You see I can&#8217;t just use it, I need to play with it and that means in ways never intended.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nI 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&#8217;d recommend it to virtually all my friends and family. It did suffer however one major disadvantage&#8230; it really lacked tinkerability!!<br \/>\nSo back it went and in it&#8217;s place I upgraded to the TomTom One XL giving nearly unlimited flash memory capacity and Internet connectivity via Bluetooth Dial-Up Networking (DUN).<br \/>\n<br \/>\nTomTom 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!!).<br \/>\n<br \/>\nUntil next time, keep on tinkering! &#8230;Robert \ud83d\ude42","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As an avid enthusiast of technical gadgets this new addition to my life is likely to be both a blessing and a burden!
