Usually your Cigarette lighter will be ignition-switched these days.

The GPS will only get power when the key is in the ignition. The GPS will not turn off when the ignition is off, but will run on ...

Yes, in this instance you can wire directly if using a TomTom cradle.

The transformer (12v down to 5v) is in the TomTom PDA cradle.

Do NOT do this with any other lead that plugs directly into yo ...

Yep, those photos look great.

Amazing that it still works through the parcelshelf. Whats it made of?
Most seem to be about 6mm plywood, covered in cloth.

Mine's screwed to the top of the parc ...

Also, don't do as I did and put your fuel card near it.

That never worked again. I imagine it'd munch a Visa card too.

I've managed to get two car park tickets to stop working that way too.
You ...

Talking of the Tomtom BT GPS cradle, I spent yesterday afternoon wiring it into a new Vectra.

I'd decided on the rear parcel shelf as a location, but had never got around to finding a easy point to ...

I had this with a Sandisk card.

If you wait an extremely long time, does it come back with the next selection of towns? Try 2-3 minutes!

If so, the card is just running very slow. It probably ...

thedon,

I'm concerned about this too.
Perhaps a small sticker over the LEDs would suffice.

I'm wondering if a small piece of black material stretched over it would affect the signal?

I get that too, and have also resorted to keeping the thing well charged.

When its not too flat, the charger seems to be able to keep it topped up - and on a longer journey the charge light will go ...

A real shame. Sad

I'd have thought that if the technology exists to be able to say
" Call Lutz Bendlin at Home" and for the software to parse this for both name and retrieve the correct number fro ...

Maybe you can sell it to TomTom :D

Refreshing to get some quality freeware that just does its key task really really well.

Please don't be tempted to add lots of features - we don't need it t ...

Ian.

£85 from Argos on the highstreet - not exactly the most rewarding shopping experience (apologies to any argos staff if you're reading this) - but at least it's over fairly quickly!

Incid ...

It's probably not a slow SD card.

It seems several manufacturers make faster 256MB and higher cards.

Panasonic for one - their 64 and 128 cards are 2MB/sec rather than 10MB/sec for the 256 and 5 ...

Anyone found some suitable software for voice input for TomTom??

I'm thinking of being able to press a button, then say something like
"Navigate To..."

Then say "City", and spell out letter b ...

I'm wondering if the Lands End to John o Groats test would actually be mostly about SD speed.

The small ipaq 1940 has a relatively slow 266mhz processor, and yet my times for the route seem so af ...

Sorry hbanzon, I wasnt watching this thread for replies...

I took the TomTom carkit cradle apart. The 1940 wasnt sitting down into it properly.

If you take it apart, you can see that the rather ...
