Hi I'm looking to buy a tomtom bundle for the company i work for, to share between 3 cars. Is there 1 in particular I should get. The main question i have with tomtom go package is can i download the speedcamera software to it or will i need a pda? Also do i need to buy 3 pda/go holders for each car or can i share 1 between 3. And lastly two of the cars are new(ish) audis which means i need to get a re-radating antena so do i need to buy of them or can i share 1 between each car?

"Buy a spare GO holder"?? - You'll be lucky as Tomtom told me they have no plans and I'm hoping some gadgetman will come up with a suitable alternative as I'm not taking mine off every other day for my wife to try new shopping centres.

I was going to recommend the GO because I'm sure the external antennae is basically a new mount with an aerial built in but we have no stock so have been unable to confirm this.

Looks like I'm wrong...sorry. I'd still get the GO,...it uses a suction mount onto the screen so it's not that hard to move between vehicles.

Thx 4 the reply. The go system are you able to add the speed cameras as poi's or add software to do this with the go system or will i need the pda with tomtom installed?

You can add custom POIs (speed cameras etc) and then have TTGO warn you as you approach them.

Right now I'd get the TomTomGo. I just updated our demo model with the new 4.40 update from TomTom then loaded the speed camera databases from PocketGPS.co.uk and it's excellent.
