TomTom update v1.2 with ALG & text-to-speech

[jmmo20]

I have no problems with my Iberia map.

I noticed it's a bug. If your iphone set to English language, then the TTS vice (Marta) won't be shown.

I contacted TomTom and they said it's APPLE who gives support for the iphone tomtom app. What a load of bs!! I asked for confirmation and they said again that they only support the iphone car kit.

So they're selling a 100$+ piece of software and refuse to give support!!!

Unfortunately for TomTom, it's too little too late. A lot of users, myself included, went for Navigon because of the poor state of the application on release and a failure by TomTom to demonstrate an interest in development.

It's a shame, because it's probably going to end up being a decent app.

Seeing as how they're currently the #2 top gross app on iTunes, I think they'd consider their position to be a little above, "too little, too late."
