TTN5 doesn't use any hardware keys. But you can have CheckPOInt or other programs running in the background (and assigned to a hardware key) . You may need to use a GPS signal splitter like GPSGate to serve the NMEA data to both applications.

It is not that hard in TT4 - tap screen - Tap "New favourite" - Tap "GPS Position" - it will defallt to a favourite called by the current road name - Tap Done. This takes a couple of seconds - so when you stop driving, go to map, search for the Favorite, click on the map where you think the camera actually is based on this favourite - add that position to the relevant POI file - and name it as what you like. You can then go and tidy up the favourites later.

TT5 should be exactly the same.

Hi I don't mean to turn the "vibe" in this forum topic negative, but has ANYONE actually received their upgrade yet from TomTom???

Mine still states "warehouse" on their site under my tomtom/orders.

Please could someone tell us what the "warehouse" actually means!?!?!
I am thinking... warehouse=5weeks... Rolling Eyes

Also isn't it illeagal to take money from peoples accounts and not ship the goods to customers!?!? Question

Cheers,

use the standard settings - link GPSGate to the receiver, assign a virtual output port, and then point all applications to that port.

I got an e-mail this-morning stating that my upgrad has been dispatched and I could track it on UPS - but when I cut 'n paste TT's tracking ref code onto the UPS site it couldn't trace it!

I trust it's on its way, anyway.

Please correct me if I'm wrong but if I'm after the additional Europe maps, isn't it cheaper to buy TT3 then take the upgrade path for an additional €59 which equates to around £40?

Does anyone know if the upgrade will be available from any other company. The delivery charge seems a bit expensive

Hi guys,
I have received my TOMTOM N 5 upgrade today, in Belgium.
I've ordered it the first of June in the morning, I was waiting on the web site for the upgrade link to be operational.

Now I have to install it and enjoy !!!
