what is PDA??

 

those small pocket pc thingys

 

personal digital assistant

i found tom tom over bluetooth to be dead slow

i wanted to see how fast i was going but the time delay was daft

i have it but cant be arsed to use it now lol

 

cheers lads

not really clued up with all this stuff How much would i be looking at for sat nav setup using PDA?? would there be subsription charges? as it works off of GPS I guess?

 

WESTY I HAVE THE TOMTOM/IPAQ NAVIGATION PACK WHICH I USED
FOR THE FIRST TIME TO TAKE ME THROUGH CENTRAL LONDON OVER
XMAS AND FOUND IT TOTALLY AWESOME,IT IS FREE TO USE NO
SUBSCRIPTION AND COSTS Ł299 FROM PC WORLD,DIXONS

 

If it's any good I may buy another GPS bluetooth box....interested in selling?

 

quality.. gonna have to get one of those

 

OK, since you lot seem to know all about these and I don't

Is this a good starting point? (and a good price?)

Alan, I have an Acer N30, fantastic peice ok kit, works spot on with TomTom too

 

TomTom is the dogs gents I bit slow somtines in tight stuff.


I could not live without it

 

Sunny, anyone already with a PDA/Phone would naturally be best using a mobile version of tomtom but anyone who hasnt got a PDA/Phone and needs/wants SatNav would be better investing in tomtom GO as its an all in one device with no wires needed and boots up instantly, and is far superior than a PDA running tomtom software Ultimately though you dont need to know how to use a PC/PDA to use it so all the family benefit! however it is more expensive, but best so far is eBuyer for Ł399.90!

Ok, had it running for a few days now. Very impressed. Downloaded Checkpoint and UK speed camera's & notifications etc.....works VERY well! Even made my own .wav files for speed camera notifications...."gatso speed camera approaching in 30 secounds....SLOW DOWN YOU PRICK!" & "gatso speed camera approaching in 10 seconds.....SERIOUSLY HIT THE BRAKES OR YOUR FUCKED!" - works a treat!

Rob - Buy the hardware mate, I got all of the s/w.

Thanks - Sunny.

 

i have deffo got to sort my POI and get the speed cameras on there,

 

Was worth the 4GB download then Sunny

Works well.....all i need now is a cradle for my Acer n30, i know universal ones *should* fit, but not sure!.

Ranj

Rob, I got tomtom3 that is 100mb (gb maps only) inc voices if sunnys downlaod is scaring you a bit

 

Ranj - I have the Tomtom Bluetooth GPS box. Very small and good build quality. Costs around 100 notes.

Rob - you need a GPS reciever mate. You can buy a GPS XDA2 cradle which is compatable OR you can buy a Bluetooth GPS box like mine.

The reason why my downlaod was 4.3gig is due to it having ALL of the road maps for the whole of Europe on the DVD. You only need to install the GB maps however it's useful to have if your travelling abroad. Lastly you will need a SD memory card. I would recommend atleast 256mb as they are very reasonably prices nower days.

btw - Ranj, Rob & Justin - don't worry about d/l'ing 4.3gig's if you need all of the European maps and app as I will gladely post it to you guys.

Speak soon..

Sunny.

 

i need some wav files as ive only got sirens etc now.

oh also as POIs download postcodes as it helps searching for addresses alot.
and mcdonalds is essential oh and motor racing circuits as theyre an arse to direct to as if you go off street names on websites you end up at peoples houses who run them lol


still no one know about an updated map for the toll road???

 

cheers sunny , i knew not to believe what the guys off this site said about you.

rob

is the gps reciever built into the xda2 cradle .serching ebay now

rob

 

Melv, where you get the postcode one? I noticed tomtom onlygoes down to AB12 3--

Ie, last two letters arnt there .

Also, MaccyDs POI and KFC one are missing some of my local ones! Gotta work out how to add them in .

 

Phil, check out http://www.easydevices.co.uk/pp/Car_...ages=Downloads for the postcode stuff.

 

Cheers mate

 

the tomtom GO 4.4 software has the toll road on it, I gave the CD with it on to a colleague with a PDA and tomtom and he copied the maps over but it didnt work... until he got a hack which was a file called great_britain.map or summat which once put in his tomtom folder allowed him to use the maps so get hold of someone with a tomtom GO and nick the CD for a few mins!

 

andy,

what is the very latest Tom tom Go thats available ??? Im looking to get this and build the screen in to my dash

 

sunny ,

pm your address and i will send on a few dvd rws m8

cheers

rob

 

Rob - Don't worry about the blanks. PM me yours and I'll send the dvd's away mate. I take it you'll need 2? One for Justin?
