ok. in this case i have to ask what exactly are you trying to do?

1) are you trying to get raw gps data out of your tomtom device?

or

2) are you trying to make your tomtom device use your computer's
internet connection (for tomtom plus services) instead of your cell
phone gprs connection?

ok, so from what i can see standalone tomtom units can do bluetooth
hands free, send and receive sms and manage contact lists. there is
also something called tomtom plus which is a real time information
about traffic, weather etc.

well, yes. that's obviously for "dialing out" via gprs using your cell
phone as modem (i.e. for tomtom plus). in other words tomtom is a
client and cell phone is a server.
