TomTom has finally released it’s navigation App for the iPhone which leverages the device’s built in GPS and combines it with the company’s award winning navigation Software.

TomTom has made a bold move by challenging the 99 cent market bundled with subscriptions but the asking price may be a little steep for most users. The App first made its appearance on the Australian App Store followed by compatible version for New Zealand, Western Europe, US and Canada. hey cost $79.99 $94.99 $149.99 $99.99 respectively. While the TomTom navigation App has been in development since Apple publicly released the iPhone SDK but was restricted from the App Store due to the developer agreement. However, since the release of Firmware 3.0 and its accompanying SDK, Apple has relented and is allow 3rd party navigation Apps to be sold on the App Store. The TomTom Navigation App comes ahead of the accompanying car mount which brings a built in charger and an external, more powerful GPS.
