Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
TomTom Route Planner is a route-finding program that covers more than 40 European countries and is designed to work with Palm-based computers, those running the EPOC operating system (like Psion's Series 5) and Pocket PCs.
Installation is easy. You copy the program to your Windows-based PC along with any individual maps. Then, the next time you synchronise, the whole lot gets copied to your palmtop. Then for example, if you wanted to plan a route from Brighton to Falmouth in Cornwall on your Palm, you'd load the detailed UK map, search for Brighton, set it as your departure point, search for Falmouth, set that as your destination and then tap the Plan button. You can choose between the shortest or the quickest route and then elect to have the instructions displayed turn by turn on the screen or follow the map, with more concise instructions rolling along the bottom of the screen like a ticker tape. It works well for major roads, though smaller ones are simply listed as unnamed and navigation could prove tricky, especially in an unfamiliar country.
To speed up route planning, the program lets you select up to nine locations as favourites which subsequently you can just pick off a list. If you've got a Pocket or EPOC-based PC you'll enjoy more display options and you can also specify areas to avoid and include up to four specified stopovers on the journey. Overlays let you add your own locations, points of interest and so on. For those who simply must know exactly where they are all the time--and assuming you have the relevant hardware--it also supports GPS.
It's worth noting that if you've got a Pocket PC you can access more features than if you have a Palm because of limitations with the latter's 33MHz processor. For example, Pocket PC owners can plan a route from England to France (i.e., across two countries, using two maps) while Palm owners can't because they can only load one map at a time. This drawback aside, TomTom Route Planner Europe remains an extremely versatile, pocket-sized route finder. --Rob Beattie
Manufacturer's Description
TomTom RoutePlanner is the award-winning road map and route planning application for handheld computers. It combines the latest and most accurate road information with a fast and easy-to-use interface. From cross-continental voyages to local trips, TomTom RoutePlanner has the knowledge and the design to support you at every turn. TomTom RoutePlanner can act as an electronic map in the same way as the old-fashioned paper maps, but, unlike paper maps, RoutePlanner can plan your route for you. Simply tell RoutePlanner where you are either by tapping on the map in the appropriate place or by entering the name of the city or location you are in. Then, in the same way, tell RoutePlanner where you want to go. If you want to go via any places of interest you can specify these as well. You can even tell RoutePlanner where you don't want to go and let it work around these areas. Once the route is calculated you are ready to set off. It's as easy as that.This software is intended for the following PDAs: @migo 600-C; @migo PD-131; Askey Piccolo PC010; Audiovox Maestro PDA1032C; Audiovox Thera PDA2032; Casio Cassiopeia E-115; Casio Cassiopeia E-125; Casio Cassiopeia E-200; Casio Cassiopeia EG-80; Casio Cassiopeia EG-800; Casio Cassiopeia EM-500; Casio Cassiopeia IT-70; Casio Cassiopeia IT-700; Compaq Aero 1550; Compaq iPAQ 3100 series; Compaq iPAQ 3600 series; Compaq iPAQ 3700 series; Compaq iPAQ 3800 Series; Compaq iPAQ 3900 series; Fujitsu-Siemens Pocket LOOX; HP Jornada 525; HP Jornada 540 Series; HP Jornada 560 Series; HP Jornada 928 WDA; NEC Mobile Pro P300; Palmax P6M / PD60M; Palmax PD-131; Palmax PD-600C; Sagem WA3050; Symbol PPT 2700; T-Mobile Pocket PC Phone; Toshiba e310; Toshiba e570; Toshiba e740; Trium Mondo; O2 xda.
