GpsPasSion reviews TomTom Navigator 6 North America and concludes that “I like Tom Tom. I like the cleanness of the display and directions. I like that it supports a huge number of languages. I believe that’s one of the reasons they do well in the market for navigation software and stand-alone units. I was disappointed in the problems I’ve had with Tom Tom 6 recognizing maps on my SD card (which Tom Tom 5 had no problem with) and with the lack of Bluetooth stability (also originally a problem with 5 that was fixed by 5.21). I’m also a bit disappointed in the lack of improvements in the maps and was even more concerned by some of the odd routing choices Tom Tom 6 made. There are a lot of improvements in this version, from ease of installation, to the inclusion of door-to-door nation-wide (both U.S. and Canada) routing. When you consider all this, I think you still have to conclude that Tom Tom 6 is a reasonable update to Tom Tom 5. There are enough new features and overall improvements to give the upgrade value and I would expect the minor mechanical glitches I encountered to be improved or corrected soon.”

Map Share IS NOT included in this software. The software consistently routes an incorrect (much longer) route near my home. Customer support says it’s a map error (on a 30 year old MAIN ROAD) No map share = no fix. Dissatisfied.
No returns on open software. No help offered on customer support.

Great blog about the Tomtom Navigator. I will keep reading up on it and I also found some information about the Tomtom GO 920 that was really helpful.

I am using Navigator 4.11 and the Holux GR-230 GPS (palmOne PR-230) on my Zire 72. I have no interest in cell phone compatibilities BUT am interested in newer maps. Does anyone know if Navigator 6 will run on the Zire 72?
