It's on e-bay. It says it's a Tom Tom. Any ideas what it is?

half way down the tediously long & boring ad:

"This product is similar to a Tomtom model, which costs GBP 129 more"

PS sorry for being the second poster & therefore getting this bloody google thing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Missed that bit. Still don't know what it is though, and if you go right to the bottom it is offering "optional" gps software and maps!

They are keyword spammimg by putting TomTom in the tittle. I once got an auction thrown off ebay for a much more insignificant keyword spam. Someone should report it as it could seriously mislead someone.

Looks like the first one has...

My main suspicion is the two photos showing "Speed Alert 650 Yards" and "Speed Alert 100 Yards" when the car clearly hasn't moved between shots. Obvious Photoshop...

And whos database?

And now the second one has.

I hate net cops but I wouldn't want someone to spend good money thinking they were buying a Tomtom only to get a brand that nobody knows anything about.

It's Gate5, the same software that Road Angel use on their device.

As a basic GPS Nav solution GATE5 is OK but it is VERY basic.
