as in the subject are there some tom/tom like software for Linux?
are there alternatives to use, for example with wine or emulators?

I'm not familiar with tomtom, but after a Google search I see it's something to do with GPS. There are several GPS packages in the "sci-geosciences" category, but I think they're not consumer-oriented.

I'm sure that a USB or serial GPS device could work with Windows under VMWare. I don't know about Wine, you could always search their app database to see if tomtom is supported.

Thanks for the reply...
howewer it seems tom tom run only on symbian and windows mobile smartphones, but i think there is not a good emulator (with a good bluetooth relayer too) of these architectures for Linux.
I tried gpsdrive, it's useful but cannot do a gps route planner with vocal instructions

I hope i'm wrong, but i think there is nothing in the opensource for these needs.
