Too bad I'm heading back to Germany next Sunday for the summer. Otherwise I would love to test Tomtom Navigator US. In Germany, I've been using Tomtom Navigator for a while and I really like it. It's a great navigation program for the PPC and I would highly recommend it to anyone.

Default US Field test

I applied to test but I am worried they will not choose me because I use a Casio E-200. The Casio is a great device but is no longer made. :|

We'll see, I'm using a Maestro. Hopefully they will want to have it tested on as wide a variety of devices as possible.

I applied, too. I have a Toshiba Genio e550g. It is not on their list of compatible devices. I don't know whether that would make it a no-go, or if they would want to test the product on other PPC's.

I hope I qualify. I've got the following devices to test it on:

iPAQ 1910, iPAQ 5455, Toshiba e570, Dell Axim X5, T-Mobile Pocket PC PE, Viewsonic V35, and an old iPAQ 3650 (upgraded to PPC2002). I've also got 256MB CF, 128MB CF, 256MB SD, and 128MB SD (I noticed that storage is in their questionnaire too).

Hopefully they contact me!

Hi All:

___Well, lets see if the Axim gets its chance with TT Nav 2 for the US? Oh how I would love to get a hold of the TomTom Bluetooth GPS device being rumored about and linked above as well! Currently, I use Mapopolis 3.24 for local and Destinator 2.06 for distance (what can I say; I like Destinator's voices ) but would still like to see a new and better overall solution. Triple boot OS�s (ME, 2K SP3, XP Pro SP1) can�t hurt either, can it? I don't however think TomTom cared about my older but quite bulletproof Casio EG-800 w/ Windows CE

___Good Luck to you all and Admin, thanks for the link and info.

Default Us field test

Has any one received confirmation of being chosen yet? My email that came after sending in my application form said they would be letting people that qualified know soon.
