could you run the giz with tomtom without the extra software?

Don't think it is possible to run Tomtom on Giz. I've been searching forums and haven't been able to find a way!! If any-one knows better perhaps you could tell us how!!

As I said earlier... My box has no mention of sat nav software anywhere on it... It has a small slip of paper (like you get when something last minute is added) and the card was with this. I have now sold it on to a guy I know as I was told by the store manager that these have a few weeks left at this price then they are going down to 50% off again so it will be £31 for it. He told me to keep the number and do the ring and reserve in a few weeks time (after the easter sale has finished..25th April)

anyone know if there is any truth to the half price situation?

I mean what is to stop me reserving it every day (and again when its expired) untill it gets to half price?

From reading the Gizmo forums any third party software has to be " signed" by a software developer, using the approved development packs given out by Giz parent company to Games programmers.

There seem to be possibilities to add a signature patch to enable a program to work, but you have to get your hands on a copy of the relevant parts of a development pack out there. For legal reasons these are pulled from the forums if they are posted. Time will tell, as cracks are bound to appear sometime in the future, especially by angry unpaid developers, well let's hope so.
