TomTom’s anticipated iPhone application of GPS navigation is now available for $99.99, a price that might seem high but isn’t when compared with in-car navigation systems. The announced ‘car kit’ that includes a windsheild mount, however, has not yet been launched.

One feature that has garnered much of the technology media attention is the app’s ability to tap into an iPhone contact from within the app, allowing your contact to select a destination or starting point from their own entry.

David Colker’s article on the Technology blog today mentions one of the biggest complaints is that the vocal directions on the TomTom iPhone app do not include street names. Highlights of the product include IQ routes, which caluculate the fastest route based on data collected over the years from other TomTom users, turn-by-turn directions, voice-guided navigation and a combination app and holder for the car (shown here).
