 With TomToms latest GO 1000 LIVE hitting the shelves this week, the issue of third party POI support is one concerns many potential customers.
As we have reported previously, TomToms GO 1000 and their new XL replacement, the VIA, do not support the installation or use of third party POIs or POI.
This is understandably considered a major issue, many satnav owners use third party POI databases and it has always been a cornerstone of TomToms products that they support third party POIs. So it came as a shock to discover that their latest premium model range would not offer such support.
We had the opportunity to raise this issue directly when we spoke with Mark Gretton, TomToms CTO yesterday. He apologised for the problem arising and went on to re-assure us that TomTom continued to recognise the importance of third party POI data and more importantly, the value that supporting such services brought to their products.
