GPSes
This page documents EOPs for standalone GPS units. Standalone being ones that are mounted or handheld, rather than directly integrated into a vehicle's dashboard.
General (WinCE)
Operating Systems (MIPS?)
MioPocket
MioPocket comes with just about everything that you might want
Originally intended for the Mio series of GPSes, MioPocket has been adapted to function on many WindowsCE-based GPSes, such as the Magellan, Sanyo, Mio, and more. All information in detail is supplied in the readme files for MioPocket, such as the depth of available applications.
Magellan RoadMate 1412
Operating Systems (ARM?)
Windows CE (w/ Total Commander, +Doom)
The Explorer components are so absent, third-party apps can’t even display Open or Save dialogs
The remaining Windows CE sublayer on this device is highly neutered, thus, apps like Total Commander are barely even able to run on this thing. Nonetheless, they do run, and things like Doom can be ran, however, good luck actually playing the game.
Magellan RoadMate 1424
Operating Systems (ARM?)
MioPocket
A lot of the programs do not run correctly with this software for me.
While somewhat broken in a few places, much of the functionality works. There is a slightly custom/unique procedure required for this GPS, it still works in the end. Refer to “General” listing of MioPocket for downloads and generic info.
Magellan RoadMate 2036
Operating Systems (ARM?)
No EOPs appear available for this device.
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.
These programs all failed to work: BananaPC, FileMan ARM, MioPocket 4.0, ResInfo, SoftButton CE, & Total Commander. Various permutations of files and placements were tried, and it was ultimately determined that it is not worth attempting to hack this device, especially when other very similar Magellans exist with EOPs.
TomTom (pre-2014?)
Operating Systems (ARM/MIPS?)
Linux (TTL, thru OpenTom)
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.

TTOS
includes a calculator, a calendar clock, a terminal, a sample app, and a MP3/Vorbis player
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.
X11-Basic
A special compile for TomTom devices (ARM-linux+framebuffer)
This is a BASIC interpreter + graphics that can be ran on the TomTom combined with a Linux sublayer, serving as a sort of “additional EOP” function. Capable of running file managers and such, it appears.

Internet
TomEDillo
A basic port of Dillo that runs off of the preexisting Linux base that’s found on these TomToms. Only issue is that the download for this project seems to have been lost, which is a shame.

TomTomHeaven apps
A bunch of apps available for the TomTom, presumably using the OpenTom work to get them working in the first place. French language website, unsure about applications.
