Customer Review: TomTom Navigator 5 - Worth the Trouble for True Techies
The is a great product. It works beautifully with my Dell Axim x51v and a third party Bluetooth GPS locator. One of the best things about the TomTom Navigator 5 is that you can get real-time traffic updates through a bluetooth cell phone. It will even route you around traffic problems. To me real-tim traffic updates were on important factor in my decision and this one seems to have the best traffic system on the market. While TomTom Traffic is free (at least for now) you will need to pay for a decent cell phone data plan. I use Cingular and pay $20 a month for unlimited data.

On the downside, I must tell you that it takes lots of patience to install the software. And, it takes near saint-like patience to make it work with a cell phone. (I would never have been able to do it if it were not for the instructions found on sites like Aximsite.com) I nearly gave up. But, it was worth the trouble.

I am in sales and the TomTom Navigator 5 makes life so much easier. If you are considering a PDA, this makes more sense to me than buying a GPS-only device.
Customer Review: Map Activation? For a product I purchased?
The TomTom Navigator is a nice enough device, until you get to the Maps activation. The Maps activation? Why should I have to activate my maps if I have paid for the product? Good question, well, I activated these maps on one PDA, and within 2 weeks my PDA died and I had to obtain warranty service. Well, I decided that I would upgrade to a new device and then sell my old device when I got it back from the manufacturers (I tend to switch my PDA every 3-4 months anyway).

So I installed the maps on the new device and it asked me to activate. OK, I figure...no problem, I will be able to activate it 1...2...3 because after all, only I have the activation card/code. No such luck, TomTom wants PROOF that I have brought a new device? what kind of nonsense is that? What if I lost my PDA in 2-3 months? What if I'm a nut who likes to change PDA's every 3-4 months? What, you mean I have to show you proof that I switched? Isn't the fact that I have the activation card proof enough? I don't know too many people who pay $269 for a product and let other people use the activation codes.

Avoid them at all costs. You will regret your purchase if you change devices frequently.

One other problem with this product...out of the box it is not 100% compatible with Windows Mobile 5 devices (most of the new Axims are WM5. You really have to break your back to install on these devices.
