I don't know if you are looking for the smartphone version or PPC version. I think the video might be running the PPC version since it is working in landscape version also. But to get the TOMTOM smartphone version then see my link below. But just a little info for you about TOMTOM. The smartphone version is only available in Europe and costs allot when you figure you don't even get any US maps. For whatever reason TOMTOM has not released the US smartphone version so to save money this is what I did. I downloaded the TOMTOM software from the link I provided. I bought a Bluetooth SIRF Star III GPS from the Cingular store, and then logged onto TOMTOM and bought the US maps for the PPC. See the PPC maps and smartphone maps are identical. It is just a database that works with both versions. Now I have TOMTOM running great on my device. Good Luck.

This is the link I used and worked great.

allot of people have made that work. That is the PPC version. But what I have read is that people got it working with mixed results. Do a search in smartphone section about tomtom

hey,
if ur gonna be using the gps a lot, i strongly recommend getting a touchscreen phone. i used gps on the dash for a while, and trust me, its annoying and dangerous to push those tiny buttons while driving. just somethingo think about
