TomTom NAVIGATOR 5

After getting lost one time too many for an important meeting, I have decided to get a portable GPS. And because my new phone runs the Pocket PC operating system and supports Bluetooth connections, I went for a TomTom NAVIGATOR 5. It’s extremely small, weights almost nothing, and has the best user interface you can get today. It is not certified yet for the Cingular 8125, but I had no problem installing it and getting where I wanted to go for dinner tonight. Outstanding! Many thanks to Dave and Hugues for recommending the brand.

Two questions:

Are you using the TomTom receiver also, or just the software?

Also, are you using the data package on the phone for this?

Two answers: Both, and yes.

Enjoy!

Can you name 3 things you really like about the system (hardware & software)? Also, if you were to improve on 3 things, what would they be?

Thanks!

Mak,

3 things I like:
- small & lightweight
- very easily paired via Bluetooth
- excellent software user interface

3 things that could be improved:
- a standard connector for charging (micro USB would be best)
- standalone GPS logger (similar to the Sony GPS-CS1)
- longer battery life
