Ooh, thanks. I didn't know that you could do that. Is there an easy way to set this up in advance within having the TomTom in the same city as the computer? I guess using vnc/gitso at a later date might be the easiest option.. >> Finally, can someone with a TomTom say what, if anything, he is >> missing out on by not using the TomTom Home client?

I think my Dad was just keen to get the 'freebies' mentioned on the side of the box, but like I said it was hard to know what these were and whether there was a time limit. If I can get wine working with TomTom Home, so that he can update maps for free that would be great though. Thanks again. -- [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
