I finally fired up my TomTom navigator connected to my Palm Treo 680. Unfortunately it only came with UK maps, so I had to get hold of a USA / Canada map which I have now installed. It’s awesome. I think it’s the coolest gadget I’ve gotten in forever!
I’m hiring a car on Friday (woohoo, first time ever) and going on a little American road trip. Down to San Diego, then Tijuana, Los Angeles and then San Francisco. All guided by my delightful little TomTom navigator! 
I’m delighted to announce that my brand new Treo 680 arrived today. Much sooner than anticipated. After much eBay research and repeated furious bidding, I finally managed to steal a bargain on a brand new Treo 680 at £130.17 on Friday night.
I debated at some length whether to pay an extra £2 for express delivery. I opted to chose patience instead. Then I watched DHL’s track and trace system with delight as I followed the path of my new gadget from Dublin to Edinburgh in only two days. Wonderful!
It’s working like a charm. One or two sync issues with Fedora 7, but more on that to follow…
