A few responses:

Adding a \\.\Volume{...} isn't enough. That list includes all drives, including
normal USB sticks etcetera. HOME cross-checks it against TomTom USB devices to
figure out the DOS path to the right USB device.

TomTom has been asked in the past to make a Linux version of HOME2. This hasn't
happened yet. One has to wonder if this is going to change, consideing that the
newest Go series (1000/1005) doesn't use HOME anymore. Instead new content is
uploaded to the device from the webbrowser. The site for this is under active
development, but doesn't use hacks like ActiveX. So it's quite possible Linux
support will become a lot easier.

As for devices, I've got no doubt that a serious developer could get a device
from TomTom for free.
