TomTom shows iPad Navigator Software at IFA 2011

For about two years now we have been able to use TomTom Navigator software on the iPhone, but TomTom have been reluctant to release an iPad version of the software. Indeed it was only in May when I met TomTom that I was told in respect of the iPad "We dont believe that there is a market for the iPad as a navigation device. It is too big.". I would like to think my Brodit iPad Holder review influenced the decision to release iPad specific software, but I will not kid myself…

Anyway gone are the days when we have to have a 2X iPhone display TomTom have done a good job on creating a iPad Navigator with integrated (in-app purchase) HD Traffic. The app will be available in about 4 weeks and will be free to existing iPhone app owners.

Our video shows the software being demonstrated on the TomTom stand at the IFA Expo in Berlin.

If you have an iTunes account that you sync both iPhone and iPad to then it will just install through iTunes.

If you have an HD Traffic add-in you can switch between iPad and iPhone, but it will take 3 hours to transfer.
