TomTom has announced that its popular iPhone app has now been fully updated and optimized for iPad. This latest version of the app features a higher resolution for a sharper display, and an enhanced user interface to fit the iPad?s larger screen. The full-screen display now shows both driving view and advanced lane guidance at the same time, with drivers being able to switch to driving view with one touch from anywhere within the app, and access guidance options with just one tap.

?This new release ? now officially called 'TomTom App for iPhone/iPad' ? is a logical next step for us?, says Corinne Vigreux, Managing Director Consumer at TomTom. ?Our customers asked us for enhanced iPad features, and now they have them. We have enhanced everything the iPad user sees and interacts with on the touch-screen.? The app also features a new map release complete with updated roads and points of interest, and HD Traffic is now available to download as an in-app purchase.
