Navman V Tom Tom
Considering purchase of sat nav system and note tom tom seems to have great reviews but navman looks as if you can use it on foot, is this the case? also the pictures do not show how it actually mounts in the car, does it need extra cables for gps receiver and does it need to be plugged in to cigarette charger? Any help greatly appreciated

Safety Camera Download For Tomtom Go 300
I've noticed that there is a safety camera download on this website for the tomtom go. Will this download work with the new tomtom go 300?Posted by Tim KirkApril 29, 2005
Speed Cameras For The Navman
If your Navman can handle POIs you should be able to install the speed cameras. But the Navman uses a differently formatted database, so you won't be able to use the same download as for the Tom Tom.
believe the speed camera databases are the same but they are just formatted differently depending on the device.
This site has the speed camera downloads available and gives some useful informationhttp://www.pocketgpsworld.com/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=17702
This other site has a useful shareware program that allows you to manage all your POIs on your own PC. With it you can Save, load, convert and edit TomTom Navigator, Smartpath, Destinator*, Navman*, GPX, Excel etc...

thanks Posted by ShaunApril 27, 2005 Classic Ttg I tried to download v5 from the TT website, but my unit still shows v4.42. Any ideas/help appreciated.Posted by PhilApril 27, 2005 Asn I have a TomtomGo Classic and find the ASN very useful. You would think that coming out of a tunnel you get GPS connection back immediately. Nope. Sometimes it can take a good 4 minutes to return, and during that time many a wrong turn can be taken! So ASN for me is a real feature. It not only works in tunnels, but whenever you lose your gps signal (which happens a fair bit). I for one dont want to lose the feature, so will buy the 500 - the bluetooth handsfree makes a lot of sense.Posted by MichelleskiApril 26, 2005 700 Upgradable I thought the 700 also came with an SD slot? Either way, you'll be able connect the TomTom to your PC and update software/maps on the drive that way.Posted by GarthApril 25, 2005 Upgradable 700 Will the new tomtom 700 with pre-installed maps be upgradable? as the other versions have sd cards which can be upgraded.Posted by WakApril 25, 2005 Asn Thanks for the explanation of Assisted Satellite Navigation. Most helpful. If the TomTom is effectively just guessing at your location during signal loss. I think I'll go for the TOM TOM GO 300 without itPosted by TonyApril 23, 2005 P2p Mike... p2p = peer to peer. Usually illegal file sharing programs. Used mostly to download mp3s, games, and movies. Posted by PeteApril 23, 2005 Assisted Navigation (tunnels) If the signal is lost (i.e in a tunnel)The Standard TTG continues to track at the same speed at which you wre travelling at the time of signal loss. On emerging from a tunnel there may be a slight jump whilst the cursor calibrates to the true gps location. hope that helps. Posted by AbApril 23, 2005 Maps Whats p2p ???Posted by MikeApril 23, 2005 Maps I know you shouldn't really, but as its a bit of an emergency have you tried a p2p network? you could always buy at a later date.Posted by LollypopApril 23, 2005 Usa Maps Amy ... Yes the new maps will work. You will need to upgrade the os to 5 (which is a download from the site).
Willing to pay cash if anyone has them. None on ebay im afraid. Posted by MikeApril 22, 2005 Tomtom Usa Maps Hi Mike,
I have also tried finding the maps for the USA but no luck yet! do you know if the new maps will work with the orignal tomtom go? I assume thats what you have?
Amy Posted by AmyApril 22, 2005 Tomtom Go - Usa Maps Im desperatly trying to find a map that covers the USA - specifically Florida at this time.
I asked tomtom direct and they said the old version had been taken offline and they where 'awaiting' the new version but couldnt tell me when it would be available.
I travel on May 10th. Can anyone help ?

I have copied "Maps of France" onto a bigger SD card so that I can have all my maps together. When I wish to change maps to France, it asks for an activation code. As these maps are plug and play, I am confussed. My normal activation code does not work. Any ideas?Posted by ChrisApril 19, 2005 Re:postcodes I agree, ASN probably isn't really needed (probably why they dropped it from the 300) - although it's supposed to help in really heavily built up city areas too.
Yeah Postcodes will work straight out of the box, the new maps that come shipped with the new range contain the postcode data. Posted by Gp123April 19, 2005
