How to run the iPhone app while on a call

[mvl]

We're all doing a late nite...

Does any nav stuff work while on a call?

But thanks for all the info...

No it goes to phone mode then after a call it relaunches the application - Mike

A member on macrumors said that there's a way to keep the app onscreen and be on a call at the same time. Assuming he's right, this removes one of the key pitfalls of running a turn-by-turn on an iPhone.

Folks do realize that you can use the phone and TomTom (or any other application) at the same time, right?

I've seen lots of posts complaining about getting a phone call in the middle of navigating. If a call comes in, answer it, click the home button to put the phone call into the background and resume the TomTom application.

I had to do this earlier today and it worked great. You don't get the voice prompts to turn, etc, but that's to be expected. Everything else worked perfectly.
