Hope this is allowed to be asked here if not please remove,i have a tomtom one and an old Navman icn 520 as my wife is now doing more miles than me i have given her the TomTom. I have started using the Navman and find it no where near as good ,is it possible to get TomTom installed on the Navman as it is so much better.

It is possible, but you will need to unlock the device back to the Win CE desktop and install a copy of TomTom Navigator 6 which will require the purchase of a suitable map, the cost involved in purchacing an out of date map (circs 2 years old) simply isn't worth the hassle, you would be better off going and purchasing a TomTom ONE which is supplied with far more recent maps, it is also a far more capable GPS receiver when compared to the Navman 520 - Mike
