For me, one of the big attractions of the TomTom series is that they run Linux and there is a nice set of 3rd-party addons to enhance the functionality. It took me an afternoon to write a small app that updates a web page with my current position.

Alas... TomTom has just sent out this:

Code:

We herewith inform you that TomTom has discontinued the
TomTom GO SDK. This means that TomTom will discontinue
the release of any new updates for the TomTom GO SDK and
we will keep supporting the current TomTom GO SDK until
its end of life for our existing customers. Due to this
the TomTom GO x10 serial cable has also been discontinued.

With kind regards,
The TomTom PRO support team



So no more user programmability
