I have both wayfinder and Tomtom on my P1i and tomtom is excellent.
I'm am using a receiver with the latest 51 channel MTK chipset which is considered far better than sirfstar chipset.

Its accuracy is bang on with no refresh probs.
Big big big bonus with the tomtom is you dont need a GPRS connection unlike wayfinder where if there is a network prob or no GPRS/3g connection you're screwed as even with maps installed wayfinder still needs to connect to calculate route.

Many thanks to all who replied, I see that the topic is still pretty hot ...
I have an Holux 1200 (so MTK 32 channels) that works very fine with the P1i and Nav4all, which has the same "problem" of Wayfinder, i.e. it has to connect via broadband to do everything ...
That's why I want to have something similar to TomTom Navigator 6 and all of its maps installed locally ... after being sure I can stay without any support from TT ...

Interesting... you made me remember one thing:
I'm using bluetooth powersaving and a low baudrate (I think).
Do you think any of these influence the Tom Tom refresh rate?
(I can't test it right now)
Pretty sure the baudrate is the issue. For some reason the UIQ3 phones don't like it when they aren't high enough.

With only 30 active satalites in the sky, and roughly 50% of them hiding on the opposite side of the earth, having 51 channels isn't going to make much of a difference

I use Garmin Mobile 4.10.60 UIQ on my P1. I have Nordic maps but itīs not a problem to find Europe maps. I like this much more than Tomtom.

Hello
Anyone managed to place a Tom Tom ONE or GO Maps on the P1?
The maximum version I managed to place are v6.75 Maps
Current maps are v7.10

The most recent version for tomtom navigator six is still 6.75. as far as i know, one/go/rider maps won't work directly on navigator, whatever the underlying platform.
what you can try is to change the device type in tomtom home to tomtom one, then transfer the maps, then switch the device type back. this works at least when you use a memory card reader.
i need to use this for transferring the most recent rader warning POIs, because those idiots at tomtom did not list the uiq version as compatible in the toc files. grml.
uiq support is unfortunately non-existant from tomtom and getting worse these days.
cheers anyway

I can confirm that it works on the new firmware. In fact it seems much faster. |

Can someone else confirm if tomtom is indeed faster with the latest firmware? On the old firmware it was lagging a lot, I thought, unless I turned all POI off. |

I can't see any differences on Tom Tom performance.
Swiss Mgr reports Tom Tom is using 33% of processor, so I believe refresh slowness must be a software problem, maybe induced to prolong battery life.
