|
Hello,
Sorry if this was discussed before but I could not find anything.
How do I install TomTom Navigator on Garmin Nuvi 300? Is it possible at all?
Thanks. |

| It is not possible, TomTom uses Linux for the PNA or Windows Mobile for PPC, if you want a TomTom go and purchase one it will be easier, or stick with the Garmin - Mike |

Thanks Mike, but what does Garmin Nuvi 300 use as OS?
I know TomTom Navigator can be installed on Windows CE and Windows Mobiles and wondering if Nuvi based on windows. |

| Iliko, why would you even want to do this? Even if you could conceivably install it I would imagine the performance and inherent stability of the hybrid system would be very suboptimal indeed! |

Just was wondering if it is possible or not before buying a GPS device. |

So you haven't bought a gps yet but you're thinking of buying a garmin to hack tomtom onto? Doesn't common sense say that you should just buy a Tomtom? |

Yes common sense says that, but I had a gift voucher for comet which did not have Tomtom. |
