Can I give it negative stars?
I actually have no idea how it works on my Palm Treo 680, I was never able to get that far. I installed the software to my Windows XP desktop and it: would not allow me to install the Palm software (no device found), ran my CPU at 100% and refused to let go or be terminated. And then crashed my computer. On reboot, I discovered that it’s autostarting, sucking 100% of my CPU, won’t let go, won’t terminate, and as soon as I opened the UI it crashed my computer.

I have had a few different GPSs in the past and this one out performs all of them. It is very convenient to have it on my PDA which I have with me all the time anyway and I works great having the entire US on one map.
I love it.

I recently bought the TomTom Navigator 6 SW with Maps of the US and Canada, and the TomTom Bluetooh GPS receiver.
The receiver works very well — charge it up, hit the power button and that’s it.
The maps are a bit of a disappointment: it could not navigate me home! It tries to take me down a street whose northen and southern sections do not connect. This street has been like that since before I moved into the area almost 20 years ago. This may be the only street it screws up on, but it happens to be one I checked.
The SW that loads onto a PDA could be better. For example, I can enter a “favorite” by street address. Once I have done that, the “Manage Favorites” menu won’t tell me what address I had entered. So one cannot confirm that it is correct, nor try to edit it. If I need to read the manul to do this, then the interface is not very good!
The overall impression is still positive. The system generally functions well and usually takes me in a logical path from here to there.

Tomtom maps and application is not a reliable product that you can count on when you are traveling and do not have access to your PC and the disks. This is the second time that the application has stranded me and I am writing this review for others interested in purchasing this program not to get in a situation like I have, and Tomtom staff to read and fix the problem.
I purchased a Tomtom with an HP PDA to travel through Europe (mostly Italy). I installed the software and got an authentication code from the site they specified and started using the device. After about a month of use, and feeling confident that I did not need a paper map, we took a trip to Florence, following Tomtom’s direction. After about 20 minutes, the program froze. It would not even respond to a soft reset. I had to take the battery out to get windows CE up and running. After the operating system restarted, I started Tomtom program. It asked me for an activation code. Have in mind that I am in the middle of Italian countryside and not sitting in Silicon Valley. I had to call my office and they went to my office and found the original CD’s, went to the authentication site and got the activation code. I found this to be just unreasonably senseless. I appreciate copy right protection, but the people who thought of this scheme must not go out of the office much. I thought of writing a review but did not and latter forgot about it.
I recently bought a cell phone/PDA that has a built in GPS. To avoid having a phone and GPS I tried installing the European map on this phone (it already had the US maps on it). I went through the installation which took for ever and went to the website and got the activation code and tried entering it and it says that the activation code is not valid! So, I call Tomtom support in UK from Germany. The first customer service person was very nice and gave me some advice on how to get an update. I followed the advice and it still did not work. I called the support line again, this time a Mr. Rick answered. This person needs to be assigned to a different department. He basically spent 30 minutes lecturing me on software copy protection. He then asked me to do a hard reset. I told him I did not know how to do the hard reset. He spent another 10 minutes telling me that he is not an HP specialist and that I need to contact HP for support. At this point, I realized that this person was not able to help resolve the problem and asked for escalation to a supervisor. Rick (customer service rep) said that the supervisor would not take my call because I did not do what he was telling me to do (which was not exactly true, because I asked him to help me with the reset and he would not).
I got off the phone and went to the HP site and downloaded the user’s manual and did a hard reset. This caused everything to be erased (including my addresses), and Tomtom program to be deleted. And guess what, I call the customer service number again, and they did not know what to do. So, they asked for more time to research the problem and to call me. In about 4 hours not having heard from them, I called again, and this time they told me to download another program that would resolve the problem. I downloaded and it did not solve the problem. I got an email a couple of hours latter telling me to use the original SD card (which is back home) to resolve the problem.
So, to make a long story short, this is not a reliable device and for anyone who has traveled in unknown places, it is a nightmare.

This product simply does not work on either the Treo 700p or the Treo 700w, despite any claims that TomTom makes to the contrary. (The box lists both of these as supported models.)
Let me preface my review by saying that I write software for Treo phones for a living, so I know these phones inside and out. However, that knowledge did not help me get this GPS to work.
I was excited to receive this GPS as a Christmas gift. However, when I installed the software on my Treo 700p, the installer displayed a message that this was an incompatible device. The 700p is listed on the box as a supported device, so this didn’t make any sense. I tried updating the ROM on my 700p to the latest 1.10 ROM that is available from Palm, and that did not help. I also downloaded an update for the TomTom software for the Treo 680 (available on Palm’s site). That did not help either.
After messing around with this and searching the web for 2-3 hours, I gave up and started over on my Treo 700w, which is also listed as supported on the box.
This time, the software installed and looked like it was working except that it couldn’t detect the GPS. I followed the instructions very carefully for pairing the Bluetooth connection and setting up a COM port to communicate. (By the way, this process is ridiculously difficult for the average customer, but it is doable.) I tried several different COM ports and configuration options, and nothing worked. I was following word-for-word the instructions on TomTom’s website.
I tried to contact TomTom at one point, but their website thwarted me. First, their website was ridiculously slow, taking up to 5 minutes to load each page. Next, you have to create an account to submit a support question. That seems like overkill, but I did so. Finally, once you find the support page (which is well-hidden), if you type too much in your support question, you get an error message that tells you to press the Back button and update your question. When I pressed the back button, I was upset to find that it had lost everything I had written.
At this point, I gave up, and I am asking the gift-giver to return this awful product for something that works.
I have used TomTom stand-alone GPS units in the past and really liked them. But this experience has really soured me on the brand.
