Palm GPS Kit vs. TomTom Navigator 5

I'm quite confused by the availability of both the Palm GPS kit and the TomTom Navigator 5 system. The only noticeable differences I can see from browsing reviews are the Palm kit has a hockey puck style receiver, while the Navigator is a candy bar style; and, the Palm kit is quite a bit cheaper.

I have a Palm TX, which has Bluetooth. I wouldn't mind saving money by going with the Palm kit, but I don't want to miss out on features that might be only on the Navigator 5 system. Can someone break down the differences for me?

I don't know the differences but I bought the palm gps reciever, it works very well. I upgraded to Nav5 since, which also works well (although I messed up the installation and haven't got round to sorting it out) That's the hockey puck receive. I also use the recieve with Fugawi maps on the Palm and laptop PC

There is a confusion between Palm Tom Tom and TomTom Nav5 which I find difficult when looking for support.

Worth checking. I'd be surprised if the Palm package wasn't the Nav5 software by now.

It is the Nav v5 with a Puck sized GPS receiver. Works very well on my Palm TX. It was cheaper than a GO and I got the Palm as well - what more do you want...
