Alternative GPS app

TomTom GPS Navigation Traffic is a turn-by-turn voice navigation app that helps you drive new roads in over 150 countries. This GPS mobile software provides intelligent routing, guiding you on the best route. It works just like the popular app, Waze, with its real-time accurate traffic information fueled by millions of drivers that are also using the app. More than the routes, it also offers downloadable maps, precise live traffic, and speed camera alerts. 

Take the right route

TomTom GPS Navigation Traffic is an alternative option to popular navigation apps. Its basic operation is very similar to other apps, so using the app won’t be a problem. Not only can you find a route for your destination, but you can also navigate to contacts and geotagged photos stored on your phone. Aside from real-time traffic reports, the app also provides you with traffic camera alerts with advanced warnings for mobile, fixed, and average speed cameras. 

For easier and more relaxed driving, you can take advantage of the advanced lane guidance. With this, you will always know that you are in the right lane whenever you drive. The app also lets you find and give directions to millions of useful stops en-route to and at your destination. Moreover, you have the option to download maps for offline usage. That way, you can save on data—especially if you are taking the same route every day.

TomTom GPS Navigation Traffic is free to download. However, you can only get 75 kilometers of GPs navigation for free each month. You need to purchase a one-month or one-year subscription for unlimited kilometers. Users must also note that the online service of the app eats up a lot of data. Additionally, they must also download four or more full updates of any installed map per year.

Sluggishly helpful

At a glance, TomTom GPS Navigation Traffic looks to be a worthy alternative to Waze and other popular traffic apps. However, while it can help you find the route for your destination, it comes with a lot of issues that might be a deal-breaker. As mentioned, not everything in the app is free. Moreover, you are required to update the downloaded map every year. It also does not help that the app is sluggish and quite prone to random crashes. All in all, you are better off using your trusted GPS app.
