My TomTom does everything, web, phone, video, music...but then it's installed on my PDA phone.

This is the reason I need a bigger SD card for mine..

 

[DannyW]

i am using standard 512mb is it??

 

[Tom|Nbk]

Mine came with a pathetic 256mb. Infact it's so pathetic I can't even update to the new GB map as it's 260mb. So I'm ordering a 2GB.

 

[DannyW]

oh yeh mines 256 just checked

 

[SB118]

Heh, did this one for the wife, makes it a bit trickier to pass off in the pub

And on shutdown

 

[Tom|Nbk]

So how does the unit lock it self up if it's stolen?

 

[DannyW]

someone using a bit of common sense there ^^ good thinking tbh

 

[Tom|Nbk]

oh yeh mines 256 just checked

SD cards are uber cheap these days anyway. Can get a 2GB one for like a fiver.

 

[DannyW]

i don't even have a fiver lol, hence why i'm staying in playing about with the tomtom out of the car i can't drive cos theres no petrol in and can't be washed/cleaned cos it's raining

So how does the unit lock it self up if it's stolen?

It doesn't, but it might make it harder to shift if that's the message that greats them when they try to show it off. (unless smackheads can use a PC in which case i've wasted my time )

 

[233]

remember and password protect it too

 

[Tom|Nbk]

Just curious how it pops up that's all. It's a good idea in theory.

It's the welcome message, like DannyW has changed his to OcUK, nothing to do with security.

its the splash screen

it comes up every time you turn it on. But of course you know its not stolen because you put the screen there so it doesnt bother you

if however, somebody sells it, the person they're selling it to will !! and agree with the poster, chances are the thieving scum doesnt have a PC or know how to remove it.

 

[Tom|Nbk]

Oh right I see. Good idea.
