TomTom licensing explicitely forbids the use of their proprietary software on devices that it isn't intended for.
Check out TomTom Go license, also the PocketPC/Palm software makes similar references but limits it to supported devices. There is also a clause about not transferring the data files to other devices (excluding backup).
I can't be bothered digging out the box for my TomTom Go and finding the clause but I can assure you that it is there.

Two comments:
1) Did you agree to those clauses when you bought the device? I find it hard to believe that any company can put restrictions on you _after_ you purchase since the deal is done _at_ purchase.
2) What if Kellogs decide to put a clause on the inside of their "Special K" packets saying "This food stuff may not be stored in a different container, or consumed by someone not related to the purchaser, or by anybody on a Tuesday." You really gonna obey that?
These companies are really taking the piss - and we're generally suckers for it.
NB: I do _not_ condone illegal copying of software - but trying to declare that you cannot _move_ a piece of software to a different device is dishonest.
