Test and comparison of TomTom for iPhone

TomTom has released on the AppStore few days ago its GPS navigation software for iPhone, which is placed in direct competition Navigon, the other browser I've had time to test earlier. The software works flawlessly and is very effective, but is not free of defect ...

Further to my first article on the iPhone GPS and your comments, take stock of software that currently exist for iPhone. Begin by paying to download from the AppStore:

* Telenav is available only to U.S. yet, but it is a lesser evil because its value against TomTom or Garmin is very low. Moreover, the application requires a subscription of $ 10 per month and a wireless Internet package ...
* Navigon MobileNavigator which I previously windy virtues as the first true GPS for iPhone
* TomTom that I present here

Then there are free to install on jailbroken iPhones:

* Xgps that I presented here, requires a mobile internet connection or pre-download maps (tedious and cumbersome in size) but has the merit of being free
* Other systems exist, such as Naviti (official site) or Ida (available on Cydia) but I have not tested. I would however be interested to review them.

From everything that exists, therefore, Tomtom for iPhone is an excellent choice for those who want a GPS software Simple, fast and efficient. Now let's see how it holds up against Navigon.

IPhone Comparison Test / Navigon
Aspect graph

The maps, drawn from the supplier TeleAtlas are represented in 3D, by default, but it is also possible to switch to 2D oriented north or not. Overall, what shocks initially, it is the color, not very pretty but a little walk in the options to change the color scheme used. Personally, I opted for the Sydney theme. It is also possible to change the color scheme for the day mode and night mode.

Note that unlike Navigon, roads are not smoothed, and their appearance is a little cube to start pushing. The integration of IP (POI) is customizable, but we did not find the brand logos (Mac Do, Peugeot, etc..) That I found rather nice on Navigon. In short, the strength of GPS is not his aesthetic.

Graphically, TomTom is correct but does not impress much. Note, however, the wealth of information present.

Search route

I have nothing wrong with the search address is classic and fairly intuitive. We search by country and city, street and house number. The research will be added in the recent destinations. The previous search criteria are then pre-selected in the following entries.

Then, once the address is entered, the route search is fast. In addition, several search functions to alternative route is available. It is thus possible to avoid a roadblock at a distance of around a street or crossing point difficult of access, return to the default route, etc..

Note that the default route found is generally faster (in time) than that calculated by Navigon. This is probably due to the presence of technology "IQ Routes" which apparently calculates the best route based on the user experience. This technology gives TomTom a definite advantage for the route search areas.
Navigon has a graphical rendering a little nicer

Navigon has a graphical rendering a little nicer (logos, smooth roads, sky ,...)

Real-time navigation

Regarding navigation, strictly speaking, it is pretty clear but less (see above) and accurate than the Garmin.

Indeed, for driving on motorways, where many branches looming before us, the particulars of TomTom are not clear enough: "200 meters, take the exit right" when before us, we have 6 channels, 2 outputs right which no one immediately and one in 500 meters, we would rather have the sign of direction ... And just about this, Navigon is doing wonderfully as transcribed almost the same panels highway and indicated with an arrow clear position on where our 6 lanes ...

In terms of positioning on the motorways and the indication of exits to take, Navigon done wonders where TomTom has large gaps.

By cons, what is significant about the TomTom is that all relevant indicators are displayed simultaneously: real speed, time to destination, arrival time, remaining mileage, speed limit where Navigon requires switcher l one to another by pressing the screen.

Finally, last but not least: TomTom for iPhone loads a map of speed cameras and tells us clearly when we arrive in the right direction, near one of them.

Other Features

Other notable features are equivalent to those of Navigon: Profile of the route (driving, walking, cycling, etc..), Points of interest (restaurant, museum, gas station, etc..) With a slight advantage on this point for TomTom also referencing views and a few more schools.

We just note that the voice guidance to TomTom is selectable in an impressive list (sex / language) and better quality: the sound crackles with a high level for Navigon.

The little detail that kills you can listen to music with your iPhone while browsing! I think it's mainly reserved for those with a Bluetooth connection on their car ... If an indication appears road, TomTom is the music paused to "speak" while talking Navigon over (this remains understandable).

Conclusion

It is quite clear, with experience, the 2 GPS is excellent and almost equivalent but each have their strengths and weaknesses.
TomTom TomTom
France 69.99 EUR Price
Europe 99.99 EUR Same
Graphical Not terrible, gaudy color theme by default can be adapted Pleasant, again, the road curves are smoothed
Browse more suited to the city (IQ Route, radar, alternative route ...) More suited to the highway (location on routes, indications trips)



I advise more TomTom those circulating in the city and many are not too demanding in terms of graphics while Navigon, despite its lack of functionality of route search "bis" would position itself more as a friend of the highway ...

Finally, there is no winner in this comparison, 2 GPS systems are definitely excellent from me. We can not even separate them in their performance because they are very good on the 2 with an iPhone 3GS. The boot time is less than 10 seconds, the route searching almost instantaneous or reasonable for a long journey and the fluidity of the whole is very significant.

Afterwards, if you must choose, I can only advise you to take one that most closely matches your profile motorist: rather or rather town Hwy. Bonne route à tous!

City Streets Monopoly: Monopoly online based on Google Maps

This could become very addictive game: Google has signed a partnership with Hasbro, the maker of game companies to offer Monopoly based online with the game board would be neither more nor less than all the cities of Google Maps!

Monopoly City Streets should be launched today, Wednesday, September 9, 2009 (the "9/9/9" what) at 1800 GMT (ie 19h Paris time).

In principle, we start with the $ 3 million Monopoly and we will build on the streets that you buy houses and hotels, of course, but also is new, stadiums, castles, skyscrapers ...

The goal is to become the richest real estate investor in the world. It will be possible via the cards 'chance' to trigger disasters in the streets of other players to destroy their buildings.

In short, there was not much info yet, except what we read on the official blog (in English) and in this FAQ (in English too) ...

It will give appointment for a game tonight to 19h then? But I warn you, I take the train!

The pigeons are faster than ADSL

This anecdote begins Friday in South Africa where an IT company has undertaken to demonstrate that it was more interesting for them a carrier pigeon carrying data rather than sending them via the Internet.

It took 1 hour and 8 minutes to Winston, a pigeon from 11 months to travel the 80 kilometers between Pietermaritzburg to Durban, South Africa. Including the load on the computer data transported, the transfer lasted 2 hours, 6 minutes and 57 seconds.

At the same time, only one quarter of data was transmitted via the Internet.

The company wanted IT Unlimited by this demonstration pointing the incumbent Telko whose prices are too expensive and too slow connection. Telko has not commented on this challenge yet ...

The World Cup "South Africa 2010" could benefit South Africa and advancing the construction of a fiber optic submarine of 17,000 km connecting South Africa with the East and the world .

That said, at Boing Boing, they are more like to make people want to drop our preconceived notions. A pigeon is really good means of communication the world's fastest (translation Seb, thank you to him).

If the full load of pigeon (25 grams) is used to transport SD 64GB (2.05 grams each), Vailllant our cards can carry 12 or 768 GB of data. A quantity that a broadband network such as fiber (100 Mbps) n'achemine that just over 17 hours.

I do not know if the loading time of maps has been considered but briefly, it is sobering!

After that, it sure is fast but it is better to be prepared to lose a certain amount of packages on the way ... but it is provided and specified in the standard IPoAC (IP over avian carrier) which was originally a fish April but which, as you read, practical applications in real life!

Google makes your search more music with Music Search

Que vous souhaitiez en savoir plus sur votre artiste favori, trouver un album ou écouter cette chanson qui vous trotte dans la tête, il parait que 2 types de recherches parmi les 10 les plus populaires du web ont pour sujet la musique. Or, vous savez que Google travaille durement pour réduire sans cesse le temps nécessaire pour obtenir un résultat, quelqu’en soit le sujet.

Aujourd’hui, ils sortent officiellement Music Search, une nouvelle fonction de recherche qui permet de rechercher et de découvrir des millions de chansons, via une simple requête Google. Si vous saisissez une requête relative à la musique (comme le nom d’une chanson, d’un artiste ou un album), les résultats inclueront des liens vers un aperçu audio de chansons hébergées par les partenaires de Google que sont MySpace, Lala, Pandora, Rhapsody, etc.
L’exemple ci-dessous illustre la recherche de « 21st century breakdown », qui affiche des liens vers les chansons du nouvel album de Green Day.

De temps en temps, il arrive que vous ne connaissiez pas le nom d’une chanson ou l’artiste qui la chante. Peut-être vous souvenez-vous du refrain, ou alors de l’artiste mais pas du nom de la chanson ? Si vous avez entendu cette chanson en voiture ou dans un bar, que vous ne savez pas – ou plus – qui la chante, vous voyez de quoi je parle… Cette fonction de recherche permettrait de retrouver la chanson qui vous tracasse en saisissant juste une ligne ou 2 de ses paroles.

Finalement, un moteur de recherche digne de ce nom devrait pouvoir vous suggérer des chansons que vous aimerez même si vous ne savez pas exactement ce que vous aimez écouter. Google est partenaire de sites musicaux tels que Pandora, imeem et Rhapsody en incluant des liens vers leurs sites, ce qui vous permettra de découvrir de nouvelles musiques en rapport avec votre requête.

Bien entendu, Google y gagne un peu en devançant la concurrence et en y ajoutant des liens d’achat direct fournis par MySpace et Lala. En tout cas, cela reste un service qui peut être utile en fusionnant l’idée de Shazam (trouver une chanson à partir d’une bribe) et de Deezer (découvrir de nouvelles musiques à partir de celles qu’on aime).

En plus, ce genre de nouveauté va faire plaisir à nos artistes :

Avant, quand je googlais un de mes titres, les premiers résultats étaient souvent des sites bittorrent ou de streaming illégaux. Désormais, il sera plus facile d’écouter un titre légalement qu’illégalement. a ainsi témoigné Mike Shinoda (le « rappeur » de Linkin Park) cité par 20minutes.fr.

Ce service est pour le moment en cours de déploiement, à commencer par les Etats-Unis, mais vous pouvez déjà faire un essai sur sa page officielle.

Attention, il ne faut pas confondre ce service avec ce site non-officiel, qui permet de télécharger des chansons grâce à un hack sur des requêtes Google : http://www.googlemusicsearch.com/

Testing a new GPS for iPhone: CoPilot Live

I tested for you the navigation software CoPilot Live, the latest product released by ALK. CoPilot Live is to Android, Windows Mobile and iPhone. Version of France has just been put online. CoPilot is the 1st application fee on iTunes, Section Navigation to United Kingdom and Italy at the moment, I wanted to see what value this GPS meet leaders of this type: TomTom TomTom and you can find the tests in their respective articles.

Ergonomics and Display

As you can see from the screenshot above, the default theme of CoPilot Live is rather pleasant. Unlike the competition, it is possible to customize its different day mode and night mode (which is automatic and based on local time).

The curves of the roads are smooth, fonts are legible and clear information. At the information display dashboard (speed, distance, time remaining, etc..), It is unfortunate that we can display in one or two information simultaneously, or multiple shifts, which is less complete than TomTom. Asked about this, the editor told me of his desire to keep the attention of drivers on the road and not on the GPS ...

The interface is all touch and generally well thought out, the address lookup is fairly intuitive. It should be noted that for once, it does not specify the country search for the software can search all countries at once. For cons, the keyboard is in alphabetical order and not in any configuration "standard" QWERTY, QWERTZ or QWERTY. It's confusing at first, but eventually got used to it quickly. In addition, the publisher will include this type of keyboard in a future release.

It is possible for subsequent searches of the addresses searched view or set a favorite "home" but also a favorite "work".

The voice guidance in French is clear and natural. It is possible to choose the sex and language of his "partner" from a well-stocked list.

Performance

At speed, no complaints. On my iPhone 3GS, the application launching in about ten seconds and the signal is quickly found.

In any case, the GPS is the most fluid I've seen so far and it's really nice. The refresh is done almost in real time and not once or twice per second ... Considering the amount of detail displayed on the screen is a feat!

Sometimes, I must point out that the GPS signal is lost but it seems to be rather linked to the GPS chip the iPhone, low power. This defect does not affect phones Android or Windows Mobile. Contacted about the matter, the publisher says that this defect is the cause of the way "tunnel" which, like their competitors do not work at all on the iPhone.

Features

The real added value of software lies in its numerous features, innovative and useful.

To begin, just like Navigon, CoPilot has a mode Clear Turn "which displays a real view of highway interchanges and a clear view for positioning on the right track. Another significant advantage, directional arrows tell you the next turn and the next, which can more easily anticipate the positioning on the tracks.

Like TomTom, CoPilot Aboard a base of fixed cameras and warns you so very clear when you approach one of them (in a good way) and tells you your actual speed and the speed limit. Innovation CoPilot is that it intelligently inform you of speed limits in France, but also when you move abroad.

Otherwise, as opposed to Navigon and TomTom, CoPilot integrates logos of big names on its maps. This is little more aesthetically pleasing rendering.

Among the features that I did not tested, is that of "monuments in 3D," which, as its name implies, represents the 3D buildings to give you visual cues clearer. Other notable gaps in the version I tested, the way "live traffic" and "fuel prices" were not yet available but will be essential to benefit seriously this GPS compete.

The feature "Live Weather" gives us good weather for several days to the destination or departure city, your choice. An Internet connection is obviously essential.

Finally, the features that are not tested "Live Search" (search the Internet points of interest), CoPilot OnDemand (to download the maps via the Internet which are not available yet) or LiveLink (to share its position with Friends have CoPilot) are little more undeniable, given the minimalist Garmin or TomTom, tip the scales in favor of software from ALK.

Conclusion

While TomTom and Garmin GPS are great, this newcomer CoPilot landed with the vocation to be more complete. Having the experience of three, I must say that my heart is torn between graphic rendering very pleasant and the Navigon CoPilot between function and IQ Route TomTom on the hideous and fluidity of CoPilot.

However, CoPilot has the merit of enabling navigation in city Honorable (calculated detour placement on the tracks, pedestrian mode ...) and being a co-pilot needed for highway driving (speed cameras, for real output ...).

After it is a pity that the space below is not best used as TomTom, which displays a dashboard very comprehensive, but it is possible that the publisher takes into account your remarks via the comments on iTunes, forums and blogs (so feel free to comment!). Furthermore, I believe, if the feature "live traffic" is the height, she will compete the function of TomTom IQ Routes, the last bastion of CoPilot to win the ultimate status of GPS for iPhone.

Comfortable to use, efficient and equipped with many innovative features, CoPilot is therefore placed at the intersection of TomTom and Garmin by combining the advantages of each.

The PSPgo very little for me

Sony released a few days that the new version of its handheld console. The PSPgo knows many changes (I did not say "improvements" ...) compared to previous versions of PSP. The most notable change is with the dematerialization of UMD, in other words, it is possible to play its games on the PSP PSPgo because it will now download first ... This problem is at the heart of several current controversies . Let's review a few all ...

News

The first most notable new feature is the lack of UMD drive which requires the download of games you want to play. I return to this point later.

The second novelty of the PSPgo compared to its counterparts (the PSP-1000, PSP-2000 and PSP-3000) lies in its design. The screen slides up to the way a mobile phone. The PSP also becomes smaller, losing a few inches to the passage of his superb diagonal screen from 4.3 to 3.8 inches (10.92 cm to 9.65 cm). However, this shrinkage occurs without loss in resolution that is in 480 × 272.

The keys of the game have also been revised: they are smaller and now located below the screen. Some think that the buttons are now too small for adult hands.

In terms of connectivity, nothing changes compared to the PSP-3000 that already had the video output, built-in microphone, USB and Wi-Fi except that the PSPgo now supports Bluetooth 2.0 . The memory card format also changes: the Memory Stick Duo, you pass the Memory Stick Micro (M2). But they were apparently the same price.

Another drawback is the battery level is now fixed. This is probably intended to prevent any intrusion hack through it (I remember that the PSP-1000 and 2000 were crackables easily via this means using the batteries changed, "Pandora").

The controversy PSPgo
______________________________________________________________
Smaller, lighter but with similar performance, the PSPgo could be a portable, very appreciated. However, Sony has opted for paperless games console pocket.

It is now necessary to buy them online and then download the Flash memory of the console. The presence of flash memory is new in the PSPgo. The storage capacity of this memory is 16 GB To give an idea, knowing that a big image file PSP game average is about 1 GB, it could also accommodate up to 16 games. And since it is impossible to read his old games on the PSP PSPgo, Sony offers buyers the PSPGO download free 3 games that he has from a short list of securities ...

That said, the games will load faster using flash memory as via UMD. The irony is that players who are already using pirated games already benefiting from this fast since they store the image files of their games (usually in the form of ISO file) directly on the Memory Stick Duo in PSP. Speaking of piracy, I am not informed about the case but it does not say that PSPgo is easily hackable, when I see the manipulations required for the cracking of a PSP-3000 ...

Finally, the last unhappy with the dematerialization of video games are the dealers. Indeed, they, if they sell PSPgo not see again their beloved small customers in store as they will no longer need to buy "physically" their games. There would thus have a real boycott this machine from specialist dealers. This would explain why the PSPgo is not featured on some displays: do not confuse with any big sales since its release! Because apparently the PSPgo not sell more than that in the UK, some retailers were already offering discounts of 5 days after its release. Some critics ironically the situation by comparing the launch of PSPgo with that of the defunct Nokia handheld console, the NGage as illustrated below the drawing of the Tong.

psp go PSPgo

Conclusion
_____________________________________________________________
In conclusion, if this PSPgo "some" benefits (not much) over previous versions, it has many drawbacks especially: the gameplay on the buttons smaller, dematerialisation games and high price (249 euros instead 169 for the previous). Let us not forget that what makes the qualities of PSPgo (quality graphics, games, multimedia capabilities) is inherited from previous PSP which currently cost less and are more "flexible" use.

The PSPgo part of a new movement of dematerialization of games that has several advantages for the publisher (price reduced distribution chain, direct contact with the purchaser) and players (price of 2 games to 10 euros EUR availability). Finally, if you remember my article on OnLive, you'll see what I mean ... the wise!
