TomTom iPhone App launched for SA (unofficially)

Uncategorized
Well, according to a recent post on the MyBroadBand forum the TomTom turn-by-turn GPS iPhone application has been "unofficially" launched for the South African market!

Trapster – Speed Trap Sharing

Trapster – Speed Trap Sharing

iPhone, Technology, , ,
What is Trapster? Simply put, Trapster is an application for getting speed trap alerts on your Blackberry, iPhone, Nokia, Android, Garmin, or TomTom device. How does Trapster work?

Well, it looks kinda nice, but there is no real new functionality! [ad name="goldschmidt inline post"] Enjoy the pics!
