palm_treo_tomtom Reader Comments: 12 TomTom 60 delivers a fantastic driving experience... For Palm Treo smartphone users and GPS enthusiasts, Palm, Inc. today announced the Palm GPS Navigator Smartphone Edition, featuring new TomTom NAVIGATOR 6 software. Drivers using the new GPS Navigator with their Treo smartphones can rely on voice-guided, turn-by-turn directions to easily find their destinations as well as millions of points of interest, including gas stations, restaurants, parks, airports and more. TomTom NAVIGATOR 6 is initially available only with Palms GPS Navigator Smartphone Edition. Two weeks ago I was given the opportunity to get some hands on time with the new bundle.. Being a big fan of the Tom Tom Go 300 unit this was going to be a huge upgrade for me since this unit comes with TomTom 6 software. I found this probably the most exciting part of this announcement since TomTom has yet to release the 60 software for any smartphone device.
IMG_0265 Palm TomTom 60 Bundle The packaging of the unit is quite different since Palm now has fully branded this bundle with their own look and feel. Another fantastic feature is that Palm has made the bundle Treo 650, 700p, 700w friendly so now users don't have to look for Palm OS versions as opposed to Windows Mobile Versions.. They have also bundled a mounting bracket, Palm Bluetooth GPS, Dual Charging Cable, USB SD reader and a 1GB SD card with Canada and US maps!
IMG_0270 Palm TomTom 60 Bundle Installation of the TomTom 6 Software was as easy as inserting a SD card. Once the card is inserted the installation process starts. It took us approximately 5 minutes for the entire install to complete and then we selected over the air activation. Fantastic integration with the Treo's EVDO connection making it extremely simple for even beginners.
I would hate to have to rip the device out of the cradle and try to answer the call. I suppose you could put it on speaker, but I use my BT headset while driving all the time.
