John,
You (and Stefan) are probably right - making an OSM to TomTom data format
converter would probably be more sensible and take less effort.
I had hoped that the TomTom code would have had a standard graphics library
included so it would be easy to port an existing OSM based router to it, but

I didn't think it was likely to be possible though, don't they use DRM to
stop this as if you could get OSM data on there you'd be able to steal their

Hello Graham,
Be aware that the GTK code that draws rotated text (Pango) is quite
slow. You can ask Willem-Jan De Hoog who ported gosmore to the maemo.

that OSM has several apps for them. Sometimes you need to browse the

'Jailbreak' is not the correct term. Both the legalities and the
technicalities can best be described as 'booting from SD card'.
