Description

We left home late to meet relatives at a restaurant, but thanks to the TomTom navigation software, we were provided with quick, clear directions, saving us even more time hunting around for our destination.

Combined with a bluetooth GPS and a Treo 650, this software provides a complete in car navigation system, complete with real-time updated maps and voice driving directions.

In my limited use so far, I've been a little disappointed that the voice instructions haven't been quite enough to figure out exactly which turn/exit to take, but combined with the onscreen info I had no trouble figuring out where to go.

What's really cool about the TomTom software is that if you miss a turn, it quickly recalculates the route based on your new location and direction and gives you the new best directions.

You can also ask it to avoid certain parts of the route, notify you when you are near a gas station or restaurant, and much more.

Tips:

- Make sure you buy the correct version of the TomTom software (one that will run on your Treo 650 PalmOS).

- Make sure you download and install the latest software upgrade from TomTom.com before trying to install this on your Treo 650. Following that tip would have saved me a half hour of wasted effort. (via joe)
