Hi Ed,
Tomtom mobile cannot be purchased individually, you have to buy it as a kit
with Tomtom's own GPS. Even if you aquired a copy of the software, it is
really REALLY fussy about which GPS's it will work with. Basically, it's a
complete nightmare! Route 66 however is a much easier option. It can be
bought as software only without needing a proprietry GPS. I have used both
Tomtom and Route 66 on my Nokia 6600 and have to say that Route 66 is
better. The screen layout is very uncluttered and easy to read. Tomtom is
better suited to Pocket PC's. I bought a Polstar Bluetooth GPS from a guy on
eBay for about £70. It is quite basic in technology terms but runs off three
rechargeable AAA's, is very very tiny and aquires satellites very quickly. I
can place it anywhere on my dashboard and it works very well.
Hope this helps

Ade
