Product Description
NAV6 software only (maps of US and Canada on DVD)

Amazon.com Product Description
With the TomTom Navigator 6 Software with Maps of the US and Canada (DVD) you never need to be lost again, wherever you are, whatever you are doing. TomTom's Navigator 6 software is designed for people who already own a PDA with GPS functionality, or a PDA with Bluetooth and a separate Bluetooth GPS receiver. This package provides all the Navigator 6 software with maps of the complete US and Canada on a DVD, which once installed on your PDA will let you know not only where you are going, but exactly how best to get there.

The TomTom Navigator 6 software is not only effortless to install, but easy to use with a touch-screen user menu that gives you an intuitive navigation experience, and an inherent portability that lets you take it with you anywhere, whether in your car, on your bike, or on foot. The TomTom Navigator 6 software has complete maps of the United States, including Hawaii, Alaska and Puerto Rico, as well as all the Canadian provinces. This software gives you the convenience of thousands of pre-installed Points of Interest from restaurants to gas stations, allowing you to search by proximity to your current location, along your route, near a specific city and more, as well as letting you plan your route to fit your requirements, be they quickest, shortest, avoiding toll roads, or many others.

Navigator 6 not only guides you from door to door, but can navigate directly to contacts from your PDA address book, complete with stopovers and itinerary planning for routing to multiple destinations while adding stopping points. The user-friendly interface features a tip system for when you are just getting started, an optional compass display, and the ability to show a route demonstration so you can better know what things are going to look like in advance.

TomTom's Navigator 6 system provides you with crystal clear 2D or 3D graphics, in a brilliant 65,000 colors and "Nightview" for optimized visibility. This navigation system includes realistic visual instructions that replicate road signs to make them easier to follow, and a pedestrian-centric map option that lets you view your position with a fixed position in 2D that can be zoomed in and out for better orientation when you are navigating on foot. Navigator 6 features friendly north-up navigation for easier orientation, automatic route recalculation if a user takes a wrong turn, and auto-scaling software so it will fit any PDA screen. Suitable for almost anybody, the user interface application comes with support for some 22 languages covering virtually all of Europe from Turkish to Flemish, Lithuanian to Catalan, while the spoken directions come in 37 different languages that include with the European languages such options as Chinese, Thai, Japanese and more.

Full of smart extras and additional options, the TomTom Navigator 6 system includes TomTom Home software to manage all the files on your device, get new updates on your PC or Mac in advance, and more, as well as supporting a wide range of TomTom Plus services and downloads. TomTom Plus lets you receive real-time, up-to-the-minute traffic information, with jam alerts and road condition warnings, as well as use instant messaging and more to keep in touch with a selected group of people, including tracking their location. TomTom Plus is an optional, cost-based service that can be accessed through Navigator 6 at any time.

Designed to be ultimately safe, Navigator 6 software provides for easy call handling for PDAs with calling functionality, with on-screen instructions that remain visible while making phone calls or receiving SMS messages, as well as the ability to dial a point of interest. The navigation system not only encourages you to get from A to B as safely as possible, but alerts you to when you are speeding, even if you are not in navigation mode. The TomTom Navigator 6 software is compatible with most popular brands and models of PDAs, including; Acer, Dell, Eten, Fujitsu Siemens, HP, Imate, O2, Orange, Palm Treo, Qtek, T-Mobile, and Nokia.

5 out of 5 stars Tom Tom Navigator 6 Software   May 2, 2008
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

Prior to purchase I read many reviews that said the Tom Tom software was hard to install. To address this point, I installed this product without the use of the instructions that came with the product. So, I guess it isn't that hard to install. For a generic software, designed to work on a number of different phones, PDA's, ect. I am very impressed with the complexity and accuracy of the software. It is loaded with too many features to mention and very easy to use. Worth every penny, Chas.


1 out of 5 stars Nice but horrible customer service from TomTom.   January 18, 2008

5 out of 5 stars Great addition to my phone   January 7, 2008
 4 out of 4 found this review helpful

I purchased TomTom with a 6Gb micro SDHC card for my Glofiish X500+ phone. The program with all the maps of all of North America took up almost 1Gb of space, which left me with just under 5Gb of usable space for applications, games, MP3's, and video's. TomTom 6 really is great and so far has been spot on with directions. Probably the best addition I've added onto my phone. No complaints as of yet.


4 out of 5 stars Pleasantly surprised   December 13, 2007
 5 out of 5 found this review helpful

I had read several conflicting reviews about TomTom Navigator 6 (TTN6) and was slightly worried about purchasing, especially as there was no way to trial the product.

Glad to say I needn't have worried.

The product was received within 2 days of ordering, and came in an impressive box with a quick start guide, instructions, DVD and registration card.

After buying a suitable 2gb microSD card, I got through the install on my elderly (2 years old) Dopod838pro (Cingulaer 8525, HTC TyTn) with no problems. TomTom home instals on your desktop and is quite a useful application to manage the contents on your phone (maps, voices, etc)

I had been using another type of navigation software (Mapking) and TTN6 seems to be faster and more stable. Its immediately apparent in the screen refresh rate.

The roadsigns appearing as they do on the freeways are extremely useful.

I was deciding between this product and CoPilot Live 7, which looked more impressive from a screen eye candy point of view, but after using TTN6 for a few days, I find its screen layout very easy to use, not flashy in any way, just very functional and well thought out.

Routing wise, I have only tried it in unfamiliar areas, so can't comment on how "smart" the routing is, but I can say I have never been dragged zig zag through small housing estates or asked continually to "u-turn" ahead after making a mistake and going off route.

Mentioning the off route capability, it really is an instant reroute, you hardly even notice anything happened.

There are cheaper options out there, as well as more expensive ones, but TTN6 for me seems to be just right.

I hope others have the same pleasant experience with it

Would have given 5 stars if there was an option to try first (would even have been willing to pay a small fee to trial it)



2 out of 5 stars Doesn't include the gps receiver   December 13, 2007
 2 out of 19 found this review helpful

I purchased this as well as a cradle to install on my Palm Treo. Unfortunately, I didn't read everything closely. Had I been more aware of the fine print I would have realized that this was the software only. GPS receiver NOT included. I ended up returning the software.

I suspect that if you are in need of an update to your maps, then this is the product for you. If you are looking to have the whole system, make sure you get all the pieces you need. If you are buying this for a Palm Treo, I recommed buying directly from the Palm Website. The whole package offered directly from the Palm website includes the software, the gps receiver and the cradle for less $ than if you buy all the components independantly from Amazon. Additionaly, you know that it will work with your palm product.
