TomTom Turkey App Reviews

Great nav software. It works very fast with 3gs and can be used as a real alternative to a stand-alone navigator if used with tomtom car kit.

I used this app side by side in real time with Navigons Turkey navigation app. (Tom Tom on Iphone with third party radiio adaptor connection, Navigon on Ipad of driving companion.) While Navigon was fine in large cities, Tom Toms data set is vastly more comprehensive and useful nationwide. There was simply no contest in rural areas where Navigon had neither POIs nor local street maps. Apart from its less attractive interface, I did have one problem with Tom Tom. Sometimes it would suddenly route me off of a very good road and send me toward a so-called road that hasnt seem much traffic since St. Paul of Tarsus evangelized Asia Minor. (Or since the Selcuk Turks began consolidating their empire a thousand years later.) And, yes, I had indeed set all switches to avoid unpaved roads! Once I learned to ignore these foolish detours, I found Tom Tom Turkey to be a very useful navigational aide. It is currently the superior choice for Iphone-based navgiation in Turkey.

I have used the app frequently. Its accurate and clear to understand. Highly recommended.

Traveling in Turkey for five weeks, suffering with TomTom putting street names on cities in zoom out mode (just try to navigate when all the cities have names like Ulugol Mevkii and Indinkivi Mevkii! I mean hey, TomTom, what are you thinking?), when I discovered Pocket Earth. Now were talking Turkey. Not only great off line maps but easy to use pin drops, routes (just cant change them without net access), speed, heading, map scale. I think it was three bucks for all of planet Earth! TomTom was good for pre-trip planning to help figure out drive times between locations, and helpful in large-ish cities, but was a disappointment overall. Overpriced by an order of magnitude.
