Like alot of people i hate motorways and would love one of them tom tom's to help me along. Was just wondering if anyone had got one for their phone, is it any good, where did they get it, and which is the best place to get it from? Ive seen a few on ebay but im a bit confused on what to get, is it best to buy the card and the reciever separte?

When you buy Tomtom Mobile, all the software is supplied on the memory card, along with a bluetooth GPS device. Retail price is around the £200 mark. The deals on Ebay are almost certainly all illegal, so you'll take your chances on buying from there.

In terms of using the product, it works well, replotting the route quite quickly if you miss a turning. You can also add on the speed camera database and have it alert you to any cameras, but I wouldn't depend 100% on that!

Cheers,

Thanks for that link Cyberkid999, that's a pretty helpful site.

Sped, I use TomTom in my Orange SPV M1000 and it works a treat, and as far as I'm aware the versions for the 6680 are OK also, as long as you can cope with the smaller screen size. I also think the later versions of TomTom can make use of your handsets/PDA's GPRS connection to keep maps up to date etc. All in all, a worthwhile program... I can't see the need to fork out for one of the all in one stand-alone TomTom devices when they're supported on other platforms. If you do invest in a 3G handset and the TomTom equipment be sure to let us know how it performs and if it makes use of the 3G data connection.
