Nav 6 is the successor to Nav 5 and TomTom Mobile 5 and can be used on a number of Mobiles and PDAs. My review is based on my experience using an MDA Variao 2.
I recently took a trip to Europe on my bike and got a copy of TT Nav 6. Not actually knowing much about where I was didn't give me much confidence but the Vario 2 with the Nav 6 installed was a lifesaver. Map are so detailed and being on the bike meant fuel stops were frequemt but I was able to plan this using the software. The 3D maps were good but I prefer 2D maps as I work a lot with paper maps and charts and it's just what I'm used to.
The colours used were good, each screen was easy oto focus on with a good contrast of colours used. My experience in Europe was limited to planning and frequent checking of my route upon stopping. Since i returned to the UK however I have used many more of the features available.
One of my favourites is the nav buddy. It lets you enter the details of your mates who also have Nav 6 and it visually displays their location, on your map!
There are various cool features such as the speeding alert, camera alerts, and the new London congestion charge feature that allows you to plan your trip around the fine zone.
If you pay extra for Tomtom Plus, you get even more features such as traffic and weather updates, detailed city maps and different navigation voices.
A simple but clever tol is the route recalculation. It updates your route if anything causes a need for a diversion.
All in all, a pretty cool piece of mobile software, go get it!
(+) Cheap compared to standalone, removes the need for seperate sat nav (-) No post code only search but this can be resolved with adding a house number of any house
