Tomtom Navigator 2004

Pros: Easy to use. Great 3D Maps. Not tied to any specific hardware

Cons: Can not customize menus - few user options for screen layout

The Bottom Line: IF you want hardware independent, low cost, feature rich, street based navigation software this is it. I strongly recommend TomTom Navigator 5 software

Review: GPS is the modern day equivalent of the blinking 12:00 on early VCR, ether you understand it or you do not. Many people misjudge the software because they do not understand GPS. I have been in the GPS field since the very early days when only the ...

Pros: Beautiful & intuitive GUI, clear & loud instructions

Cons: Dumb keyboard (A,B,C), voice not say street names, no map stitching

The Bottom Line: Tough to say dude: a few "hits" and many "misses" makes it a dissapointing choice, however, it works well...

Review: ;-) Please see updates at end, thank you/merci!! I have owned the TomTom 2004 Navigation software for 1 month now; following is my humble assessment of it. In my professional life, I am a management consultant (working in the software development ...

Pros: Seems like a neet device. Other people who have it working say it's really nice.

Cons: This is an excellent example of doing absolutely everything wrong from the first step.

The Bottom Line: It might be a fine product, once I get it working. I will avoid buying from this company in the future.

Review: I received a TomTom Navigator 5 as a gift three days ago. I attempted to install it yesterday, and had a problem with the install, including rebooting my computer, and also rebooting my Treo 650 two or three times. Once I did get it installed, it asked ...

Pros: price and the fact that it works with the Palm Tungsten E2... good price

Cons: can't use single maps that work together even though the states are contiguous in reality

Review: All in all ok for the Palm Tungsten E2... I am most frustrated by the fact that you can't select single maps or even regional maps that even though contiguous in real life the program will not allow the device to follow from one map to the next... you ...

Pros: OK if you already know your route Large keyboard buttons Great marketing

Cons: Segmented (non)routing Can't route you in many, many, many situations POI mostly unusable

The Bottom Line: Get a dedicated Magellan or Garmin unit, or if you want a PDA unit and don't mind using a stylus to enter addresses, the ALK CoPilot.

Review: I used the Hertz Neverlost system by Magellan on a week-long trip, and later a borrowed Garmin 2610 on a two-day trip, both which made navigating so easy I knew I had to get one for myself. While different, both basically had many common-sense features ...

Pros: None

Cons: Complicated user hostile product activation. Poor customer support.

The Bottom Line: Do not buy TomTom Navigator. Product activation is a nighmare, it is buggy, destructive, and has no user friendly customer support.

Review: Do not buy TomTom Navigator. Product activation is a nighmare, it is buggy, destructive, and has no user friendly customer support. I have two copies, the original, and a replacement from my retailer. Neither will activate. When installing TomTom it ...
