TomTom_S60_3rd.rar

Took little effort to install (need some DOS experience to activate).

Everthings works fine and it pairs with my 3rd patry GPS.

Given the software a road test now:

everything is as before in TTM5 (although obviously clearer and more detailed)
No BT GPS disconnections (unlike N70 & 3rd party BT GPS)
Still no full postcode search (damn!)

The only problem i have with TT is that my position indicator on screen is usually lagging behind where i actually am (not very far off mind but still annoying all the same!). But at the same time the voice instructions are spot on, so maybe its a ram problem or something else regarding the position indicator issue. But i still have 9-10MB of ram spare!! maybe the Retail version doesnt have this problem...
One more thing, when voice instructions are given the map position freezes until the speech has ended! bizarre!

i would still recommend it for now, it better than the other software out there, even with the bugs!

Think i'll try the retail version when it comes out!

Njoy. But make sure you have a car charger, the N80 batt life sucks! :lol:
