Question Mapopolis vs. TomTom GPS Navagation for Treo 650?

I am interested in purchasing the Seidio G2500M GPS (Mapopolis + Bluetooth) Car Kit for Treo 650 (http://store.everythingtreo.com/cont...10-68--197.htm) or the TomTom Navigator 2004 + GPS (Wired) for Treo 650 (http://store.everythingtreo.com/cont...10-41--262.htm) and I'd like input on which you guys think is better and why.

Here is some more detailed reading on both:

Now mind you, I don't want to have wires running all over my car, I want something that I can hardwire in and just put my Treo in the cradle and it will charge as well as be in a good position to display the maps/directions. I want a GPS Navagation System which is not just software based, but has live real time tracking because I have a horrible sense of direction and I need something that will know my location and tell me as a turn is coming up as well as automatically remap if I miss my turn/exit without me having to manually replot.

Smile Tero 650/Seidio 2500/TomTom Nav 5

I have been running the Seido 2500M with my Treo 650/TomTom Nav 5 for about amonth now, and it works perfectly! There is just one power cord to the holder (which is very adaptable to different cars and desired positions to have it in the best position to read the maps/access the Treo etc.)

A second thin cord runs directly from the Treo cradle to the power GPS module and all-in-all it makes for a very nice, functional package with just one (coiled) power cord. Everything gets charged (Treo and GPS module) and I am delighted with the whole set-up. It is easily transferred from one car to another, or moved within one car for convenience/access).
