TIL TomTom is still in business.
- gambiting 9y agoIMHO TomTom devices and maps are leaps and bounds over everyone else. The 5xxx series(with built-in GSM for live traffic and speed cameras) ss easily the best sat nav system I have ever used and I can recommend it to anyone without hesitation.
- gramakri 9y agoIt's still useful in rental cars. Travellers may not have a working phone number to use mobile phone maps.
- gruez 9y agooffline maps? google and here both offer that
- gsnedders 9y agoGoogle don't in all regions. > Note: Downloading offline maps isn't available in some regions because of contractual limitations, language support, address formats, or other reasons.
- TeMPOraL 9y agoDid Google start offering off-line maps with navigation and pathfinding support?
- DandyDev 9y agoYes, I use offline maps for navigation all the time when on holiday
- gervase 9y agoThis was first rolled out in 2015: https://googleblog.blogspot.com/2015/11/navigate-and-search-real-world-online.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed:+blogspot/MKuf+(Official+Google+Blog) https://googleblog.blogspot.com/2015/11/navigate-and-search-...
- ZeroGravitas 9y agoI believe they are providing a fair amount of data for Apple Maps.
- lloeki 9y agoYup, at least in Europe. Tapping on top right (i) in Apple Maps shows a TomTom logo along with an "and other data providers" link that gets you there[0]. [0]: https://gspe21-ssl.ls.apple.com/html/attribution-94.html https://gspe21-ssl.ls.apple.com/html/attribution-94.html
