Tom Tom, the leading manufacturer of navigation systems in Europe, including both stand-alone units and software or mobile apps, has introduced a new version of its popular iOS navigation app at this year`s CES where a number of amazing new features have been integrated.


The new updated version makes use of social networks like Facebook and Twitter to help you with the navigation. Version 1.10 of the current TomTom apps will take in the new social features with abilities such as navigating to recent checkins on a network being added throughout the app. Notifications of expected ETA and more can be shared so you can keep your friends and family updated on your movements.

“The TomTom App for iPhone and iPad will be the first to use social networks as a source for turn-by-turn navigation. It can automatically plan routes based on information from Facebook events, places and friends. Drivers can also use the App to share their destination and arrival time on Twitter, Facebook, by email and SMS text.”

We still don’t have an official release date for the updated app, but its expected to launch some time in the first quarter of 2012.

We will keep you posted.
