Any real reason the smallest one (on sale for 149.00) should not do
her well. I know the bigger one has a bigger screen, and the big one
you can add a SD card. We might do one or two big trips a year, but
mostly around the tri state area maybe 100 miles max when we do take
off somewhere. Anyway, any comments, what should I know, how do I hook
it up... arrrrrrgh? Is the one I got adequate?
Thanks. justwait

The TomTom One? It's great - same one I have.

Just when you update it, make sure you use TomTom Home 2, not Home 1
which came with the GPS. Install TomTom Home 1, then upgrade it, then
update the latest sat data.

It's pretty simple.


So how do I upgrade to tom tom 2?? I guess I am less than simple

===============

Tom is talking about the software......TomTom Home 2, not the unit TomTom
One. Upgrade your software to TomTom Home Two.




Speaking of software, I actually got through to Garmin yesterday to
discuss a minor software glitch I discovered (I am sure others have,
too) on MapSource. According to Garmin, yesterday, the day after Xmas,
is always the busiest day of the year for its tech department because
of...well, you can figure that out.

Spoke with a tech at Garmin's facility in Liberty, MO. Not Bangladore.
