Not currently, but this could be something a third part might right if enough people were interested? Anybody?

Currently there is no SDK available for the TTM versions. Therefore no such solution is currently possible that would integrate with TomTom. Of course you can keep MSN Messenger running in the background...

Well actually, that was my first reaction, but then I thought why does it have to run via tom, it just needs to:
1) get the gps location (easy enough)
2)Get your location on a map, could use mappoint services, or just the multimap page
3)send this map/limk to your friend or make it viewable on a website
4)Pick up any messages sent back my friend, or posted on website and pop these up over tomtom while you are driving.
Now it may not be integrated like copilot but I think you could reasonable easily emulate all (or most of) the functionaility without touching tomtom, or am I missing something?

No, that would work.

You probably would want to bring GPSGate into the equation so you can do all this while still being able to use the navigation program of your chioce.

On the contrary, that is certainly not the UK experience, the software is extremely unstable and the routes that are produced are unreliable. If my own experience is anything to go by the CoPilot for Smartphone forum is so quiet because we've given up trying to get any resolution from CoPilot and have abandoned the software. |
