Tom Tom Middle East – iphone
Tom Tom GPS Navigator was the latest on Appstore purchases. For a road trip to Muscat, Oman and some sightseeing into the interiors of Oman it really proved handy. With the inbuilt GPS on iphone 3G there is no need for a telephone connection. iphone works just like a GPS device and at a price of AED320 compared to any other GPS device which costs at least AED 800 or above it was really worth while. The whole trip was smooth and could make last minute diversions without any hassle. On the way to Muscat, took the diversion to Rustaq to see the hot springs and joined the main route through Barqa after seeing the Ostrich farm. Next day, covered the Nizwa Fort and visited Al Hoota caves (Al Hoota was not on the GPS map as it is a new road) on the way to Al Hamra. The following day did Yeti and Qantab beaches and Mattrah Corniche via the Bustan road. I used to live in Muscat till 2004, however after all these years, without Tom Tom I would have taken many wrong turns. Thanks to Tom Tom for the memorable experience.
