There are plenty of powerful navigation applications available for iPhone. Companies such as TomTom and Magellan have taken advantage of the phenomenon that is iPhone to bring their navigation products to more households. With iPhone 4 getting a ton of new features and capabilities, it is only a matter of time before some of those top iPhone GPS apps get an upgrade. One of the most anticipated feature in new iOS 4 is the ability to multi-task. It’s certainly nice to have the ability to get multiple things done on these phones. TomTom for iPhone is getting an upgrade to take advantage of that very feature.
In the past, you could not run background processes on iPhone and iPod Touch units. With the latest OS upgrade, you’ll be able to open other apps and continue to receive directions from TomTom. The upgrade will go into effect sometime after June 24th, which happens to be the day iPhone 4 is released to the market. Apple should have added multi-tasking feature quite some time ago. But it’s finally here. The good news is iPhone owners will be able to get more out of their devices with the new OS. The bad news is, standalone GPS units are going to be pressured even more with this latest development.
