Finally where tomtom can’t deliver on thier promises, another does and for less money smile (still a bit pricey but getting better).

Between navigon with live traffic update & this product, why would anyone waste thier money with tomtom?

I’m still waiting for Apple to allow more bluetooth profile functionality so I can use a bluetooth enabled gps unit with the onboard software.  These units are far more accurate then the embedded chip.
