Can't comment on WayFinder. But I've got a 4GB Memory Stick Duo which is reguarly used for MP4 and MP3 and has the maps of UK and Ireland.
I get the latest speed cameras from PocketGPSWorld who have the whole country covered (updates come from the users themselves, so extremly acurate).
I can choose between one icon saying Speed Camera, or have the full 30 odd icons telling me what type of camera it is and what the speed limit is. Use that with the ogg files from the site and you can get vocal warnings as well!
it only costs £2 a month (or less for the year), or if you don't do long journeys frequently, you can buy the new cameras when you need them.
So if I get this right I just buy Tom Tom Navigator 6 on DVD and load the maps to my 4 Gb Duo Pro?
How much is the PocketGPSWorld sw? and am I correct in understanding that it fully integrates with Tom Tom Navigator or do I have to run the two applications simultaniously?
I will put my wayfinder subscription on my W950

There is no software for PocketGPSWorld, you just download the files from their website and put them in your map folder.

I'm using tom tom with the P990, use it daily and find in so so so much better than wayfinder.. i down loaded the files from this thread some time ago via 'fatreg' post. the only thing i've noticed are the uk maps a old and hence cannot find certain streets...
Can any one post a link where i can obtain updated UK maps?
The only other downside i've found with tom tom is that i originally thought it could search with just the post code, rather than having to type in the post code and street name !? |

@ fatreg
search by postcode??
I select from the menu...navigate to.. address.... postcode then type in the postcode then i'm prompted to select from a list eg fisrt 3 letters of postcode followed with the town in brackets.. once selected the town i'm prompted to type in the street name then i select the street and then propted to type in the house number... then done..
I assume once you type in the postcode you are then prompted for the house number?
am i doing something wrong? |

no thats right but you need a zip.zip file that i've not uploaded yet..
ooops..
ill get onto it now!
EDIT: right click here
unzip and copy the zip file to the root directory wher your tomtom is so ideally on your mem card et voila!

I have searched everywhere but cannot find a solution to a current problem I have.
I'm using TomTom Navigator 6 on a P990i. I originally had a BT GPS that lost signal every few seconds, thus I purchase the Holox BT321. While it now keeps the signal, the map doesn't update for 2-3 seconds at best, thus is practically unusable.
Any ideas? I've update from tomtom 6.020 to 6.21 via TomTom home and this has made no difference. |

@binchie
What BT GPS did you have?
I have a BTQ 815. I just purchased it so I can't see if signal is lost or not. |

Just instaled the new TomTom version and am pleased to confirm it does use less RAM than the first one
