Maybe, but it was delivered from the netherlands.... ;-)

I´ve had TomTom Version 2 before, and i found the new version really good.....

macsoft, i think you have not tried the TOMTOM 5 correctly. I'm a TOMTOM user as i am a Copilot user. I can say to you that your disapointment coul be by:
1. It´s instable at the moment
2. The Portuguese Maps are not so good as Copilot (TeleAtlas from TomTom versus NAVETEK q3 2004 from Copilot). The version 5 from TOMTOM maps are very accurate in big cities and nearby them in Portugal, but in other regions not so good, instead of CoPilot that almost all the Portuguese roads are there (some of them with no name but they are there to navigate...)
3. It doen´t permit you make a waypoint when you are in an area not coverd by map cartography.
4. It not possible to put a destination by geographical coordenates (latitud and longitud).
The other way, excelent 3d Navigation(by far the BEST) excelent and quickly route calculation,and plenty of otpions. I´ve heard that TOMTOM are going to use NAVETEK maps. If so, as NAVETEK maps are the most complete for Portugal by far at the moment, it will be the best navigation software for pocket PC.
