So I'm thinking of springing for the TomTom 5 upgrade as it's pretty cheap and now includes the european maps.

Question: Does anyone know if it works on Pocket PC (i.e. pre 2002)? Version 3 certainly does, but my Jornada 568 (ARM-based) is no longer on their list of tested models. (Pity, TomTom really rattles along on it...)

Another Question: has anyone else here got the magmount wired GPS that TomTom sell? If so, where did you put it? Outside on the roof, or inside on the dash? Mine's on the dash, but as soon as tall buildings are around, its inability to see the rear half of the sky sees it lose its lock. Which is irritating in central London...

Cheers, --Chris

I'd be cheesed off to find that TT5 couldn't find the GPS that TomTom ship in the wired bundle!

Maybe I'll hold off until I can find reports on the web of success... or otherwise. Really would be a major bummer if it doesn't work - not sure I can now get European maps for TT3.

Or maybe I'll see if I can find a hooky version to test with before parting with the cash (I actually think it's worth the money, see...)
