Abstract
In the forensic field of digital technology, there has been a great deal of investigation into the decoding of navigation systems of the brand TomTom. As TomTom is the market leader in navigation systems, a large number of these devices are investigated. These devices can hold an abundance of significant location information. Currently, it is possible with the use of multiple methods to make physical copies of mobile devices running Android. The next great forensic problem is all the various programs that can be installed on these devices. There is now an application available from the company TomTom in the Google Play Store. This application mimics a navigation system on your Android mobile device. Indeed, the TomTom application on Android can hold a great deal of information.
