Thanks Chris. Appreciate the clarification. I'll go for the navigator 5 "kit."

Supposed to be a nice sunny weekend here on Long Island. Enjoy!

Anytime. Let me know if you have any additional questions once you get your TomTom.

The weather forecast does looks great. My in-laws are coming in for the weekend, so I'm looking forward to a nice weekend.

Enjoy your weekend as well.

Hi guys,
I purchased and installed Tom Tom navigator 5 for my Treo 700p and I have a couple of questions. I installed the Application cd, and then I installed CD 1 of the maps for my region (Midwest). Do I need install the other Disks of Maps? THere are 8 total disks and it seems to be working ok after only installing disk 1. What are the other disks for?

Also, ever since I installed it, my treo will not detect my bluetooth headset. I can not get it to recognize it. Any info would be helpfull.

Ok I figured out my headset issue. I just need to know about installing the other disks

I think those are the great mysteries of man.

Kidding aside, I installed Canada and New England /NE maps -- and if memory serves, I didn't use more than one disk.

Which voice did you choose? I'd like to eventually get John Cleese.

I chose the female english voice. Anyone else know what all those extra disks are for?

I have a 700p and I'm interested in TT5. How accurate is the GPS..like is it accurate to in, feet, yards? Over all, is it worth it? I want one for my car and looking for points of interest. also I'll be hiking here and there. Who's the best to buy it from?

Thanks

Also, since this uses a bluetooth device. Does it havr the same problem that some of the bluetooth headsets do. the disconnects and reconnecting problems.

It's fantastic software. Read my TomTom 5 review. It is VERY accurate. There have been only a few times (once or twice) that TomTom had issues -- one was a construction area is Jersey with a ton of criss-crossing roads. The other was a road that was closed in Manhattan. Both easily forgiven. You can also access POI's from within your trip. So, let's say you're headed to Vermont from NY - a quick tap of POI's will bring up restaurants. This is great for finding a restaurant that might not be listed on the highway signs. I have used this to track down Starbuck's - priceless.

It's available in the Everything Treo Store, backed by our 30 day guarantee.

The 700p is not listed by TomTom as a supported device, but I have had zero problems with TT on my Treo 700p.

TT will track you, but I'm not sure what it'll show if you're in the sticks. If you plan on using it to hike, then get the Bluetooth GPS that's part of the bundle. This allows you to easily switch cars, take it on the road or walk around.

So I guess I would get the TT5- Bluetooth model. That would come with everything I need to use it in the car and walk around with it..Am I right?

thanks for the help
