Yeah, TomTom on my Asus A696 GPS really saved my bacon many times on many driving trips in Canada and the USA. It does seem to have the best route-finding, and adjusts routes better on the fly than any other software I've used. One feature I really miss from iGuidance is the ability to change from day to night colors automatically depending on time of day. Also, I wish TomTom had broken down the Canadian map to something smaller than "Canada." When you first load up the list of cities, it takes forever. Some other GPS software has Canada broken down by province. If they added those things to TomTom, it would be perfect.

from my knowledge, sources say that tomtom will be implementing a light sensor based system in their next software that automatically switches day/night views. As for the break down, i think it might take a long time to type in, but with the stupid "distraction" and cell phone ban being put into effect it doesnt matter cuz u should "technically" stop and park before u put in an address

pure rubbish if u ask me

Yeah, I have it turned on. I have no gps setting in the control panel (except external gps). Shouldn;t there be something?

Nope, as far as I know, your GPS should be available to your application. Does GPS work with Google Maps for you? Also, did you try configuring your app to try different ports? I believe the internal GPS is on COM4.
