TomTom today launched its flagship Navigation for Android application. But there's one problem: it won't work on some of the top Android-based devices today.


The new app, which is available in the Google Play store, includes full offline support and free use of the maps over its lifetime. According to TomTom, the program includes live traffic information and locations of speed cameras to help users avoid a hefty fine. The application supports turn-by-turn guidance, of course, and calls out street names while providing lane guidance.


Given those features, some users might jump at the chance to try out the high-powered app. However, TomTom says that the program is limited to screen resolutions of 800 x 480 and 854 x 480. In other words, devices with higher screen resolutions won't support the application for now.
