TomTom and BeatTheTraffic and BMW X5 nav

I am half way through 4K driving and the factory nav with 2009 DVD in my BMW X5 has proven wrong on turns, final destinations, and especially with traffic conditions.
During the trip, I was able to observe that the free app BeatTheTraffic on my iPhone and iPad was more accurate in terms of live traffic conditions on the interstate. Another plus is that BeatTheTraffic has a weather overrlay but of course it does not provide navigation info.
So in reading the threads about TomTom for the iPhone (iPad), I can't tell if HD Traffic by TomTom receives data like my BMW nav or BeatThe Traffic. I called TomTom and they could not answer this for me and of course once the purchase is made there is no refund.
I would appreciate help in deciding if the TomTom app would be a good investment for me.

Never mind. I ended up deleting the pairing from both phone and car. Fixed.

  • I am having an issue using my Iphone with Bluetooth in my car. If I am driving, and my wife uses her phone to access google and type in anything, it activates the phone feature, and "Talking" appears on our Navi screen. Can anyone help?

    We are having trouble using our Iphone with the Bluetooth system in our 2012 Highlander. When I am driving and my wife, using her Iphone, uses Google and types in anything at all, letters of numbers, it activates the phone on our Navigation system and initiates a call. It goes away after a few seconds, but happens every time.
    No problem pairing the phone with the car's bluetooth, and no problems making calls.
    Just returned from our Toyota dealer, who had no answers.
    Can anyone help on this?
    Thanks in advance!

    Thank you for the response.
    This happens when I am driving, and my wife, using her Iphone, accesses Google.com. Once she is on the web site, and she types in her search, it activates the phone on the Navi system, and the screen on the navi system says "talking".
    I have a Blackberry, and it is also paired with the car, but we make sure only my wife's Iphone is connected when the happens.
    THANK YOU!

  • I got a new macbook pro and am having a great deal of trouble with it from the start!  But other than that, which I will get to, I have had macs since the one following Lisa and I am a diehard apple fan, yet now with the macbook pro and Lion and its

    I could not download the upgrade to the mountain lion. my updates were taking an enormous amount of time for other programs. When I finally got the indication it was waiting to be downloaded I had to shut down. It was after 2 am and I was practically unconscious already with all the trauma of trying to find the right place for the redeem of the code to open the password. It was all confusing and poorly communicated by Apple. The terrible deterioration of Apple's written communications by non-American techies who can't write for easy understanding, even by this old time tech afficianado is heart-breaking and frustrating is putting the effects mildly.  I have not yet gone back to the mac book pro to finish the job. I am too frustrated and unhappy with the new system.  Also, I found out the hard way that my time capsule saved files on the macbook Snow Leopard, which still works fine after 6 years of use, is locked in that external drive and I cannot transfer the items except one by one or by folders on that computer to a DVD or to a flash drive, to mport to this new computer. Because the systems are not the same, I can't access the files automatically. I fear I will have further problems with the mountain lion vs. lion in seeing those files. What can I do? What should I do?  I am afraid to designate an external hard drive I purchased with the new laptop for the time capsule because then it won't work with any other computer.  I read of terrible incompatibility issues and crashes and things not working right once Mountain Lion was installed and now I am terrified they will happen to me. I just wanted the computer to be as easy to use as all the other macs I have and have had and now it is more like a horribly complicated and difficult Microsoft IBM compatible PC. I hate this. Perhaps Apple wanted to appeal to new Apple users and tried to make them comfortable while disregarding the comfort of loyal Apple users?  It's a sell-out. Meanwhile, I have to get senior tech people because the kids who try to answer my questions much of the time don't interpret what i am telling them and it takes a pro.  Perhaps the kids can answer what I should do in preferenced to scroll the screen, since the scroll indicators disappear and I can't see them and have to resort to using the arrows on the keyboard, which is not the way I like to work.    Please advise me about all of these things!

    Use the trackpad to scroll, thats what it was designed for. The scroll bars automatically disappear when not being used and will appear if you scroll up or down using the trackpad.
    This is a user-to-user forum and most people will post on here if they have problems. You very rarely get people posting to say there update went smooth. The fact is the vast majority of Mountain Lion users will not be experiencing any major problems with the OS, or maybe with apps which are not compatible, but thats hardly Apple's fault if developers don't update their apps.

  • The screen on my ipod touch is stuck zoomed in. I turned it off and back and its still stuck zoomed in. I also tried to reset it and that didn't work either. Please help.

    The screen on my ipod touch is stuck zoomed in. I don't know how it happened I just looked down and it was like that. I have turned it off and back and even reset it but it still keeps zooming back in each time I turn it on. I can't unlock it because I can't see the numbers and it won't let me move around the screen. Please help.

    This is asked and answered often.  The foru search bar is on the right side of this page.

  • How can I select more than one bookmark at a time so that I can then open multiple bookmarks -- without the aggravation of going back to the list and selecting and opening each one.

    From my dozens of bookmarks, I often would like to open 5 or 6 of them at once -- perhaps a couple of weather reports, a couple of radio stations, a couple of other websites. But I see no way of doing this without laboriously finding a bookmark, selecting it, opening the website, then returning to the bookmarks, finding the second bookmark, selecting it, opening the website, and on and on. Surely there's a way for me to select multiple unrelated bookmarks and open them at the same time. Thanks much for your help. Don

    ''Actually there is a picture and better explanation in the corresponding History article''
    * ''http://kb.mozillazine.org/Viewing_the_browsing_history_-_Firefox ''
    Look where this picture is embedded in the article topic [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Viewing_the_browsing_history_-_Firefox#Selecting_history_items Selecting history items]
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/images/Fx3_history_sidebar_selections2.png
    Selecting, viewing, and searching the sidebars and library lists is explained in both articles previously mentioned.
    Multiple selection is something built-in to a lot of applications and into all browsers, and yes you guessed correctly the favicon it the thing to the left of the bookmark and that is what is is called in all browsers. And if you look at selection you will find that it matches what you asked for, especially if you were to do a search from the search bar on the bookmark or history sidebar. But there is also no problem opening up a single bookmark or history item into a new tab, with either Ctrl+click or Ctrl+Shift+click in the area to the right of the favicon either.
    However I would suggest making a change to your configuration options so the the same keyboard shortcut is used from a link and from your bookmarks. See those keyboard shortcuts in the following along with the footnotes just below the table for them in

  • Hello, I've updated the iPhone I have got I have a problem I hope you respond to some of the applications no longer work, such as the safari and skype and many applications are no longer working with the ios7.0.4

    Hello, I've updated the iPhone I have got I have a problem I hope you respond to some of the applications no longer work, such as the safari and skype and many applications are no longer working with the ios7.0.4

    Standard troubleshooting...
    1. Try a Restart by pressing the sleep/lock button until you see the slider.  Slide to power off.  Restart by pressing the sleep/lock button until you see the Apple logo.
    2. Try a Reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.
    3. Remove apps from Recently Used (multi-tasking) list...
    - From any Home Screen, double tap the home button to bring up the Recents List
    - Swipe up on the app preview card to remove it from the list
    - Press the home button when done.
    4. If still a problem restore with your backup.
    5. If still a problem restore as new, i.e. without your backup. See how it runs with nothing synced to it.
    6. If still a problem, it's likely a hardware issue.

  • HT201272 If I already downloaded my songs then accidentally deleted them from my computer, how can I redownload them? Itunes store shows them as downloaded and unless I go through and try and repurchase each song individually, it wont let me redownload. h

    How ccan I redownload my music to the same computer. Downloaded, then deleted, now i tunes won't let me redownload, because I already downloaded. If I go through and try and repurchase the songs it will download them for me but I don't want to have to do that 250 times.

    You need to delete the broken entries first, then the tracks will show up with the iCloud download symbols in your purchased histroy and IIRC you can download them all in one go.

  • How do I get iTunes to keep "The and A and An" when sorting?

    iTunes for Windows strips of "The" and "A" and "An" from the artist and album names when it is sorting. How do I get it to stop? I have 6,000 files that I've just imported and it is ordering them in completely the wrong way for me.
    It lists "The Beatles" under "B" and I want it under "T" for "THE Beatles" and so on. I don't want to have to change these one by one obviously because there are too many. I would like to select an option that leaves the full titles alone when sorting.
    How can I do this?

    Over 6000 people have downladed the script to get around this after a fashion. Is it still required?
