One GPS used with TomTom Home on two computers?

I have a One 140S. I have a destop P/C in an upstairs office, and a laptop in my family room. I did not understand how TomTom Home worked at first, but now that I see it writes and stores files to my C drive, I am wondering if it is a bad practice to try to use more than one P/C with a single TomTom unit. If I do am I asking for trouble?

If your two PCs are networked you can be just fine. If not, buy a wireless router and network them. Share the folder that TomTom Home writes into on your desktop and map that folder to a drive letter on your laptop. Setup Home on your laptop to write to that drive letter. This assumes that your desktop is always on.

Tomtom stores a copy of downloads (applications, maps, etc) for quick re-installation.

I don't think it stores files needed for normal operation, so you should be fine on either computer.

 
Americans, do you want to have to throw away all your existing GPS devices, and be forced to buy newer more expensive ones? If not, contact Congress and the FCC, see here.
