1. This is a great product, no one can tell you have a gps in your car when you use this product. I would suggest this to anyone that has a GPS, no window circles!!!

5 comments about TomTom External Antenna for GO 510 and 910 and ONE Navigators (9N00.000).

1. I use the TT external antenna in my Class A Motorhome. The roof overhang is such that the internal antenna sometimes lost the signal. Since using the external antenna, I have had no signal loss problems at all. I highly recommend it for any application where line of sight to the sats is a problem.



2. Greatly enhances the operation of the Tom Tom.
   I use the Tom Tom inside a van and it allows me to get reliable reception with out being in the front seat.



3. I bought the product due to poor reception through the window. It didn't really help and I solved the problem by moving the TomTom from the middle of the front window to the side where the reception was stronger.



4. i own a full sized chevy silverado and had plenty of dashboard space. i didn't want the unit on top of the dash or suction cupped to the window. so i mounted it in my dashboard and it looks great it's out of direct sunlight, the thieves cant see it so the only problem was reception. it was solved by adding the external antenna, my gps gets more satellites than my tv does and in any weather or location.



5. I don't know how well this item works. However, Amazon.com put this in as a recommended purchase when I purchased my TomTom One Third Edition. However, after receiving the GPS and the antenna, I found out you can't use an external antenna with a TomTom One Third Edition.
   
   I can't give it a perfect mark because I know nothing about it. I gave it a three star because Amazon.com shouldn't be referring it as a recommended buy

1. I own three car type GPS's and the one I use the most is my Tom Tom. Well, as many of you know the Tom Tom does NOT come with a decent mount. The mount with the Tom Tom literally is a piece of junk that doesn't stay "connected" to your dash or windshield. So, I searched for a replacement mount and thought I would try this one. It is perfect! It has a suction cup type base with a latch that literally locks it to the windshield or your dash mount. I have had mine mounted with GPS attached for weeks and it has not come off yet. It has two separate adjustments for positioning and it extends about 8 inches or so which puts the GPS closer to you for viewing. I cannot say enough about this GPS mount! You won't be disappointed with your purchase.

1 comments about GlobalSat BU-353 WaterProof USB GPS Receiver (SiRF Star III) (BU-353).

1. Very simple to use and very reliable. I've used this device with SeaClear II navigation software for nautical and auto navigation and have yet to find a problem. Comes with a CD that will help you define a com port (meaning you'll assign one of your USB slots for use with the GPS). Also included is basic software to test and configure the device.
   
   An excellent value!

5 comments about Tom Tom Navigator 6 Software with Maps of the US and Canada (DVD) and Bluetooth GPS Receiver.

1. Tomtom maps and application is not a reliable product that you can count on when you are traveling and do not have access to your PC and the disks. This is the second time that the application has stranded me and I am writing this review for others interested in purchasing this program not to get in a situation like I have, and Tomtom staff to read and fix the problem.
   
   I purchased a Tomtom with an HP PDA to travel through Europe (mostly Italy). I installed the software and got an authentication code from the site they specified and started using the device. After about a month of use, and feeling confident that I did not need a paper map, we took a trip to Florence, following Tomtom's direction. After about 20 minutes, the program froze. It would not even respond to a soft reset. I had to take the battery out to get windows CE up and running. After the operating system restarted, I started Tomtom program. It asked me for an activation code. Have in mind that I am in the middle of Italian countryside and not sitting in Silicon Valley. I had to call my office and they went to my office and found the original CD's, went to the authentication site and got the activation code. I found this to be just unreasonably senseless. I appreciate copy right protection, but the people who thought of this scheme must not go out of the office much. I thought of writing a review but did not and latter forgot about it.
   
   I recently bought a cell phone/PDA that has a built in GPS. To avoid having a phone and GPS I tried installing the European map on this phone (it already had the US maps on it). I went through the installation which took for ever and went to the website and got the activation code and tried entering it and it says that the activation code is not valid! So, I call Tomtom support in UK from Germany. The first customer service person was very nice and gave me some advice on how to get an update. I followed the advice and it still did not work. I called the support line again, this time a Mr. Rick answered. This person needs to be assigned to a different department. He basically spent 30 minutes lecturing me on software copy protection. He then asked me to do a hard reset. I told him I did not know how to do the hard reset. He spent another 10 minutes telling me that he is not an HP specialist and that I need to contact HP for support. At this point, I realized that this person was not able to help resolve the problem and asked for escalation to a supervisor. Rick (customer service rep) said that the supervisor would not take my call because I did not do what he was telling me to do (which was not exactly true, because I asked him to help me with the reset and he would not).
   
   I got off the phone and went to the HP site and downloaded the user's manual and did a hard reset. This caused everything to be erased (including my addresses), and Tomtom program to be deleted. And guess what, I call the customer service number again, and they did not know what to do. So, they asked for more time to research the problem and to call me. In about 4 hours not having heard from them, I called again, and this time they told me to download another program that would resolve the problem. I downloaded and it did not solve the problem. I got an email a couple of hours latter telling me to use the original SD card (which is back home) to resolve the problem.
   
   So, to make a long story short, this is not a reliable device and for anyone who has traveled in unknown places, it is a nightmare.



2. I wasn't to activate over the phone's wireless connection, but otherwise the install went fine. Great product, use it everyday to handle Los Angeles traffic (loves how it generates new routes when you have to abandon the original one).
   
   I have connectivity issues with Tom Tom Traffic, and it doesn't always seem to know about the delays, so I'm not sure I could recommend that added feature.



3. This product simply does not work on either the Treo 700p or the Treo 700w, despite any claims that TomTom makes to the contrary. (The box lists both of these as supported models.)
   
   Let me preface my review by saying that I write software for Treo phones for a living, so I know these phones inside and out. However, that knowledge did not help me get this GPS to work.
   
   I was excited to receive this GPS as a Christmas gift. However, when I installed the software on my Treo 700p, the installer displayed a message that this was an incompatible device. The 700p is listed on the box as a supported device, so this didn't make any sense. I tried updating the ROM on my 700p to the latest 1.10 ROM that is available from Palm, and that did not help. I also downloaded an update for the TomTom software for the Treo 680 (available on Palm's site). That did not help either.
   
   After messing around with this and searching the web for 2-3 hours, I gave up and started over on my Treo 700w, which is also listed as supported on the box.
   
   This time, the software installed and looked like it was working except that it couldn't detect the GPS. I followed the instructions very carefully for pairing the Bluetooth connection and setting up a COM port to communicate. (By the way, this process is ridiculously difficult for the average customer, but it is doable.) I tried several different COM ports and configuration options, and nothing worked. I was following word-for-word the instructions on TomTom's website.
   
   I tried to contact TomTom at one point, but their website thwarted me. First, their website was ridiculously slow, taking up to 5 minutes to load each page. Next, you have to create an account to submit a support question. That seems like overkill, but I did so. Finally, once you find the support page (which is well-hidden), if you type too much in your support question, you get an error message that tells you to press the Back button and update your question. When I pressed the back button, I was upset to find that it had lost everything I had written.
   
   At this point, I gave up, and I am asking the gift-giver to return this awful product for something that works.
   
   I have used TomTom stand-alone GPS units in the past and really liked them. But this experience has really soured me on the brand.



4. The software doesn't play nicely with Apple computers or Nokia. TomTom has made a more Mac friendly program available through its website, but after downloading that it wouldn't install on my phone. I have a Nokia E62, and the TomTom software makes it so that I can't access the numbers on my phone, so I'm unable to put in the product code properly to access the maps. TomTom has designed its software in such a way that it's a complete waste of time and money for certain devices.



5. While it is very cool having my palm centro act as a GPS map aid using a keychain bluetooth GPS receiver, I have to give this product the lowest rating for one major reason: tom tom doesn't provide map updates. Even if they did, updates for four regions would end up costing 150% more than the this software which includes dozens of maps.
