Question TOMTOM Which 1 to buy

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.

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.
