I will be to the bogalusa,la. area for Christmas. Just wondering 1) If anyone was on the forum from there and secondly if anyone poi files for the area as well ?

I have seen numerous times on my travels here in the lower mainland of BC that out of 75 red lights cameras or more that are installed, I maybe have 20% of them show up on my TomTom 630 .. How can I update and save new information up to November 2010???
I find the area here on the POI Factory but are these updates/ or just the icons?avatars only???

Is there a way to make this GPS turn on when you turn on the ignition and off when you turn the ignition off?

Seem like a pretty standard GPS function but haven't been able to locate it?

Hey, does anyone know if you can add custom POI's to the new TomTom Go 2505?

I currently have a Go 720 and am able to use POI Edit 2007 to create my POI's and then add them to my GPS unit.

I am looking to update my Go 720 to the new Go 2505 and have read in some reviews that you aren't able to add POI's, Voices, etc. Does anyone know if this is true or not? If so, why?

I can't figure out why most Tomtom GPS units won't interface with Mapquest or Google Maps.

How hard would it be for Tomtom? I called their support line today and was told that only 2 of their product lines, one being the Go series, interfaced.

I just ran into a problem today. When TomTom Home came up, it had a new map update for my XXL-540TM. So, I ran through the update procedure. When it was finished, I tried to operate the device and got the error message that the map downloaded was not compatible with my device. I called TomTom Support to see what may have happened.

for all you tomtom xxl owners . how many have the dash mount and what do you use ?
i have universal bean bag but the part you attach to the back of the unit seems to be about an inch to short to bend to 90 deg. any workarounds for this still using the bean bag type mount ?

bit the bullet and purchased one . i was more motivated by the 5 inch screen and lifetime map update ( 119.00 price) . hope i wont be sorry.

I own a TomTom One 130 S. I love it. It's works well and is a great value. I was thinking of purchasing another TomTom GPSr for my brother. I've done some research and really like the TomTom XL 340 TM (not the LIVE version).

If I purchase a previously-owned TomTom via eBay, and the previous owner has already registered the unit, will:

FYI Staples is offering the TomTom XL 335 GPS this coming Wednesday (11/17/2010) for $90.

Okay, I'm all new to GPS, got a Tomtom XXL550T. My wife and I live full time in a motorhome. I'm not sure I have this correct or not. I think I downloaded a low clearance alert POI, and Walmart and Cracker Barrel POIs. It in the POI management menu on the TT it seems they are all together. I guess I just want to make sure I'm downloading it correctly.

looking at this unit at buy.com and a little confused . everybody else says its a 5 inch screen and tech specs at the bottom of their page say its a 4.3 inch .any tomtom xxl 550m owners out there ?

I've been playing with the tomtom go 2505 and i think it's good enough to dump my garmins.

Anyone try his WiFi poi on a Tomtom? I just did on my 930 and I show them installed but Im not seeing them.

I use the old PDA/smart phone software Navigator 6. I have used custom POI files before, but I am new to POI Factory files.

I downloaded a couple and tried them out. In TomTom, I could see the files in the list and if I used the Find feature the items showed up, but I had trouble seeing them in the map. They didn't show up at all, not a red box, not an icon -- nothing.

Sony is coming out with two new units that fit in the dash. One has a 7 inch touch screen and the other has a 6.1 inch screen for a slightly smaller price.

Go here for some more info.

I'm a TomTom guy who just found out the hard way that the unites sometimes don't react well to being dropped. Anyway I may be in the market for a new unit and I was wondering if anyone is familiar with this unit. 2 features of my current unit that I really want on a new unit are Itinerary planning and the ability to set warnings prior to reaching points of interest.
