place and then I have to refind it in TomTom Hopefully there is an easy way to send a google maps link to TomTom Finding places is the weakest part of any satnav app including TomTom though TomTom does it as good as anyone today              Good app here are some suggestions for improvement

Ok I may have been a little harsh in my previous review Turns out waitibg for gps was because I was in airplane mode Come on tomtom most people use gps when they travel so their phobe could be in airplane mode Maybe a warning to check airplane mode if you cant get a fix Could save you sone frustrated customers Other than that its been working pretty good Deducted one star because its crap at recognizing contact addresses and there seems no way to download poi databases no tesco or sainsburys Really              Airplane Mode

I bought the app loaded it onto my iPhone 4 by syncing with iTunes on my Mac ran the app on my phone andnada The splash screen that says TomTom simply sits there FOREVER My flight to London takes off in ten minutes and now it looks like Ill have to buy the Garmin app when I land First time Ive ever spent more than 99 cents on an app Probably the last time And Ill never buy anything from TomTom ever again     Doesnt work

I just bought this for my iPad and I wanted the traffic add on for 1 year I could not buy it because it would not let me use an iTunes account to purchase I have to have a tom tom account When I tried to open a tom tom account online it asked me for the model of my unit and iPad was not one of the options so I could not set up an account Every other app allowed in app purchase via iTunes why is this one so difficult     Cant buy in app traffic report

We bought this app for our 2 week self drive tour of Ireland It lost gps signal for 2 hours our first day but Ill give it to them I didnt buy the car kit so I guess thats the chance I took They warn you that it will drain battery but it was so bad that I couldnt keep my phone charged even while plugged into the car adapter None of the preloaded points of interest we used were correct It took us to the old now closed down Waterford Crystal factory the new one only allows you to view a showroom Trying to find the davenport hotel in Dublin it routed us to the opposite side of Merrion square from where the hotel is actually located forcing us to get directions from reception and sound like idiots in the process It did not have some of Irelands most famous sights preloaded into it at all the cliffs of moher bushmills distillery the hill of Tara etc The only time this app worked really well was on the large national roads and motorways that are easily navigated anyway I bought this app because we didnt want to rack up data roaming charges but it was useless without Internet and google to help it along In my opinion this was a big waste of money Maybe the UK maps and pois are better        Not recommended in Ireland

But during navigation the route 120mil the application turned off eight times on the road problems on the iPhone 5s        like to use tomtom but

Read the iffy reviews on this Should have listened to the negative ones Brought it for the iPad It was always searching for a satellite system When it would find one you couldnt find directions as an error message would come up This occurred for everything that we tried to locate At no time did this system work right On our final day to the airport it had us on the M2 turning through a ditch onto the airport runway I would really like a full refund for this product It was not worth the 38 some odd dollars to purchase it never worked right and cant give proper directions Refund please     Worst App Purchased to Date

Worth the money                 Excellent

Just took a 10 day trip to Ireland and ranged from Dublin to South Coast to Galway and back The app never let us down even when traversing R and L roads The iPad 3 takes a LOT of power with GPS and maps going so I highly recommend using a car adapter with enough power for the iPad 2 Amps Even then the iPad did overheat and shutdown once Holding it near the open window in Ireland weather quickly had it cool App never steered us wrong Controls messages could definitely be more intuitive as panic sets in near a complex roundabout and you try to find the turndirection after the current one Questions were sometimes worded in a confusing manner something like Avoid toll roads can be confusing as the default should be to use toll roads or your journey will be way longer 5 stars as we could not have navigated in the rain to all the great places large and small we visited without this TomTom App Only issue was poor GPS reception in and near Dublin This was not TomToms fault as Apple Maps showed the same message Day was partially cloudy so I dont understand this issue                 Awesome companion guide for touring Ireland

I normally search destination by postcode after entering postcode it asks for a house number Often there is no house number its a house name or a business name Please fix this           Good but

Difficult to use Never got a signal without wifi or cellular connection Voices never worked     Worthless

I own the TomTom US version as my everyday GPS device I just got back from a trip to Ireland and it worked beautifully I looked at cheaper options realizing that it could be a onetime purchase But the familiarity of TomTom and the comparison to a rental car GPS for 17day for 9 days made it a nobainer It found all our BBs golf courses and other destinations from the TomTom POIs The maps are onboard and fairly small download I took a iPhone mount and 12V charger and no issues I use the charger with the US version too it just uses more power than the maps application We routed from Dublin Galway Cliffs of Moher Dingle Cork back to Dublin and always had the correct directions Dont worry it will work                 Was worth every penny on trip to Ireland

It never finds a GPS signal while google map have found hundred times     This app is stupid
