As an avid enthusiast of technical gadgets this new addition to my life is likely to be both a blessing and a burden! You see I can't just use it, I need to play with it and that means in ways never intended.I first purchased the TomTom One V3 thinking that it would suit my needs. I used it for a day and found it to be informative, accurate and a joy to use. I'd recommend it to virtually all my friends and family. It did suffer however one major disadvantage... it really lacked tinkerability!!
So back it went and in it's place I upgraded to the TomTom One XL giving nearly unlimited flash memory capacity and Internet connectivity via Bluetooth Dial-Up Networking (DUN).
TomTom devices are well supported in the Open Source community with lots of projects out there getting them to do things other than replace your street directory. So here is a new blog dedicated just to tinkering with my TomTom (sounds a bit rude really!!).
Until next time, keep on tinkering! ...Robert
