Its more of a file installer / transfer than a POI management utility since you have to do all the managing manually within the folders _________________ TomTom Go Live 6100, 600

I couldn’t care less about mp3's etc, I just want a satnav that is lightweight (Velcro is my mount) fits in my pocket (just) and supports 3rd party Poi's with Ogg sound files, a microphone for hands free would be nice.
... and there's the manufacturers' problem.
I couldn't care less about a microphone for hands free, but I really do want an mp3 player.

Were there any hints on when the Company will get the "My Tom Tom" connectivity to actually work?
At the moment the device states “not connected” when Tom Tom says it is, States there are important downloads when apparently there aren’t.
The whole thing seems to be a disaster and no sign of any solution
It all works fine here.
From my expience, admittedly largely from other versions of Home, connection errors are usually caused by random driver errors caused on first connection and can be fixed by removing drivers and reinstalling so I would suggest your error could be PC or 'picnic'. Try another computer to be sure before blaming the software or device as other people are having success.

The confusion arises because different parts of the MyTomTom system give completely conflicting results.
For example on my last "update" (no idea what was actually being done as it gives no details) the My TomTom webpage was saying "Not connected" while the mouse text (if you hovered over the program icon in the system tray) was saying "updating...", as was the Go1000 screen.
After about 5 minutes the My TomTom page decided I *was* connected after all, but then when the process ended according to the webpage, the hover text said "still updating , keep connected, while the Go itself said "you can now disconnect".

Quote:
The statements are looking quite promising and are summarised below:
Latest Map Guarantee and Speed cameras will be available towards end of the year
3rd party Points of Interest will be enabled by end January 2011
Latest Map Guarantee – extended from 30 to 90 days for the GO 100x and Via ranges
Itinerary Planning will be available in Q2 2011, as part of a scheduled feature release
We also quizzed TomTom for some more details on the POI aspect of their announcement so read on to find out what will and won't be available for you.
Has anything changed with the TT and the 1000 series since the November posting? Did they manage to deliver the "latest Map Guarantee and Speed cameras" ?
While I still have a working 920, I'm not intending to buy another Sat Nav Until they add back the 3rd party POI's and Itineraries it wont be a TomTom. _________________ Fraserp TomTom 1000

Quite a few people have received new maps earlier this month so TomTom are making some progress. As for their Speed Camera updates I have no idea as to whether that is working.
Custom POI installation, they have a further 30 days to meet their own January 2011 target date.
Itinerary integration, never been mentioned for the new 1000/ 1005 or Via devices so I very much doubt that will get added to these devices, I have never considered the Itinerary Planning option fully integrated on any TomTom that does support it, it always had a feel of being developed elsewhere and bolted in to the main code, even the menu colour scheme stood out like a sore thumb when you entered itinerary mode - Mike

Is this not the same thing? Is it not possible to set up a route and save it on the new devices as you can on earlier TT units? Do other satnav products allow route planning? _________________ Fraserp TomTom 1000

Yes, you're right 'fraserp', Mike's mistaken on that point.
He's right about how the Itinerary functionality always feels like a later "bolt-on" that was never properly finished though!

Not currently. It's all part of TomTom's mad desire to "simplify" everything.

I certainly think so... A quick Google came up with this quote back in 2006 from a Garmin Streetpilot review...
Quote:
Both units let you create and save routes with multiple via points. On the Garmin, they're called "Saved Routes". On the TomTom, they're called "Itineraries".
surely Garmin wouldn't be so stupid to remove the feature as well as TT?
Following on from this I was in Tamworth area today, and on the m42 I went through some average speed cameras, between junction 9 and 10, I thought on the 1000 that mobile speed cameras were updated over the air.. They never came up on mine and if have a subscription should these not come up on their database.
I bet they are on the pgws database. I will be glad to get that back as you do miss it and with Tom Tom as the only source its so annoying.
I will be looking forward how pois will be added onto the 1000 with not being able to get into the route directory anymore.
