Works great, but can anyone tell me how to disable my phone from turning on the data connection when I start TomTom?

Thanks

Im glad you like it

It does that so you acquire a faster lock with the built in aGps. But, You can simply go to your communication manager and turn the data off after you start TomTom. Unfortunately, I do not know of a way to have it automatically disconnect data when starting the app. Hopefully someone else will chime in to further assist you.

you could also try disabling aGPS with Advanced Config. that might stop it from opening the data to begin with.

Great suggestion, but then he wont be able to use cellular data at all for Internet, Youtube, Streaming Music...ect.

Couldn't tell by his question if he wanted to just prevent TomTom from accessing data or disable data altogether. If the latter is the case then your suggestion would be perfect. Hopefully he'll chime in to let us know.
