People today don’t realize how much of a premium was once attached to turn-by-turn navigation. Whether it’s Waze keeping you up-to-date about speed traps, Google Maps offering an alternative route due to traffic, or the luscious 3D buildings of Apple Maps, today’s best navigation apps make it practically impossible to get lost — and they’re all available for free. But then there’s TomTom.
The legacy handheld GPS maker has gone through changes to adapt to the ongoing competition, ditching its model of selling physical GPS devices and pivoting to creating map and location technology. Today, its TomTom app is available as a free download for Android and iOS devices.
