Hi All great forum,
Really fantastic the things you can find on this forum.
It's helped me out alot being first time GPS user with a Tomtom v2.
My main question is I have a secondary map installed for another country - USA/Canada and even though I can preplan itineraries & browse maps etc.
Even found the hotels in the rockies - b****y brilliant I say.
The GPS will not do a route, why does it need a GPS fix to route and is there any way to bypass by putting a dummy start / Home position?
Otherwise everythings working really great thanks to this forum,
1.Upgraded australian maps to a 2Gb Sandisk UltraII card
+
2. Installed the USA/Canada maps
+
3. Tripmaster 1.7b (Works super, very minor issue is the installation I had to manualy to install the folders to the sd card)
-MEMORY -
I had no issues what so ever - either via card reader or through Tom Tom it self. Tomtom home even thinks the card reader is a TOMTOM with the memory chip in and will upgrade it after it is configured on the tomtom!
I think that some people are having issues with memory as there is a lot of fake memory on e-bay that looks like sandisk etc. - but believe me it doesn't work like it, I had to return one previousely, even though it worked - the give away was the true read/write performance compared with the genuine article.
Anyone know the read write specs for a ONE ? as the Australian SD memory map it came on is slower than the UltraII yet I didn't notice any speed difference is use? If we used a Ultra III or a x130 would it make any difference as? as the controller in the ONE may be the bottleneck.
-TomTom request-
Wouldn't it be nice to have a plug in carpower & arial connection in one.
(Technicaly it's a challange having both connections next to each other due to electrical interferance)
I'm glad I chose the TOMTOM ONE as they makes a very profesional product, works really well and no wonder they have 50% of the eurpean market!
Keep up the good work on the forum people
