The OpenTom Software

There are two types of software connected with Tomtom devices:

Software that runs on a desktop computer and feeds data to/analyses data from the device (e.g. Tomtom HOME). To create such Software, simply check out the file formats used by the embedded software, take your favourite programming environment and get started.
Software that runs on the device (e.g. Tomtom Navigation aka TTN). To create such software, you need to install a tool chain to develop software running on the ARM processor and linux operating system.

To quickly find out what has already been created, check the OpenTom:Community Portal
