I did hear a rumour that future updates to TomTom5 will allow the software to be used with NAVTEQ maps instead?

That's a rumour I haven't heard then! TomTom have signed an agreement with navteq and it looks like the forthcoming Rider Unit will have either exclusively Navteq map data or possibly a mixture of the two.

As to whether this decsion will subsequently apply to the remainder of the range remains to be seen.

To be honest, I think Tom Tom have done a pretty good job considering.

Almost every piece of software has bugs, Windows and Microsoft are famous for it :-D In anycase, bugs usually occur because either the software authour has not tested a specific configuration (of which there could be literally hundreds) or is under pressure to get the software out as not to disappoint the customers. Most of these bugs are annoyances and not exactly life threatening, but what is the lesser of 2 evils, bugs or software that is months late?

On Tuesday there was a major accident on the M1 and TT5 navigated me around the accident without any hassles. Okay, I was a little late but I can't blame TT for that. Laughing Out Loud

. The point is I did not know the route at all, but TT5 got me there and as long as it can do that, I'm happy.

When Windows 95 came out, there were rumours that Microsoft had deliberately released a beta version so that the users did the testing without realising and when reporting the bugs, microsoft was just filling in the bug reports the testers should have filled in. The bug list was huge. I dont think TT are that bad.
