Why is your Tom Tom requiring you connect to a PC?

I have a 340 XLS, I love it, and all I do is feed it power on a regular
basis.

It runs Linux inside and you can download and add your own point of
interest files simply by dragging and dropping them onto the Tom Tom's
FAT filesystem with a USB cable.

Again, love it.
