[QUOTE=hyb,Aug 24 2006, 01:26 PM] Got mine today, very happy with it. The Speed camera database is now a pay to download site which kinda sucks, but it only cost

Why use a lighter when you can rub two sticks together eh Mike?
hehe.

True, but a lighter is, what, 10 or 20p these days? It costs more to go for a pi$$.

It's probably just me. I'm as tight as a duck's arse and if I can download a map off the web for free, that's what I'll do.

Its pretty neat though when the road aheads closed or there's a ton of traffic, just take another turning and it'll remap you a new route not using that blocked road.

Good price!

I've had a TomTom One for about 6 months now and love it.

I recently downloaded Version 6 of their firmware off the TomTom website - I imagine you may want to do the same, as they've prob still gover V5.x on them.

TomTom Home allows you to use your PC to plan routes - but its useless as you have to have your unit plugged in and its just an emulator - so you see the same screen, but on your PC. That was a missed opportunity I reckon.

For anyone with a GPS unit (Tomtom or other) this is a great website: Pocket GPS World

And this one has some useful POI files: Old Boy
