I've read through all the bunff on TT5, am I right in thinking that we can't download an update because the whole program comes on an SD card. See link below,

sorry, and click on Installation poster (PDA) on the left hand side.

There should be an edit function on these Forum entries.

Hm, after three days TomTom still hasn't responded to my pre-sales questions. This is a bad sign.

No idea if 5 is out for USA, and whether they have Canada (BC)? Also need to know whether the images are grainy on a (high-rez) Ipaq 4700? Whether it in fact runs on the 4700 at all? And whether they have a topo app?

Are they chronically non-responsive?

In the TT upgrade pages it says that no FS PDA's are supported. I've got TT3 on my PL600 - why won't TT% work on it? Anybody got any ideas?

Hey I really like the new "navigate to POI" function that actually shows whether the petrol station you choose is en-route or a detour of 20 miles when you are running on fumes!

Nice one :D

About the USA version of Navigator 5: To TomTom support:

Q. I have noticed there are Navigator 5 upgrades available for the European community. Has the upgrade to the USA version been set back?

A. The upgrade to Navigator 5 was pushed back to June 18th, 2005.

Q. What will the upgrade policy be for those upgrading from Navigator 4 to Navigator 5?

A. The window for upgrading for free has been extended to 90 days. If you are registered on our website, you will receive an e-mail notifying you of the upgrade. If you have purchased Navigator 2004 you will receive Navigator 5 for free. If you were one of the many who receive a free upgrade to Navigator 2004, the cost of the upgrade will be $49.00 plus shipping and handling.

Q. Will the upgrade be a download and use the old Maps or a new set of CDs?

A. With the upgrade, you will receive a new set of software CDs with updates maps and application.

The only good thing about buying Navigator 4 is the fact it is a free upgrade. The Navigator 4 application must have been a test bed for Nav 5 because it is even more limited than this newer version. I have never used Ver 3 but from what I have read it is to bad you can't use the new maps with it. Since my first experience was with Nav 4, Nav 5 is going to be a far cry better than what I had as far as functionality.

How long is the upgrade offer likely to last do you think? I'm interested in buying it but 2 things make me hesitate:

1. An imminent visit (work related) to China (2 weeks tomorrow) means I won't be around to receive delivery if it does not arrive before I go.

2. (And probably more importantly) I'd like to give the upgrade time to "bed-in" before shelling out & overwriting software that presently works reasonably OK (albeit with some dodgy mapping!).

TIA
