You can try this, as posted by Robert Rath

Based on instructions provided by Arjan van de Ven (yes, that Arjan that works at Intel and is famous for getting Linux booting in 5 seconds). There's the original link:

Of course, this is still a hack. The proper solution should be TomTom doing the RIGHT thing, but still...

That's a pretty cool hack. Basically you make your PC mimic a phone so that the TomTom One can go directly on the internet. No TomTom Home software needed.

The big question: When using this hack, can the TomTom update itself? Does it allow you to install updated maps?
