The TomTom iPhone application has received a free update bringing new features for satellite navigation users.
One of the major upgrades is that the app now includes compatibility for the original iPhone and iPod Touch, meaning that owners of older devices can now use the tool.
Advanced lane guidance has also been added for difficult junctions, which will let drivers see in more detail what lane they need to be in. These can be seen in both landscape and portrait mode.
Text-to-speech functionality has been included, which will mean that the phone will read out street names and places aloud as part of the spoken instructions.
TomTom’s special ‘help me’ emergency feature, which is included on its in-car satellite navigation systems, will also now appear on the iPhone, while there are also updates to maps and safety camera databases.
Owners of the application can also now buy a car kit, featuring a holding arm for the phone, with built in speakers and improved GPS signal.
