To whom it may concern,
This petition is the result of numerous e-mails and calls to TomToms customer service help-line requesting Linux software support for TomToms Home software. Despite the numerous e-mails & calls, TomTom has failed to provide support to its customers who use Linux.

Because todays computer user is more informed we exercise our right to install whichever Operating System (OS) we choose however, this choice can only be as successful as the support we have from hardware vendors.
We have supported the TomTom organization through our purchases, and all were asking in return is that you provide us with adequate software support. We chose TomTom because we saw an excellent product. Please give us a reason to continue seeing that.

Given the competitive nature of the GPS market, we feel its not too much to ask that you look out for your customers as we can just as easily switch GPS units as we did Operating Systems. If youre not willing to support your customers, somebody else will.

    • I'd love to see it happen! I currently have to run Windows in a VM. Even if it was made compatible with Wine, that would be a tremendous step forward!

    • The more people move to Linux the less people can connect to your site. The more they realize that they cannot access the information they need the less they will buy the product because it doesn't fit their needs. Less money for TomTom and it goes under like the thousands of other companies are now. Open your eyes to what is going on in the world be more versitle.

    • A qualtiy Linux client is a must, I run almost exclusively linux and only execute windows when I must. I look forward to the day that I am not forced to run windows, an OS that is at the root of many of the securty problems.

    • I thought i was supporting TomTom International BV to support Linux by buying one of their devices. I don't really think like that anymore; that is a disappointment. :(

    • Have been fighting this issue for a year now, with absolutely no satisfactory response from TomTom. Will happily switch GPS systems as soon as possible. Since my TomTom is basically a brick without updates I just leave it in the console. Hasn't been turned on in nine months.
