I do not believe you can. Usually a pc connection is just for updating. You can buy simpler ones to work with a pc.

Not that I'm aware of. It runs off of GPS. I would suggest calling TomTom customer service for technical info. They are very helpful

You must connect the GPS unit to you PC & download the latest update & maps before using the unit. Otherwise, you will get annoying pop-up "Tom Tom commercials" Also register your unit.

I used it traveling from Germany to France just last december. Coming back to Germany i realized some major roads where outdated, it was as easy as hooking up the tomtom to my mac, create a username on the lifetime update for my unit and there, updated maps for free!!! Beware that they are quite heavy updates, so depending on your connection speed it may take a while.

I doubt it. I have found the device very unreliable. Half the time it will not pick up a GPS signal.

I don't know what your're talking about. I have a tom tom start 45tm 4.3 and have never had a GPS update but you can connect to a computer and get map updates if there are any.

Go to tomtom home and do a backup first. Then remove all voices except the computer one. That the one that speaks street names. Then go to update my device and update the software first. Then update the maps. Then you will be fine. Follow these steps and you will have no problems.

I think you can, but must be purchased from the TomTom site. I think that you will have to remove the USA map because I don't think that there is sufficient memory in the device for the European maps and the USA maps at the same time.

Yes u can . But unlike coordinites you down load the track will remain blue and does not blink when you get to gz you enter it as a waypoint

The problem with TomTom in general is that the maps have to be updated and is not for free. Plus the internal memory is very small. It may stop working just because there is no space. l already bought another one-Magellan with free maps update for life.

I have this tomtom and love it! I almost never connect it to my computer and it seems to still work fine. I have only noticed slightly longer connection and route calculating times (maybe 30 seconds) by not regularly connecting it

I know it works with my computer and TomTom but not sure what model my TomTom is

Yes, it works very well for Garmin 50, and you can use it in the house for programing destinations

Not sure, but I would think you should. Best bet would be to contact TomTom for this answer.

Hi Ryan, No you can't. This is not an overly intelligent device. It essentially acts as a gateway between whatever hard drive you plug into it and the net, allowing you to access your content remotely through pogoplug.com.

I don't quite know what you are asking about the USB cable, but I am using my USB cable that came with the device to plug the unit into my computer to receive updates from TomTom. I have also used the USB cable in my vehicle as a power cord when I couldn't find the cable that is usually used to power the unit in the vehicle.

Actually,It is pretty simple if you do a direct download form the TT webpage at:[url]http://download.tomtom.com/sweet/application/releases/v2_2_0_16_mac.zip[/url]Operating the Go is the main issue. You have to accept the download of an offered file. It downloads fine, but gives an error message. If you then try to operate the GO, you get some gibberish. Just exit the Home program and restart it and things work fine after that. There are still some teething issues with the software however, as TT is tinkering with some functionalities. By and large it works fine.
