TomTom Navigation App 2021 - as good as Waze or Google Maps?

Navigation applications have become almost a necessity today, and TomTomp GO Navigation app is at the lead in this industry. Professional connoisseurs use them to preview their routes and to orient between destinations and we, the personal type users, use them to navigate between the points that are not known to us, and in the big cities we are useful to use the most route. efficiency by using the live traffic function. In this video we will present the TomTom application. It is the counterpart of Google Maps or Waze, although it can be said that TomTom is somewhat more efficient in terms of route planning and traffic information, especially traffic cameras and speed limit.
We let you discover TomTom with us in a video made in real time. Here's how we planned our trip to Grimsby.

Waze can be a little worse then Google maps and tomtom, when navigating in detail like turning it doesn't show detail or close up. So may miss turning, it can be confusing for many people comparing to tom tom and Google.

[@djobitwan7]

Just wondered, but does this app have the ability for us to show where cops are or things like car on the side of the road? That's what makes Waze great. I didn't see that option & even Google Maps has that limited feature.

it would have been indeed a great addition.

Great video, but Waze is the best free navigation hands down.

[@SEPAChannel]

waze is indeed a smashing nav app.

[@netcalibur]

Yeah, but no offline maps tho

[@Steve200300]

@metallion yep that's the only downside. However you need a signal to to get live traffic updates for example traffic hold ups. So although offline maps are good. It could take you to say an accident and roads blocked so your stuck in traffic for hours. I've used waze for years never had a problem yet. What navigation app do you use?

[@netcalibur]

@@Steve200300 I had a dedicated tomtom go for years (still have it, never had a problem with it), quite old and sluggish now, that's why I'm here trying to see if the app is as good as sat nav. Waze is good, but I like tomtom more as its voice, Serena, accompanied me for years on my holidays and now even if I know I'm on my way to work, it gives the impression and feelings of holiday 😀 Google maps disappointed me many times, always tells me about heavy traffic after, always after, I get stuck in it highlighting that I'm still on my fastest route, I hate it.

to be frankly honest with you guys, I switched back to google maps for 2 reasons: 1 it does have the speed limit and most of times still works: Please be aware to always keep an eye on road signs. 2 it is integrated with CarPplay so I can use the media/navigation on my car and is quite easy to use, I can swap between music and the navigation and all that. I just found it more convenient, over all. We are thinking about preparing a video with Goodle maps on carplay if you guys might be interested. All the best, have a nice day.
