Last time! TT is NOT recommended for WinCE.

OK Keep your hair on, so why does fatboyfun say it is in his guide, as when you as a Q you get a reply with a link to his guide??
looks like his guide needs updating

Welshy,
I've been doing GPS modding for quite a few years now. I think that I know what I'm talking about. TT will work on WinCE but it is only a basic program with NO extras and plus you have to go through many irritating things to get to the program. Igo is recommended. Try my program in the above post. FBF knows what he is saying but we all require a little help now and then.

The X-Series Binatone has issues with it's ROM meaning sometimes getting other software to work can be frustrating, sometimes nothing works, sometimes Tomtom works and iGO doesn't or vice-versa, sometimes both work.

But you can always flash another ROM...

Ok going to try chas521 software, will download it all onto a card and try it do i need the shell and binatone memory fix that i downloaded yesterday when i tried igo 8 or does your download contain all the files i need to run igo8 on binatone
regards welshy

From xtyler92:

TomTom

Here is where Europe gets the edge and North America gets the shaft. TomTom is great (from what I have heard) in Europe. Now, the functionality of TomTom will depend on which build you are using. For my test purposes I used a PDA version of the software that did not have TTS. I found the lack of TTS to be a downfall, however I have read that with the right build TTS does work. As for routing, in the US I found it to be no better than the old MioMap 3.3 software that came on my devices. This is not a good thing since the routing is pretty bad. Now, in Europe I hear the opposite. Routing there is comparable to garmin XT in the US. So I guess NA has garmin, where TomTom has Europe. Now, if it were me I would base my decision on this software based on where I live. In the US or Canada, I would say skip it since routing is better with the previous softwares I mentioned. In Europe I would look at TomTom as a must have since routing is decent and maps are updated frequently.

TomTom Ratings (based on my Opinion)

Routing- 4 in Europe (2 in North America)
Functionality- 3 (depends on the version and most versions lose some functionality when put on a device other than a TomTom device)
Appearance- 1 (much like Garmin XT it is just ugly)
Installation- 2 (needs a keygen and you have to use the keygen everytime you update the maps.... pain in the ass)
Ease of use- 4 (Simple layout of the menus and most anyone can figure out what each button does)

Try it without the shell and the memory fix, the shell it's only needed for multiple applications and the memory fix is only needed if you have memory errors, just worry about getting iGO to start first, errors on startup we can fix later
