How well does the TomTom app work?

Let's hear it, how well does the TomTom app work compared to a dedicated GPS device? Are you using TomTom's special cat kit? Is there a way to load TomTom binary files (POIs) onto the iphone?

I have used a Garmin Nuvi760 for about 2 years and have been very pleased. When TomTom had a sale for $50 and now seems to be $60, I bought it. I also bought a kensington car mount. (http://us.kensington.com/html/17546.html). I like it. with my 3GS, there is no need for the amplified TomTom car kit. The speech quality could be better but it's loud enough. I do like the on screen presentations a bit more than my Garmin. I'm still getting used to the interface. It's a real good thing that I can use my contacts file to set destinations. My next step is to go on an 800 mile trip this month and compare the two systems side by side. So far, TomTom has not always made the best route choice and once sent me to the right address in an adjoining city. (This is southern Cal) Not good, but these are map issues which will always be evolving. Is it worth it? Yes. At $100, maybe. The good thing is that my phone is always with me and so is my GPS. I does put a drain on the battery, so it should be on charging while using in a car.

  • How well does the calendar feature work?

    i know some people had some problems early on. how well is it working now. what about the printed results? appreciate any feedback.

    The new iPhoto 6 .0.3 update is supposed to fix the calendar problem. The first thing I created with V6 was a calendar and it turned out great. With the fix in the new update, it should be very useable.

    As you might imagine, without knowing a ton of information about the actual construction of the walls and ceiling of your home.....how many walls and other obstructions would be in the signal path of each device.....and the distance between each device and the AirPort Express.....along with how many users would be online at one time or another and what activities they would be involved in......etc., it's really not possible to accurately predict what type of results you might achieve.
    The bottom line with any wireless installation is that you really won't know how effectively it will actually perform until you try it.
    My opinion would be that you will likely need to add an additonal AirPort Express to "extend" the wireless more effectively to the bottom floor. But again, the same things apply as above.

  • How well does the 2013 MacBook Air 13" Handle Adobe Creative Cloud Program's?

    How Well Does The 13" MacBook Air Handle The Adobe Creative Cloud Apps?
    I'm A Visual Communication Student But I Would Like Extremely Portable Setup Hence The MacBook Air 13", The Main Program's I Use Are:
    Photoshop
    InDesign
    Illustrator
    And I Also Use Dreamweaver & After Effects From Time To Time.....
    How Would A Top Spec 2013 13" Air Cope Running These Program's??

    What about the backpack? Did you have it in one often?
    College and notebooks = backpacks usually 9 times out of 10,  was that the case?
    Your MacBook Air doesnt like roommates in your backpack
    Many collects students or people in general are fond of using non-idealized backpacks (without a padded laptop compartment) along with their books. Sandwiching books around your notebook etc. is an extremely bad idea and can leads to your LCD screen being destroyed when heavy textbooks are pressing against same, or when dropping your backpack, these books slam into your Macbook causing great potential for damage.
    ~"large white blotch and pixilated lines running down the screen."
    That indicates a significant impact.
    ~~"They kept telling me it was "excess pressure". I told them it was impossible, it would be normal pressure"
    What do you mean by "normal pressure"   ANY pressure to the LCD is abnormal pressure.

  • HT204003 does the passbook app work on the iPhone4 because I downloaded the apps for it but I continue to see the original screen for the app and I can't find passbook in my settings.

    does the passbook app work on the iPhone4 because I downloaded the apps for it but I continue to see the original screen for the app and I can't find passbook in my settings.

    Some time in the future (Starbucks Tweeted the other day "by the end of the month") the Starbucks app will be Passbook enabled. When that time comes, you will log into the app with your credentials, select your Starbucks card, and you should be given an opportunity to add that card to Passbook at that time. From there, whenever you walk into a Starbucks the alert will be displayed on the lock screen, just slide your finger across the the alert and show your card to pay.
    Now, I have not seen the new app, of course, so I am just speculating based on how the Walgreens, Fandango and Target apps work. Also, I am not sure yet if this will work in any Starbucks, or just the one that you consider your favorite, or primary location. Again, that is just based on how the other apps seem to work. We'll see.

  • How well does the Droid Charge do when dropped accidentally?

    how well does the Droid Charge do when dropped accidentally? any screen or internal damages?
    I'm probably going to have some kind of rubberized case.

    Please consider getting an otterbox commuter case at least from amazon or otterbox.com
    the defender series otterbox case with screen protector case isn't being shipped yet so i am using
    the otterbox commuter case with verizon wireless store's 3pack of screen protectors - i do not like screen protectors but verizon sells the ones for the charge specifcally and it will
    hold me over just fine until defender ships in august or september
    either case helps to not accidentally press the power button easily while holding this droid Charge
    there's my advce
    ps these add bulk to phone i like the commuter case it is way sturdy polycarbonate or whatever STRONG black plastic with port covers except for hdmi that already has a cover built into phone
    the defender series will be bulkier

  • How well does the Logitech Ultrathin Touch Mouse work in a Multiboot system?

    After a couple of weeks with working with the Apple Magic Mouse in my Windows 8.1 Boot Camp environment, I have been unable to find a solution for the Slow Connection Times that I am experiencing.  Takes up to a minute before the AMM is able to connect and I can use in the Windows 8.1 system.  (Yes, Bluetooth Collaboration is Enabled.)  So I am now wondering if I need to look for a different mouse and return the Apple Magic Mouse.  Anyone have experience with using the Logitech Ultrathin Touch Mouse in both the MAC OSX and Windows 8.1 (under Boot Camp) environments.
    How quickly does the Logitech connect to bluetooth on the Windows 8.1 side?
    How much does the Logitech utilize the same gestures as in the Apple Magic Mouse in Mac OSX?
    Anyone use or own this Ultrathin Touch Mouse?

    Do you have a Mighty Mouse already? I don't think Apple sells the Mighty Mouse anymore.
    If you're looking at purchasing a new mouse from Apple, you'd be getting the Magic Mouse, which is a multi-touch capable mouse. It's a really great mouse; I use one with our 21.5" iMac all the time. Respectable battery life, and it tracks much nicer than our older (wired) Apple Pro Mouse. No lag, no interference, nothing with it. We have multiple cordless phones (including a base station about 18" from the mouse and computer) and there is never interference. It tracks as well or better than a wired mouse.

  • Was wondering how well does the 1Ghz titanium runs Leopard?

    Hi
    Could some one put up a youtube video of how well leopard runs on the last titanium g4?
    I mean the minimum for leopard is 800mhz ... but how well does it actually run? is it worth purchasing leopard if you have 1Ghz?
    Thanks
    Chris

    Hi, Nomad.c. How fast any OS runs on any computer is a lot more than you could reasonably expect to learn from any YouTube video.
    We've seen posts here from people who had installed Leopard even on Tibooks that didn't meet the minimum processor-speed requirement of 867MHz (not 800MHz). They seemed to be happy with it by and large, but they may have had reasonable expectations going in. It won't be faster than what you're running now, but it will have some new features; you may or may not find them valuable. But you'd better have your Tibook's RAM maxed out at 1GB, because Leopard is much greedier for RAM than Tiger or Panther. That means if you use RAM-hungry applications on top of Leopard, you're going to make greater use of virtual memory than you have up to now, and VM is many times slower than real RAM.

  • How well does the Blackberry desktop software work on a Mac

    I have friend who syncs his BB 8830 a lot on his current PC. He his considering a switch to a Mac and wanted to know how well the BB desktop software works on a Mac. How would you answer that question?
    Will the BB desktop software sync calendars and contacts best with the Mac Mail and Address Book or does it work better with MS Office 2011?
    Thank you for looking.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    this is misleading (a lie) as bb desktop software does not work with Apple LION

  • How does the Maps app work?

    I'm considering buying the software upgrade, but I don't understand how the maps application can possibly work. It requires wi-fi, so how will it work when you're trying to get somewhere and you're driving? Certainly there's no wi-fi in the car!
    Can anyone explain this to me? Thanks!

    You could just drive into a sub-division and hope somebody has an unprotected wireless network when you are lost...
    The map app was originally made for the iPhone which with the unlimited data plan through At&T it can update the map and search on the fly as long as you are in a service area. Unfortunately for the ipod the map app is not as powerful as the iPhone because you can't get a map anywhere, it is the same app, but you get the idea.
