There is a great deal of discussion regarding Tom Tom and Garmin comparisons and the conclusion seems to be that one should buy the one that suits them most. Tom Tom offers clear display, live traffic information but one pays for the updated maps. Garmin has smaller models but the maps are updated continually and included in the price.

What are the benefits of owning a Tom Tom Sat Nav?

The TomTom Sat Nav is a navigation system. The TomTom Sat Nav uses actual speed data collected from many of users to accurately calculate its user's travel time. It also has advanced lane guidance and spoken street names.


Why is the sat nav called tom tom?

The name "TomTom" originates from the company's founders, who wanted a catchy and memorable name for their navigation devices. The name is derived from a popular children's nursery rhyme character, Tom Thumb, symbolizing guidance and travel. TomTom has since become a leading brand in GPS navigation, known for its innovative mapping and routing technologies.

Honda Civic radio doesnt work and is showing 555 in the display. Why?

I have never seen the code 555. Did you disconnect the battery or replace it? Are you sure you are not seeing ERR? If you have attempted to insert the code multible times and failed your radio will lock up with the ERR code displayed. Drive the car for 1 hour with the radio on and it will reset and allow you to enter the correct code. If you do not have the code then you need to go to the Honda Owners webiste and register your Civic. IF you have the VIN#, and are registered with Honda, you can go to their website https://radio-navicode.honda.com/. You will need to enter your VIN#, registered phone number and zip code as well as your radio/nav serial number (retrieval process detailed above). The site walks you through the inputs and if successful, then spits either your radio code or nav code.


In jaws how did they know it was a shark?

Remember that Hooper the marine biologist did the autopsy. The bite marks / lacerations (how the flesh is carved) are indicative of what type of shark, including a suggestion of size. Amazing thing is that Jaws is only 3.5 feet longer than the largest Great Whites ever caught. (Jaws = 25', largest captured GW's approach 22') So while it appears to be ridiculously/impossibly large, id say that there have been 25 foot GW's out there. FUN FACT: They have attached sat nav trackers to GW's and some swim around Perth (western australia) before going non stop, amazingly fast, to Africa. Some dive down to over 1km in depth.

Can I change my 2002 jaguar xk8 from the three gauges to an factory navigation system?

The factory nav system sucks. I don't mean that it's not very good, I mean it SUCKS. BIG TIME. The maps haven't been updated since 2003. Jaguar and Alpine had a falling out and now Alpine refuses to provide updated maps. But, even if the system was decent, you can't do it very easily because the the wiring harness is different. Many XK8 owners with the factory nav system want the gauges, but they can't swap out their nav system for gauges because the harness doesn't have the right wires in it. BUT, there is an alternative. If you can get the wood pieces from a junked XK8, you can install a large Garmin or Magellan unit in the hole where the factory nav system is supposed to go. My XK8 had the factory nav, but I removed it and installed a Garmin 1490t. It fits in the hole almost perfectly. It has a touch screen, so it's much easier to use than the cruddy factory nav. And my maps are current. It looks like it was installed at the factory. Go to jaguarforums.com and in the XK8 forum you can find some pictures of ones people have replaced.

What is a SAT NAV GPS, and where are they available?

A SAT NAV GPS is a satellite navigation system. It actually triangulates your position on the planet with the satellites and tells you where you are based on the latest satellite images and maps of the earth. Best Buy has both TOM TOM and OnStar and that's where I would recommend buying one.
