Flitsmeister vs TomTom GPS
Would you rather use a Dutch navigation app instead of Apple Maps or Google Mapsthen you will soon end up with Flitsmeister and TomTom GPS. But which one is best to use? We will help you with this comparison.
Design
TomTom is the more classic navigation app of the two. The design is clear and aimed at clearly displaying the route and the immediate surroundings. Flitsmeister, on the other hand, is much more focused on real-time notifications and alerts. One is not necessarily better than the other, it depends on what you need more.
Route planning
Both apps will take you to your destination without any problems. TomTom is more extensive, with more accurate directions, voice guidance and navigation for different modes of transport. Flitsmeister is only intended for motorists and indicates faster and more accurately speed cameras, accidents and the like.
A big advantage of TomTom is that, unlike Flitsmeister, you can use offline maps. This works ideally if you do not have a stable mobile connection while on the road. Flitsmeister mainly works with online data, which means that without internet you have little use for the navigation and warning functions.
Speed cameras
This is of course what Flitsmeister was made for. You will receive rapid warnings for speed cameras (both fixed and mobile), traffic jams, accidents, road works and much more. These reports come directly from other users and from official traffic information. As a result, the app is usually both faster and more accurate with these alerts than TomTom.
Notifications
If you want to report yourself about speed cameras and dangers that you encounter along the way, Flitsmeister offers you more options. It works the same way for both apps, so there is no difference in terms of ease of use. At Flitsmeister, your reports are processed and shared faster.
Conclusion: Flitsmeister vs TomTom GPS
The conclusion of this comparison is probably not very surprising: TomTom GPS is better and more comprehensive when it comes to navigation, Flitsmeister scores better when it comes to warnings for speed cameras, traffic jams and the like. So TomTom is the best navigation app.
You can now navigate well with Flitsmeister, but TomTom still does better and also offers offline maps. Conversely, TomTom now also provides warnings for speed cameras, but not as quickly and accurately as Flitsmeister. So make your choice based on what is most important to you.
