Has anyone used TomTom or similar SatNav on the iPhone?

I'm interested in how this works in practice on a single tasking OS, when phone calls happen, or you want to look up a contact, or an alarm rings.

I used to have a Palm T3 running TomTom 4 in the past and everything was OK until some other software, like a reminder, or looking up a contact took over.  Because of the single tasking OS, TT would lose contact with the GPS receiver and then your satnav instructions went to pot.

Palm Pre, like Android, has that comfort of a proper multi-tasking OS.  Like WinMob, but that is just Sh!ite so we won't mention that again!!

This is one of my worries about the iphone, the palm can multi-task, the iphone cant.

Not had any problems with mine, using GPS software and taking calls.. :suspect:
