TomTom Start Classic

Do we yet know if the TomTom Start Classic to be released on 21 October 2011 will be able to use the PGPSW camera database.

Have you got a link for details about it? I can't see it mentioned on the UK TomTom website.

Normally, whenever TomTom release a "Classic" edition, it's to bring back the original version which had been superseded by an "improved" model (that was usually worse!)
However, the original Start (Regional) is still being sold alongside the Start2, so I don't know how a Classic would differ from the original!

As for using the PGPSW database, that depends on
1. the ability to add third-party POI files, and
2. having an audible "warn when near POI" feature

Out of the box, the Start and the Start2 models couldn't do these, but the compatibility chart on the database download page says.....

As usual the TomTom website is behind everyone else!

But hang on.... That Amazon one just looks like the normal "Start" to me (which is still available on the TT website).

So I think TT have got a load of old stock (remember we have the Start, the Start2 AND the Start20 and 25 now) and they have now offloaded some of them onto Amazon,

And Amazon have taken it on themselves to call it the "Classic" and give it a "launch date" to drum up some interest.
(It wouldn't be the first time!)
