Default GPS and Brazil Maps For Tomtom

I live in Brazil and I'm thinking about buying a P3600. Do I have to check something on the phone to see if it has GPS capability or all P3600 has, if I update the firmware?

Other question is about the GPS software... I think that Tomtom don't have Brazil maps. Is there another GPS Navigation software that you recomend?

Is there a GPS program for smartphone just with basic GPS functions, such as, showing speed, coordinates, points to a specific coordinate, and things like that?


Thanks,
Cesar

All P3600 have hardware GPS capability, although you may need to update the firmware.

As Wilsas said, Destinator is the only WM software which has maps of Brazil. Last vesion maps (2007.Q2.0) only cover estados do Rio, São Paulo, Minas, região Sul, and a few cities in Nordeste.

For more basic GPS software, you may want to have a look at VitesseLimite, and SirGPSTweaker, for GPS basic data extraction.

Do not hesitate to contact me too.
