Tomtom Navigator 6 For Treo 680 Review
  • GPS receiver is very small, looks very nice. Has its own battery, can be charged using a normal mini-USB connector (look and learn, mr. Palm!)
  • Installing and getting it up and running was very easy.
  • Calculating the route seems a bit faster than my TomTom One, screen redraw however is slower, my guess is that's because of the higher screen resolution; the texts are a bit sharper on the Treo.
  • Seems to draw a lot of power from the Treo's battery, even when not using it! I left the TomTom SD in the Treo, charged the Treo fully in the evening, and in the morning the battery was at about 33%! When I removed the SD card, recharged the Treo, battery usage went back to normal. I should not that I did not enable the blue tooth connection; I only used TomTom to precompute a route.
  • When you don't want to connect to the GPS receiver and therefor don't want to enable bluetooth, you will constantly get a 'do you want to enable bluetooth' dialog, very annoying. I was using TomTom as an offline route planner, but this dialog seriously hampered this.
  • Operation is almost exactly the same as my TomTom One, entering text on the Treo is somewhat easier because of the keyboard.
