User comment on TomTom with PocketPC

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.pocketpc (More info?)

Hi,

I'm looking around for buying an GPS system for my newly purchased Toshiba
e800 (WiFi, not BT). Favourite is TomTom (wired; as I am not going to buy a
BT card). Are there any users here who can give me a feedback how TomTom 3
works on a PocketPC?
I will have to buy several maps. Is it possible to have a route calculation
with border crossing, like e.g. from Germany to France, if both maps are on
the same CF card?
TIA

Browse our site, read the review and lurk in the forums, TomTom's a great
package and v3 comes with with the Major Roads of Europe map (MRE) in
addition to your chosen country map which allows cross border navigation
using major roads. Once in your chosen region you would then switch to the
more detailed country map. You can either buy additional country maps
singly or the Maps of Western Europe package which covers 15 countries to
street level and comes on 9 CD's. If you intend buying more than 2
countries then it is cheaper to buy this package.
