This makes me wonder about using the $50 TomTom app for my iPad 3G and iPhone 3GS (iPhone 4 next month).
Anyone have real-world experience to know how the TomTom app compares with what I have on the 2008 X5 GPS using the 2009 DVD?
It was very frustrating to have spent so much on an X5 and see the FREE BeatTheTraffic app outperform the BMW nav.
Edited to say that TomTom could not tell me what they use so I guess it is radio but that deepens the mystery about what data are used by BeatTheTraffic.
