Tom Tom, the epic battle

GPS Tom Tom One

Posted August 19, 2009
I officially have a love hate relationship with my Tom Tom one GPS. I have always found the actual device quite easy and user friendly..a plus for Tom Tom, what i have always hated is their crappy software...Tonight I had two goals
1)Update map pack
2)Get routes with point of interest stops programmed in

The Map, was an $80 upgrade, can you believe it? What a rip..They sell new ones for $119 at future hole...I like my tom tom and it works fine so i downloaded the maps..took another hour to get them loaded in...all good maps in. Now I can program my routes right?

Nope, what a pain in the arse. I really like google maps because if you disagree with the route they choose you can actually drag their route to the one you would have picked and it will rework itself...With Tom Tom software you cant do anything like that...you have to beg it to work with you...In the end I downloaded an awesome program that saved the day. The prgram was called TYRE and it lets you program a route with points of interest in google maps and then it sends all the proper info into your tom tom so that the GPS understands where you want to go..Awesome!! Routes programmed!
