If I have had Tomtom running on a XDA will it work on any Windows CE device?
Just need to know before I buy one

Thanks

Not necessarily. Windows CE is the operating system, which includes the Pocket PC (aka Windows Mobile) platform that runs your XDA. However there are some Windows CE systems (such as some dedicated navigation devices) which are configured differently and don't enough included to allow them to run Pocket PC applications.

So the proper answer is that as long as you stick with a Pocket PC device you should be OK. I don't know what version of TomTom you have, so check that for compatibility too - some old versions of apps don't work on the very latest versions of Pocket PC / Windows Mobile.

TomTom has quite a comprehensive list of devices they support somewhere on their website.

Watch our for OEM phones though, the list didn't specifically mention the Orange M600, but fortunately I spotted the model its actually based upon.
