Product Review

Full-Fledged Navigator 6 SW is NOT Included

by   kgoto ,   Dec 29, 2006

Pros:  Feature packed

Cons:  Lite version of Navigator 6 SW

The Bottom Line:  If you can live with outdated maps or are willing to spend $150 to get a current set, you won't be as disappointed as I am.

Overall Rating: 3/5 stars
 

Author's Review

I have had my iPAQ rx5915 for a little over a week now, and overall I like it. It packs a lot of features into a small package and it has been fairly stable. However, the bundled Tomtom sw has been a major disappointment to me. I had mistakenly assumed that I would be getting the equivalent to the retail standalone Navigator 6 product. NOT TRUE! The sw and maps come preinstalled on the unit, and they work as expected. However, you do not get a DVD containing the sw and maps as you would with the standalone product. More importantly, you do not get a product code for the sw/maps as you would with the standalone product. The first omission means that you are not provided with a means of reinstalling the sw should the preinstalled sw become corrupted for some reason. This is not a deal breaker for me since it is possible to copy the preinstalled TomTom sw/maps to your desktop or laptop computer as backup. The second omission is the killer. It means that you are not entitled to the product upgrades offered to purchasers of the standalone product. A case in point is that Tomtom just this month released new updated maps of the US and Canada. They are making this upgrade free to all full-fledged (i.e. those that have product codes) owners of Navigator 6. iPAQ rx5915 owners do not have product codes and are welcome to purchase the updated maps for $150. The bottom line is that this product comes with outdated maps, and if you would like the most current version, plan on adding $150 to the purchase price of the unit. I wish someone had made this clear to me before my purchase.
