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

1. I purchased this program to use on my HTC Tilt. It was easy to load onto the phone, but getting everything tweaked so that it would work on my phone well was a challenge. I tried it out on a long trip that I know well just to see how it would perform. At first it was really frustrating because the display would freeze up, although the program continued to run because the voice directions still came in at the right time. I finally figured out that I had to increase the cache size on my phone - then the program worked like a charm. I did notice that the maps were not completely current and I am a bit frustrated that I have to shell out more money to get updated maps right after buying the program.



2. I only wish I had read the reviews on Amazon before I purchased the TomTom Navigator 6 product last month.
   
   Here are just some highlights of the problems I have had:
   
   1. U.S. Maps are not current -- Roads in Orange County, California, more than three years old, are not on the maps.
   
   2. The Company has a poor upgrade policy -- I bought the program with maps, expecting the maps to be reasonably current. Until you start using the maps there is no way of knowing whether they are current, as it is not disclosed on the software product. I discovered that after my purchase, the Company upgraded the maps. A customer service rep claims the new maps are two versions later than my version. Of course, you can buy the new maps and download them, but at a price nearly the price of the entire software product with maps.
   
   3. Traffic function -- If the traffic function worked, it could be better than Google's free traffic information, and worth the annual fee. Why? Because TomTom traffic is supposed to actually reroute you, not just tell you the location of traffic. The problems, however, abound:
   
   (a) the server can be down an entire weekend (like last weekend) without advance notice, and all you receive is a server error message;
   
   (b) it is a chore (almost impossible) to figure out how to purcahse traffic for the U.S. (and I wasted a few hours trying to figure it out), but here's the funky solution: to purchase U.S. traffic, you actually purchase traffic for Europe, and then tell TomTom's web site that your country is The Netherlands (of course, these instructions were obtainable only from customer service);
   
   (c) the traffic system, although it will reroute you, does not make it easy to actually see where the traffic snarl is (unlike Google), as it only displays in a very small size reflecting traffic on the entire route.
   
   4. Customer Service -- The Company apparently fails to give its customer service reps much flexibility. I learned in following up on a problem through the electornic customer service system that the customer service reps have routine written answers that may or may not fit your question or comment. I received the verbatim response twice to an email thread where I said different things.
   
   5. Product quality -- The CD that I received only works some of the time in my Windows XP CD-Rom drive. I have not had this problem with other CD's.
   
   I feel like I am a sophisticated computer and pda user, but this product has frustrated me. I'm going back to using Google maps. And no, I don't own stock in Google.
   
   Hoping I'll make a better purchase decision next time.



3. Software on DVD does not support Palm TX. I have tried to upgrade from Navigator 5.0 to 6.0. I have find out on another forum, that for Palm TX Navigator 6.0 has to be preinstalled on the SD card.



4. This was the only product I could find that provides software and maps (only) for a GPS-enabled PDA/phone. I thus purchased it for my new HTC Touch Cruise PDA running Windows Mobile 6. I was suspicious finding both highly positive and negative reviews, but hoped things had improved since they were written. I was further encouraged when prompted to upgrade from version 1.03 to 1.5, but then the reality hit. Here is what you should know:
   
   INSTALLATION--This remains a nightmare as reported. There is no step-by-step wizard and you are thrown into a program where you select the PDA operating system, the maps, and the voices. When I tried to install the program, a dialog box informed me automatic registration was not available and that I would need to manually register online. When I attempted that, the three 5-digit Product Code was recognized, but when they asked for a Device ID described as two 5-digit sequences from the PDA, I couldn't find one. I sought answers in the printed manual (very thin), the PDF manual (also anemic) and online TomTom Q&A files without success. After a full hour of searching the Internet, I in desperation disconnected and reconnected my PDA and now suddenly could install the maps. TomTom apparently found the hidden 128 bit "universally unique DeviceID," but would not memorize the product code that has to be entered each time you add another map.
   
   There are many maps listed, but many of them overlap without specifying if they are standalone (they are) or combined into a single database when installed (they are not). Living in Colorado, I didn't know whether to install USA & Canada, Western US, UT-CO-AZ-NM, NV-WY-ID-UT-CO or all four. Unlike other products (like Garmin's MapSource), you do not see what states are included in area map selections (e.g., Western US did NOT include CO). I later concluded they provide multiple area combinations to minimize storage requirements on your PDA, but that is never stated.
   
   Once finally installed, TomTom couldn't find a GPS signal. Since Google Maps automatically found the signal, I didn't expect needing to assign a COM port (I chose COM4) and serial bus speed (I chose the fastest). The installation guide was non-existent, and searching the PDF manual yielded no hits.
   
   PROGRAM--Once installed, navigating the software is intuitive, and there are a number of customizable features. You have the ability to review your route, browse maps and display addresses by clicking on roads. I really like the ability to go to any address within my Outlook Contact Manager. Map detail is good, but I found missing road modifications three years out of date. Speed of calculation is excellent, and recalculation when going off track is remarkably fast. They have found a way to display much information on a small screen, and it is customizable. Auto zooming in and out around a turn point is smooth and excellent. Routing is sometimes serpentine and can take you through residential areas when only slightly longer arteries are preferable. There is a nice setting for auto, bicycling and walking speeds, although the calculated walking ETA is useless. The software doesn't report the side of street your destination will be found (like Garmin). There are too few POI's (points of interest) and their large font truncates most entries making searching a little difficult. The software also doesn't narrow down POI choices as you enter your search criteria. I finally wish this unit displayed available elevation information like some of the newer units.
   
   SUMMARY--I have taken the time to write a review to help those who elect to buy this product. I have used many GPS devices (including TomTom), and while standalone units can be better at less cost, this is a credible tool to have on your PDA. It should not, however, take a fairly savvy PC user over two hours to muddle through the installation. I will keep and use this software because it does work and there is no alternative, but I hope TomTom is listening.



5. I found this software difficult to use and overall, a waste of money. I bought it to use on my HP iPAQ but after much effort I gave up on it. Having said that, it could be the user and not the software. Delivery was fast. :(

1. Nice quality AC and DC power adapter for GPS, at fair price. It also comes with a 3 year warranty

1. This works excellent. It is much longer than the original holder, though - that is nice because it will bring the TomTom closer to you and it is bad since it means the TomTom bounces much more.
   Overall does a great job and sits very solidly.

1. The case easily holds the Tom Tom 920, it's charging stand and the auto plug in cord..



2. A great deal for the price. Comes w an over the shoulder strap for easy carrying for out of car use. Easily holds tomtom 92o plus auto-charger and home wall charger. My review comes up as 1 star but it should be 5.

2 comments about RAM Mounting Systems Suction Cup Mount for Garmin GPS 60, GPSMAP 60, 60C, 60CS, 60CX, 60CSx.

1. Perfect fixation on the windshield and permits you to operate the GPS without holding it from the back.



2. When I first ordered this I was a little concerned about the holding power of the suction cup. I am surprised how well it holds, especially when I take my Jeep off road. Much better then the mount that Garmin sells for its own GPS.

1. Works great in the Washington, DC area. It has helped pull off some great traffic saves. You need to be patient while it connects to the FM station. With $4 gasoline, it can really save you over the course of a year -- not counting time.



2. I recently bought the Tom Tom 930 newest model with the traffic receiver. It is a total waste of money. I live in the NY metropolitan area and it shows me that it's recieving the traffic (green light on). However, every time I tell it to re-route me, it says no other route. I know the roads, there is over 5 different routes.
   
   A call to the Tom Tom help desk is useless. They tell me to read the manual or "it should work" or some other crappy answer. In my opinion I would recommend not to buy the traffic reciever for Tom Tom and in fact not happy with Tom Tom since it doesn't know how to use back roads.
   
   the help desk sucks !!



3. I Bought the RDS-TMC Traffic receiver for my TomTom920. There were vertually no instructions. Online It is noted If have no Traffic acount. AWhen I click to buy traffic coverage whic is supposed to be included for free it returns me to a site where I have to do the same thing again with no results. I have had it a month in Chicago and it is just another antenna with nothing else, Totally a waste. I am surprised that Amazon would sell such a worthless product and that TomTom will not support it.



4. Great item when you are within a big city AND if you do not listen to your IPOD music. We recently went on a cross country trip and when we were in a large city this add-on device worked wonderfully. However when we were listening to our music we never noticed the device telling us of impending traffic delays. I wished the item flashed red when there are impending traffic problems. Otherwise it works great!!



5. Given the more than $100 price I paid for this product, i was a little disappointed to find nothing more than a FM radio antennae with a mini-usb connector and 3 suction cups in the box. Considering the cost of manufacturing this has got to be less than $10, the more than 1000% markup has to at least be covering the service that this device allows me to receive.
   
   To their credit, there are no subscription fees for the traffic service once the equipment is owned, at least in my area. The service is extremely lacking though and for use in my every day travel needs, I'm far better off catching the traffic reports on the radio. TomTom will often tell me that I have delays of anywhere from 1 to 12 minutes. I've never bothered to re-route my travel based on delays, but mostly because by the time i learn of a traffic problem, it would take longer to re-route than just continue on my way since this is mostly a problem when crossing the San Francisco bay. With the regard to the SF Bay Bridge, I'm pretty sure that TomTom interprets a "bridge metering lights are on" signal as a one minute delay, where 10 to 15 minutes in the maze would be more accurate plus the delay as we slowly make our way across the bridge.
   
   Some of this could be TomTom mapping software problem as well. If there are accidents on freeway when i leave work, then the side streets i usually take home are also backed up. I saved myself an extra 1/2 hour of drive time last night, but only because i had personal knowledge of even smaller side streets.
   
   I still have this antennae in my car, but it is no longer hanging in my window feeding info to my TomTom. Rather, it sits in my center console / armrest waiting to be tested again at a later date.

1. Good product. You have to remove the contacts from your car mount and insert them into this unit to make it work. This unfortunately renders your car mount useless. I have it mounted on a dualsport bike. I've read on some forums that just like brake levers on a dirt bike, you should leave the mount a bit loose, in case you dump your bike. That way it will pivot on your handle bars and it won't break. You can easily remove your gps, because
   it's just like the mount on your car unit.
