TomTom's popular offline navigation apps have finally made their way over to Android, right on schedule. The apps have a similar feature set to their iOS counterparts, although lack the recently-added FourSquare integration. If that doesn't bother you, you'll still get all the essential features, including spoken turn-by-turn directions in multiple languages, speed camera notifications, "HD Traffic" routing, and "lifetime" map updates (TomTom says four or more per year)....
