1) TomTom is outdated >>>
TomTom no longer support the PDA or mobile platform. AFAIK Version 6 is the last one.

2) Its slow >>>
Its slow because its running using an emulator, run a proper PC navigation and you will see the difference.

3) Its patchy >>>
Need an emulator on top, resolution is limited, GPS connection is flakey..etc etc. The whole thing relies on how good the emulator is and its never gonna be 100% right.

After years of updating TomTom to the next level and now having a carPC, it was hardto understand that there was more than TT only.

I installed Sygic Drive. and WOW!
- 3x faster, compared to TomTom
- works perfect with my frontend road runner
- better graphics (it took a couple of minutes to get used to it)

So no problems for me anymore with windows mobile emulator.

I am considering buying Sygic Drive but having read this review:
http://www.pocketgpsworld.com/sygicdrive.php
I am reconsidering. I see you have been using the software since May - would you mind telling me your opinion, especially about the routing?
If anyone else can suggest an alternative to TT which I use on a PDA I would appreciate it.
I travel in many places in the world and need as many Country maps as possible available.
TIA

Hi. I'm sitting with the new software - emulator installed and TomTom is very slow.. The emulator works fine.... All PPC software is also working. If I start up Tomtom, it works ok in starting up and then takes forever to open menus ect... which it does after making coffee.... Is there anything I can change to speed this up?... did I do something wrong in the config or installation...?
