I wouldn't trust the GPS on the iPhone.  I have a more expensive/supposedly better app for my iPhone, and it doesn't compare to something like the Garmin nuvi's.

Say Steve my TomTom work great, and I love my iPhone.  I purchased my app when it was introduce for $99 US & Canada. Trwtow you will have to do and purchase several things before it works for you.  Get it mounted.  I finally made my mount with a bicycle parts and cell phone mounts. I do not mount my phone until I need it. The guys make jokes until we get lost. I did not like the H-D tank mount for personal reasons, but it is an option.  Than you need a power wiring harness form UNIQ Cycle Sounds has a great version. This along makes the difference. Plug your wiring into your sound system or ears and move on down the road.  I cannot monitor the screen along, but when prompt I can glance and maintain my barrings.  I purchased a Garmins 12 year ago and mounted it on an Ultra's DC.  Need a pic's let me know

PS: Look up the app Dynolicious

thanks im gonna try it already have riders claw one more question can you run tom tom app and ipod same time

I have an Iphone 4 32 Gig and I put the tomtom app. on it and I love it. Very user friendly. I don't think it gets and holds the satellites as well as my Nuvi though. There is a windshield mount for about $100.00 with an external antenna and speaker. I might have to try that. It's worth $50.00 just for the entertainment factor. My opinion.

If I understand your question correctly, yes you can play your iPod and TomTom at the same time.  Any iPod with 3G standards the most recent operating system will also perform this task.  I am also an iPhone 4/32 and Jobs and the gang thought of everything.  The option is on TomTom’s screen.  I unfortunately am not very good at do all four or five things at the same time, focus on the route, listen to music, and look on the screen and pay attention to TomTom at the same time, God forbid if I must touch something.  My wife refused to ride with me when I pulled out that Garmin’s.  So I learn to plan my route before taking off.  I do a screen snap of the map than print it with WePrint Server and clamp it to my windshield.  It is always in the last10 to 5 miles of my destination that I need TomTom.

VisualMap is another good app when planning a group ride or just keeping a record of places and trips.  You can point at a places of interest or restaurants, and take a picture of the location, with the map pinned to the destination using screen shot of those final 10 miles.

I notice that there is another app NAVIGON for $80. The price will drop and there is very little difference between the two apps.

I subscribe to TomTom Traffic.  It is a good resource in real-time of road problems and ways to get around them.  This option a great option for any vehicle.
