Guest bowdowntozoltan Posted December 1, 2006 Report Posted December 1, 2006 Ok how does this work when you install tom tom on your phone. how does it track? does it use the internet? does it use a phone signal? I dont get it. i would love to use it, but dont want to have to pay a huge bill.
Guest Laser_iCE Posted December 1, 2006 Report Posted December 1, 2006 it uses a GPS receiver, normally via bluetooth or, some of the new devices have GPS built in :)
Guest sparkymodaco Posted December 1, 2006 Report Posted December 1, 2006 Suprisingly tomtom have a website that explains the basics. You can find it at www.tomtom.com Get ready for a steep learning curve, I think you may find sat nav a challenge!

Guest mcwarre Posted December 2, 2006 Report Posted December 2, 2006 Look at the tomtom website it will tell you. :) You need the software and a gps receiver. The phone connects to the gps receiver and, once the gps receiver is locked onto the satelite, it knows where you are.
Guest Confucious Posted December 2, 2006 Report Posted December 2, 2006 It's all done by Majik. There's this wizard called Mr Tom (first name Tom) who know's where everyone is. The software is just there so you can receive the signals he sends by majik to your phone. HTH
