Received Android 5 lollipop on Monday for my Nexus 5. Used Tomtom app today and it keeps restarting when you pick a menu option e.g drive to.

There is some chatter on Tomtom Forums about a future fix but no timescale.
I would have thought, in fact I am pretty confidant that even Tomtom has known about the lollipop update for months. Wouldn't they have received some beta software from Google for testing?

Fortunately I knew the best route on my journey today. But if you use Tomtom Android for your Satnav and depend on it, I would advise not updating to lollipop until it's (tomtom) is fixed.

As an aside I reloaded Copilot premium onto phone and it runs OK. But I now know why I bought Tomtom as copilot takes you seemingly on routes that you would not have picked if you only used a map. But at least it ran on Lollipop!

Update - just received reply from Tomtom support:-

I would like to inform you that our 2nd line team have taken care of this issue and we are going to launch a new application version of TomTom app up to this Friday 21/11/2014. The new application version will resolve all the issues related to the TomTom app with the Android 5.0. I would request you to be patient until new application version gets released.

See what happens Friday!

Alan
