Navigate to Twitter and Facebook events with TomTom app

11 Jan 2012

The TomTom App for iPhone and iPad will reportedly be the first to use social networks as a source for turn-by-turn navigation. It can automatically plan routes based on information from Facebook events, places and friends, and drivers will be able to share their destination and arrival times through Twitter, Facebook, email and SMS.

At the TomTom booth at the Las Vegas CES show, 10-13 January 2012, the preview of the latest version (v1.10) of the app for iPhone and iPad, integrates TomTom navigation with Facebook and Twitter allowing users to navigate to friends, places and events with more ease. Customers who already have the app will be able to download the new features free.

"According to recent studies, the vast majority of iPhone users use Facebook on their iPhone," says Daan Henderickx, TomTom South Africa country manager. "By integrating Facebook features into our App we make navigating even easier."

The new app will be available within Q1 2012.
