I see that the above are holding their next meeting in S Wales to be hosted byTomTom...(sending along three people.)

Might not be a bad idea if anybody is around to pop down there, and try and get answers to the many issues that seem to have cropped up since the introduction of TT5 ?

What would you like to be asked?

Bluehagon · #3 (**permalink**) 22-06-2005, 09:27 AM

Why is there such a small list of PDA's that work with TT5? (I have a Dell Axim X5 that works great but not with TT5 so may need to be replaced at my cost)
Why does TT5 not work with Checkpoint?
Do they understand that 1 dissatisfied customer tells at least 10 others?

First off, the install details were not that good...certainly for novices..nowhere did it say that you had to create a 'TomTom' file for access to the Post Code option.....more to come !

Bluehagon i can answer a couple of them:

TomTom will only list PDA's that they have physically tested and find to work well with TomTom, i understand that there are a lot of PDA's out there that will probably work to a degree of user satisfaction but TomTom have to be strict as if they say its compatible with XXXX and then XXXX starts to cause problems (tomtom crashing, bt dropping etc) then TomTom are responsible due to they said its compatible.

TomTom 5 was designed to be multi platform ie same version that runs on the PPC, Palm & GO, this version of TomTom does not need to support checkpoint as there is POI database that can be edited and you can add your own POI like speed camera’s. TomTom stripped TomTom 3 of the less used features so that it could be installed directly via a memory card making it easier and far more attractable to less computer literate people.

As for “Do they understand that 1 dissatisfied customer tells at least 10 others?” TomTom have a really good and popular product that is selling well, there support is hard to get through to and that is most customers complaint against the company, i will pass your comments onto tomtom.
