TomTom talk

I recently drove from Maryland to Florida. While the TomTom One is an excellent device, it is crippled by the TeleAtlas maps. Luckily I had printed out Mapquest directions, which are based on NavTeq maps.

Not only did the TeleAtlas try to send me in the wrong direction, it could not recognize roads that have been there for years. The Navteq directions had no such problems.

Anyone know if these redlight cameras can be used on the Tomtom 720?

Hi, anyone know how I can convert mgln poi files into TomTom or csv format?

Thanks

Here's a story about how Nokia's purchase of NavTeq may affect TomTom's purchase of TeleAtlas:

TomTom Shares Fall on Tele Atlas Fears

Has anyone any experience with pairing Motorola MOTORAZR maxx Ve or MOTOKRZR K1m, or Samsung SCH- models with TomTom GO 700 for hands-free calling. Verizon is the carrier.

Is there any particular blue-tooth capability I should look for in the phone?

Thanks,

Does anyone know when Tomtom and Igo upgrade new maps for North America?
Cheers.

tomtom 510 was my first experience to use gps.
Unfortunately, it was terrible.

Just curious if anyone is using these poi files with their TomTom. I have it set to alert ONLY if the POI is on the planned route, and I still get alerted if the POI is within the designated distance. I would think that the setting to alert ONLY if the POI is on the route, would force the device to alert if the POI is on the same street, no?

How can i view a phone number of a p.o.i. in my tomtom one? When you create a custom poi it has a screen to input a phone number. Is this just for making calls with bluetooth or can i view the number some how?

Concord, Mass. — TomTom introduced today a new midline personal navigation device (PND) that allows users to update maps as they go and share the changes with other users.

The new TomTom GO 720 is a slim-line PND with a 4.3-inch touchscreen and is the first TomTom to offer optional RDS real-time traffic.

Costco is selling the TomTom ONE "Dad Pack" for about $300. Seems like a good deal, the only question is... will it be worth it? I know that TomTom uses the TeleAtlas maps, which seem a bit less robust. Anyone out there try this one yet, or know where i can find a good review?

Just found this attractive "pond" and jumped right in. The 80-page on-line manual from TomTom raises more questions than it answers. Fortunately, the menus are identical to your 510 and I hope you can enlighten me:

When making a test itinerary - either with TT Home or on the device - I am unable to delete all vestiges of it when I want to prepare one "for real".

Has anyone tested the new TomTom Navigator 6 software or upgrade for their TomTom Go/Rider/One?

They have a promotion where you can upgrade for free or with an nominal fee.

I have the TomTom Navigator 5.2 and the map is sort of outdated vs. Garmin, especially in the newer areas of Atlanta.

Thanks.

Does anyone know how to import poi files to a Tom Tom Go510? Any help would be appreciated.

I just read this on the newsgroup, alt.satellite.gps. You can take it for what its worth. Maybe true, maybe not.
