That is one thing why I dumped TomTom. Well, I'm not ready to dump an expensive gadget till it breaks out on its own. And by that time, I'd like to know already what alternative gadget to buy, so I'm open to suggestions.
I dumped both TomTom and Garmin, because I found that Google Maps on my Android smartphone was so much better:
1. It's free (once you've bought the phone) 2. It updates itself regularly 3. It knows about traffic congestion in real time, and suggests alternative routes if necessary.
Downsides:
1. It uses up your data allowance, so no good for commercial travellers who are on the road all the time. 2. Ituses power, so it's worth connecting the phone to an in-car charger while in use.
I like waze, which google bought about a year ago. Has more features than google-maps, and appeals more to me personally. Similar downsides. -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
