Steve's blog

Being around other geeks is bad, sometimes. Over the weekend I went to the UKUUG Linux conference along with a fair number of the other UK Debian gang. I had a great time, although the conference clashed with the football so I missed some talks. I also saw Wookey and Luke using their TomTom sat-nav units. I couldn't resist the temptation for long, and I've just ordered one for myself too. The 510 looks like a good choice - small, runs Linux, and is apparently compatible with OpenTom.

Hi Steve, Just wondering if you ever got opentom running on your tomtom 510? i've got one too and had no success. Trish

No, sorry - I've not had the chance to play with it yet. I'll report on any success/failure as soon as I do... :-)

Just found this page on the 910 http://www.pocketgpsworld.com/insidetomtomgo910.php (scroll down). Haven't tried it yet as i'm not a linux wiz (and that would mean going out in the rain to get my tomtom from the car), but thought it might appreciate the link :)
