TomTom

Just coughaquiredcough Tom Tom Navigator and Europe Maps 5.21 with Celeb Voices

I'll be getting a Nokia N70 to run it on probably, too. I'll need a GPS receiver, too, about 80-100?

Anything else i'll need? Will it just work, or do I need to pay money or register or anything?

Anything discussed in this thread is entirely hypothetical, and therefore, a non lockable-upable offense by the fuzz

GPS receivers cost from about 30 on EBay.



I don't want to sound ignorant, but is the N70 a phone or a PDA? If it is a phone, then I think you need to use TomTom Navigator Mobile instead. (If it is a PDA then that's fine.)



If the TomTom software you have has been fiddled with, then it will run
ok. If it is purely a backup copy, then I believe that you have
to register.

 

You'll need plenty of petrol, because tomtom sure does love a main road in my experience.

Going A to B? Lets got 10 miles out of our way so we can stick to A roads only!

 

ahhh, n70 is a phone. I can get the Mobile version no worries..

 

So has anyone run Tom Tom on a non PDA?

 

My mate runs it on a phone no problem, with a bluetooth gps receiver. No touch screen, but same functionality.

 

Mine took me to the airport the otherday, only I did'nt end up at the main entrance. I wondered what was going on when I turned off the main road up some zig zag lane and then jane blurts out "you have reached your destination" err I don't think so love this is service point 3 with a big sign "do not enter"

 

Ah yes, not touch screen.. I wonder what it's like, are functions bound to different number pad keys?

 

You just go through the menus with your joystick/cursor button etc.



Works ok, but I prefer mine. You can just tap great big icons whilst you are moving along, rather than fiddle with the buttons.

 

Could I plug my RA 2 into an N70 and use it as a GPS receiver?



Fordo!

 

well once you've entered your destination i'm sure that's kinda good. the N70 has voice recognition software, I wonder if you could get some sort of software to inter work

this is what TomTom Mobile looks like.. kidna compact, i'd have to use it to see if I liked it. I really like the big map and location thing of the TomTom, might ask my scouse mate barry to locate one..

 

is brand new boxed TomTom 700 for 300 a good price?

blatently getting a TomTom..

 

i'd say thats excellent, bought my 700 over xmas from exeter, was up for 450, but got halfrauds down to 415.

it does show you some strange routes but if you get stuck in traffic, it helps you find ways around incidents.

I'm off to an airfield shortly for work, the postcode does not show up on any online map, but it does on the tomtom
