With the 730 – Am I right that this model can have up to 50 seperate routes each with 48 waypoints per route? And, can these routes be saved.

Thanks!

TomTom used to offer an “iPod Connection Kit” however it is difficult to find these days. That is the only way I know of.

Sometimes software issues are addressed– but unfortunately it isn’t terribly common. Each side (GPS company, phone manufacturer, voice carrier) typically points fingers and blames the other.

Thanks Mike,
I can’t beleive that the N95, top-of-the-line Nokia mobile Phone isn’t compatable with my TomTom for text. What are the odds?
Can’t really complain as TomTom was a Fathers Day gift.
I assume it’s a software incompatability. Do these deficits ever get corrected by software updates to the phone or GPS?

Hi Mark
Go to http://www.tomtom.com/phones/compatibility
Sadly, I think your Nokia will not send or receive SMS, but will do hands free calling.
I too am in Australia – My Motorola only receives SMS, but will not send.

Hi All, so far I’m happy with TomTom 730. It’s a refurb out of the USA (I’m in Autralia).
I’m trying to get the text messages to work, from my Nokia N95, to no avail.
The two devices ’see’ each other. I select:

All four options are ‘greyed out’
How do I activate this feature or is it a problem with the model of the phone? I Hope not as it’s too good to upgrade just now.
Cheers Mark

For the people that are having problems with the volume on a hands free call. You can turn up the volume, but it can only be done while in a call.

1. Establish a hands free call
2. Touch the bottom of the screen on your TomTom
3. Adjust the slider bar.
4. Job Done!!!

BTW – The quality of the hads free call is still pretty poor even with the volume turned up full. I think this is because the speaker is on the back of the unit.

Hope This helps someone

I have the exact same problem… I have look in every forum I can find and there seems to be no answer to this. I don’t know if my unit is deffective or if it’s a bug that acn be fixed… can somebody tell me if the volume on the hands free works well for them so I can go exchagne my unit?
