 ====== GPSes ======
+This page documents the various EOPs for standalone GPS units, like your Garmins and your TomToms. When looking at the operating systems GPSes can run, they will usually run either a brand of Windows CE or some form of Linux. As for CPU architectures, it seems that most all devices either use ARM or MIPS CPUs.

Said depth is quite immense, with there being a large variety of MioPocket apps covering a realm of genres.

Nonetheless, they do run, and things like DOOM can be ran, however, difficulties with USB OTG make it so actually //playing// DOOM isn't possible, at least for now. It's probably better to use a Roadmate 1424 for hacks, since it's underlying CE install is a lot less neutered.

+While somewhat broken in a few places, much of the functionality works. There is a slightly custom/unique procedure required to install MioPocket to this GPS, but it still works in the end. Refer to “General” listing of MioPocket above for downloads and generic info about it. The author of this blog did note that the lacking capabilities of the 1424 make this a bit of a pointless endeavor, specifically in the realm of internet browsing and media consumption. Despite that, MioPocket still expands the functionalities of the 1424 by quite a bit.

 This device’s filesystem likely rules out any EOPs without significant difficulty. This is due to how the device has both “mgnShell.exe” and “Navigator.exe”, rather than just “Navigator.exe” as with other Magellans. On these Magellans, the process of installing an EOP requires replacing “Navigator.exe” with the EOP. With two executables, it is likely that “mgnShell.exe” interferes with the boot process.

+Various implementations of Linux on the TomTom, primarily interfacing with the existing Linux install to make interesting things happen. OpenTom itself is the overarching project behind this Linux port. Provides information, tutorials, applications, etc. A large variety of TomTom models are supported, although some work better than others, and most of them will not be confirmed as such without further research. Such research will be done by our team in the future.

+A WM based off the work of the OpenTom project, aiming to function as a simple PDA with a few functions, plus the ability to develop more applications within if desired. Nobody seems to have jumped on this "API" style expansionism, so for now, TTOS exists primarily as a rudimentary mp3 player + PDA program.
