You can now get a fully featured Sat Nav application for your iPhone for just £5. NDrive have just dropped the price of their iPhone App to £4.99, and despite the budget price tag, it’s actually pretty good and is good alternative to TomTom, CoPilot and Navigon.

Until now.

We already know that the software and the car cradle will be available separately, and we’re now hearing that the car cradle will retail for around 115, but there is no news yet as to whether this includes the software or not.

UPDATE: TomTom for UK is available now in the iTunes App store for 59.99. No confirmed pricing yet on the car kit. iTunes Link.

  1. EasyPort Mount from the TomTom ONE and TomTomXL
  2. Built In Speaker
  3. Volume Control
  4. Microphone for handsfree calling
  5. Mini USB Charging Connector
  6. Audio Line out (for connecting to Car Stereo)

Sources are also confirming that it will work with the iPod touch too.

We’ve not yet been able to confirm any of this yet with our suppliers, and we’ll post again as soon as we know more.

On a similar note, the rumour mill is also suggesting that CoPilot Live 8 is on its way to the App Store and will be available some time next week for around 26. UPDATE: CoPilot Live 8 is available now from the AppStore – iTunes Link

Decisions decisions…60+the cost of the car kit for TomTom, 26 for CoPilot…
