If the Tomtom upgrade includes full maps of Europe then do you also get this if you buy Tomtom 5 at the full price? I have just pre-ordered it from globalpositioningsystems.co.uk. They only mention UK maps in the description on their website.

The issue is most probably the cradle connector. TomTom seem not to support USB GPS receivers. If yourPDA has Bluetooth then it will work fine with a BT GPS.

I don't think TomTom supply serial receivers any more. You can either get the software only version or the one bundled with their new BT receiver (SiRF III based).

But that has not much to do with the original problem in this thread, right?

Thanks you for the review. I tested tomtom navigator 5 myself and I was suprised by some features that where left out or changed:

- Switching to other applications without leaving tomtom isn't possible anymore
- Bluetooth automatic turn on/off can't be disabled
- not possible to navigate via programmable coordinates.

I think that this version is not for geocachers! Crying or Very sad

greetings from The Netherlands

yes, you can switch to other applications, but you need to use a hardware key for that. Press the calendar key and you get to the calendar. from there you can do the other stuff etc.

We also posted a workaround for the navigation to coordinates. Use the ITN files for that.

Will Tom Tom Nav 5 be able to record POI positions with a hardware key like checkpoint does with nav 3... can't seem to see anything about this in the review...If not how do you record new cameras to add to your wonderful database ????
