TomTom Home available for Download

TomTom is making their desktop software TomTom Home available for download for folks who have models other than the new TomTom GO 510 and TomTom GO 910. The software allows you to manage your GPS on your desktop computer in ways that make the units more productive and your life a bit better. You will be able to manage your firmware, voices, your maps, Points of Interest, and color schemes.
So, while you get some goodies for your older 300, 500, 700 and ONE, you don't totally get a free pass to everything. Unfortunately you won't be able to prepare trips on your computer and download them to your older unit.
Links to the download page for both Windows and Mac OS X below.
