Tomtom 84
Yamila Comejo
I'm currently working on an iPhone Application which allows the user to navigate to POIs. Those POIs are defined via lat/lon, and the user should have the possibility to start his navigation solution with one click to navigate to this POI.
I used Tomtom to send me an email from the route planning option on my iPhone. In that email is a tomtomhome:geo link which I used. To test I clicked on the link on my Mac in Safari, and obviously nothing happened. Then I saved the link as a bookmark, which immediately is synced to my iPhone using MobileMe. I clicked on the bookmark on my iPhone Safari browser and viola Tomtom opens with a map centred to the location in the link. It pops up with a balloon with the links name, and an right arrow allows me to choose first option "Navigate there"
HI there, I have a tomtom GPS receiver and would like it to be used with my iPad via Bluetooth, when I put it on to be discovered, the iPad does not pair with the tomtom GPS receiver. Can anyone tell me if they have done this and if so, which program do I have to download, so that my iPad can use the GPS receiver for map navigation.
Which pad do you have. The pad 2 has bt. 2.1 specs, and is designed to work with speakers, headphones and keyboards. The pad 3 has bt 4.0. I have not heard a report one way or the other on what devices it now works with, but a starting place for you would be to see what bt profile the Tom Tom uses. If the pad is not seeing it, I think that is a bad sign.
Mine is an ipad2 64 GB with sim and I have a Tomtom wireless satilite GPS receiver MK11 but I don't have a program that will pair them both together. When I tried to put it on (discoverable) the iPad does not detect it.
I have a Samsung Galaxy SIi ,I found a program on the net which allowed my Samsung to pair with the tomtom GPS receiver. Looks like Apples policy is Communist and Android products are Democritic , Apple will need to more friendly with other products ???? Cheers, manikurian.
Politics aside, if you have a pad w a sim, you have the model with the gps built in. You do not need the external Tom Tom device, unless you are using some real specific application that a regular gps signal will not support.
I'm not the one you should be telling. is a better place to go. I for one am happy with the GPS functions of the 3G. Plus the Samsung has its own weaknesses that show its corporate foolishness. And before you start calling Apple's policy Communist, realize communism is less corporate like than current democracies in the world. True communism is socialist in its tendencies. Capitalism when allowed to fund all of the election activities is more fascist than democracies like ancient Greece. So the intent of what you said is actually backwards. Be careful what you say, you may not realize that it isn't quite representative of what you desire. The real differences for corporation/democracy/communism are outside the purview of this forum, and we aren't really supposed to discuss Apple's policy here. That's why there is a good feedback link above. And you should also contact TomTom and let them know they are losing out on a big market of iPad users out there.
This is where you can configure aspects such as video resolution and frame rate. Each mode allows you to configure that separately. Additionally, within these menu settings you can enable support for connecting to a Bluetooth Smart heart rate sensor, as well as the TomTom remote control.
Next up is the time-lapse mode. Within this mode the camera will compile shots (essentially photos) taken at a preset interval into a ready to go movie. This is similar to the time-lapse function that the Garmin VIRB action cameras introduced, and that GoPro then added as well this past winter.
Meanwhile, the base lens is IPX7 (30 minutes up to 1-meter/3-feet deep). However the dive lens accessory is waterproofed to 50m. It just rotates on and locks, just like the battery stick does. I left it underwater for quite some time, just filming away:
The challenge with this is that it pulls in clips that might not be relevant, such as prior to the start of your trip. So if you need to edit those out (or slightly increase/decrease the length) you can do so from the timeline.
Yes and no. Technically it shoots it at 15FPS, which is about half the normal frame rate of video. Instead, it shoots 2.7K at 30FPS, which is the normal frame rates. These specs are on par with what GoPro offers in their latest Hero4 Silver. Whereas in the higher end Hero4 Black they offer the full 4K at 30FPS.
Nice review!, seems like they picked a very similar form factor to the first generation garmin virbs, too bad there is no video preview on the built in screen.
Do you think the bike mount is strong enough to retain its position with moderate to hard impact or vibration? I am thinking about mountain bike usage. I have tried threaded camera mounts for a bike handlebar and a gopro adapter connected to the virb cradle and it seems due to the virb weight, it ends up moving and the lens pointing down, and I can see the bandit might be heavier.
Hello Jose, thank you for this feedback! I would like to help answer your question regarding the bike mount. It is designed to withstand strong vibration or impact. The mount will stay well in place and should be tightened using an Allen key, which can be purchased separately.
Trying to get my head around the form factor and regular use. You did a another great job with the various use cases, yet it is pretty odd dismantling/reassembling components out of tube controller case just to plug it in. Not sure how many cycles that would end up being over the life span, and the resulting wear and tear conditions.
Hi Scott E, thanks for leaving your comment. We appreciate your feedback. I would like to address the point you made regarding the TomTom Bandit possibly wearing over time due to the Batt-Stick being removed and reinserted each time it needs charging. The Bandit has a durable case design which allows for the easy removal of the Batt-Stick. We did rigorous testing to ensure it can withstand the test of time and designed it with this in mind. In order to minimize the possibility of wearing, there is a separate connector for charging and another one for the transfer of data.
Just compare the video quality between tomtom and gopro.. I find the video quality is superior in TomTom, You see the sky and the greenery and the road.. you can find accurate color reproduction in TomTom and not the same in GoPro..
Which of these units would you recommend for a whitewater kayaker? My priorities would be:
1. Waterproofness, even with crashing waves
2. Battery life
3. GPS integration so tracks can be created and shared with trip reports
4. Image quality, although poor image quality at decent frame rates would be a dealbreaker
gopro has different lenses for under water colour correction, Will tomtom have the same?
Will the remote work while Diving? Is IT waterproof to the same depth?
Which is better (in your opinion) for scuba, Gopro4 silver or tomtom? A bit anoyed that One has to pay an extra tenth of the price of the camera for waterproofing.
Hi
I have been reading your reviews which helped me decide what not to buy :)
What is the white balance on tomttom have you tested it in snow conditions?I bought KODAK SP1 cam and it was perfect in all but snow conditions and Kodak customer service did not reply to my questions (rubbish)!
Cheers

1. During recording: the assumption is that the during recording the interesting moment already happened, so the starting position is -6sec [-6sec,+0sec]. The moment someone has clicked the button for manual highlight is when the Highlight ends.
In 1s or 5s video timelapse mode am I reading correctly that battery life is unaltered?
Do you have any rough idea pleas on how big a 720res timelapse video for 3 hours would be on 1s or 5s ?
(or any suggestions on how to video 12 hours in the wilderness!!)
How does it deal with vibrations?
I use mine with my aircraft and it vibrates heavily (even with the 360 mount), rendering the footage unusable.
I do like its ease of use and in my opinion its colors are far better than my gopro hero 3+ silver.
Bad low-light footage, though, and also white screens when shooting against the sun.

I dont know what expac it was but i recall something where you needed to find a bunch of chests and when you enabled tomtom and you were in that zone no matter where you stood the tomtom arrow would show you the closest chest and then you could basically follow the arrow to the remaining chests in that area.
A file containing one or more motifs in MEME format or the HTML (.html) or plain text (.txt) output of MEME or DREME. Each of these motifs will be searched against the target databases. If you only wish to search with a subset of these motifs then look into the -m and -mi options.
File(s) containing MEME formatted motifs. Outputs from MEME and DREME are supported, as well as Minimal MEME Format. You can convert many other motif formats to MEME format using conversion scripts available with the MEME Suite.
The main output file is named tomtom.html and can be viewed with a web browser. The tomtom.html file is created from the tomtom.xml file. An additional file, tomtom.txt, contains a simplified, text-only version of the output. (See -text, below, for the text output format.)
For each query-target match, two additional files containing LOGO alignments may also be written -- an encapsulated postscript file (.eps) if the -eps flag is specified and a portable network graphic file (.png) if the -png flag is specified. An install of ghostscript is required to create the png file.
