iPhone and TomTom One GPS

iPhone's bluetooth is very limited for now, all it can be used with is a bluetooth headset

TomTom GPS units won't pair up with the iPhone. So far only headsets and Garmin Nuvi 6XX Series GPS units work with the iPhone. I have a Nuvi 680 GPS that pairs up perfectly.

I, too, like to find out what does it do after it pairs up?

Does it work with Google Map and give you current location on the map? Can it track?

I've tried to pair it up with my BT GPS receiver (DeLorme) but would not...

When a GPS unit says that you can pair it up with a cellphone, they mean it can take and make phonecalls on the GPS unit itself

Yes, the iPhone pairs up with the Garmin Nuvi series of GPS in that you can use it to take and make phonecalls. The calls use the GPS built in speaker so they are pretty loud. The iPhones contacts and recent calls all can show up on the GPS. The GPS itself does not function on the cellphone. That is not possible with any GPS without having extra equipment.

The TomTom One works fine with bluetooth phones that support data over bluetooth. The iPhone does not support data. That's why you can't pair it. When you try, you will receive a message to the effect of a required service not being found. The TomTom One does not work as a hands free device for talking on a cell phone via bluetooth. Anyone who can pair their iPhone successfully with their GPS most likely has a GPS that doubles as a speaker phone device. Even if they can pair it, it will not do anything with Google Maps, it will not let you pull traffic data via the internet from TomTom Plus style services, etc. If TomTom Plus services are something you need, don't buy an iPhone. If you, like me, already own an iPhone, you need to complain to Apple, not TomTom. Hopefully they will open up data over bluetooth soon, but I'm not holding my breath.

My TomTom Go 920T connects to my iPhone fine and it even sync'd contacts. But it does not allow the textings features to work and it does not allow the TomTom to use the data connection for traffic updates. Also, the hands free is a bit on the quiet side, but is fine with other phones. Would be great if these Bluetooth features were enabled on the phone.

I really miss the way my Garmin Nuvi worked with my old Sony Ericsson. It was nice having its phone book synced with my cell phone automatically each time I got in my car. It also a did text messaging through my cell phone.

The Garmin Nuvi does work as a speaker phone for my iPhone but nothing else.

Try to pair it up again. My Nuvi 680 pairs up perfectly as I stated in my previous post in this forum. I can take and make calls from my GPS screen and the call comes through on my stereo speakers. The iPhones contact list also shows on the GPS. Only thing that doesn't work is the Texting.

I am in the same predicament. I am not letting go of hope that with the February release of developer kits to the masses (of developers), some new functionality will materialize. Is this incompatibility anything that might be remedied via a software update, or, some sort of driver that a 3rd party developer might create?

I also like the TomTom, and as it was a gift and I wasn't planning on buying a GPS device, it's the only one I'll have in the near future. It would be great if it worked with my precious iPhone.

Thanks!

I tried pairing my TomTom GO 720 with the iPhone - no go. Then I read the messages above, so I disabled wireless data on the TomTom - and tried again. TomTom saw my iPhone, went 40% into checking its features, and stopped there. At the same time, I did same thing on the iPhone - and it paired OK. So I re-enabled wireless data on TomTom, and tried again. This time - it paired! Then I got a message from TomTom saying my iPhone does not support wireless data transfer. Fine, I though - but then TomTom asked me if I wanted it to copy my contacts. And... it did that, too. So I am totally and completely baffled now - but paired with my TomTom, too. And it works just fine (as a hands free device, that is, but that's all I'm after at this stage).

(I only wonder what will happen it the car, cause as of now it sees my phone as 192.168.0.109 - but hopefully it'll see some Apple provided, default IP number instead.)

My GO720 sync's with my iPhone, even dials ok or receives ok - BUT - the caller on the other phone cannot hear me at all.

You got me worried there for a moment - but I have just tested it, and it works fine on my setup.
