TomTom west europe… So far, I like it more than Navigon…

I don't know what it is, the software? The looks? The easy working with it?

So far I feel like TomTom works more easy for me than Navigon. This is my opinion of course...

If you are planning to buy Navigation on your iPhone, simply browse though the images and see if the interface matches what you would like to have. And google some about the software information, it really helps with making a choice! :-)

Mac OS X Terminal, reset and vim, sometimes a bitch!

Maybe you had it while working in VIM like me... Pressing Command+R cause you think you are focussed at your browser...

Result of this, you cannot navigate with the arrow keys anymore.

The solution is quite simple.

In normal VIM mode enter the folling command:

:!reset

This results VIM starting the command reset and reset the tty where VIM is running on.
And tataaa... You can navigate again :)

TomTom for the iPhone

I think all iPhone users know that the technology in an iPhone can handle more than the standard TomTom devices, such as view direction :)

However in my feeling its taking quite long to get TomTom on the iPhone, I currently use an old PDA to navigate with a GPS mouse in my dashboard. It works, but hey, who wouldn't like it to have one device with navigation, phone, SMS and much more in it? Well I do! :)

Glad to see that TomTom is working on this wish, only when it will be released is still a question for me.

You can see an introduction video here:

And a sample image here:
