Somehow I got it all working. TomTom doesn't support missing sync on the Mac. I have the BT-335. I've heard other people prefer a different model. What's your experience?
OK, I just hated the first 5 hours!!!

Have you heard about version 6 coming out and do you now if upgrades will be free for recent purchasers?
OK, I just hated the first 5 hours!!!

Anyone know how to get rid of the startup screen/warning?

I used the Bluetooth GPS that came with the TomTom 5 bundle. They might not "officially support" Missing Sync, but it works just fine with my setup.
Which warning screen? The one where you agree to terms?
So, after all of that, are you finally enjoying the software?

Installing TomTom
Maybe it's a great program, but one has to install it first, and I can't even start that process. I get a message saying that my temp files are full, so installer cannot run. Not so. My temp folders are empty and my computer guru tells me the problem is with the new software. TomTom, on the other hand says their software is fine and I need to find more space for my temp files. Nonsense, says my guru. SO I'm stuck with a box of expensive equjipment that I can't use.

I enjoy it the 1 out of 10 times that it works.
Yes, I enjoy it the 1 out of 10 times that it works. I have it installed on a Treo 650 that now has 14.5 megs of free memory but many times it won't launch saying that there's not enough memory! When it does launch it can't find the blue tooth device so I have to delete and re-pair it with the BT-338. After 10 minutes of resetting the Treo, and reconfiguring bluetooth it might and work and then it's amazing. But who has that much time and patience for something that should work by itself?

Try simply toggling the Bluetooth on the Treo OFF/ON. Might work and it's easier than having to go through the pairing process.

TomTom Nav 6, Installing Maps
Seems like I have forgotten how to get the maps from the TomTom CD's to the Treo 650.
I originally installed the Northeast maps a year or so ago, and then the easily and intuitively Southeast maps some many months back, and now wish to install the midwest (Indiana) map, but can't seems to get anything going for me.
As I recall, you install the basic TomTom CD and then open it and pick your desired maps, download, to your PC (or in my case Mac) and then synchronize.
Trouble is, I can't seem to get the first step going. . . nothing seems to appear that will identify the CD I need or the process to use to download the maps.
Can someone refresh my memory? (Nothing on the basic Application CD seems to open in any useful way for me to start the process. It was intuitive in the past, but either something is wrong with the program or I am suffering early Alzheimers.)
Many thanks!

Have you tried using this installer, with the TomTom CD in your Mac?
