hi all,
Im trying to get my PDA to be GPS/satnav enabled?
I have an o2 XDA exec and i "optained"(l*m*w*re., ahem.,,lol:D ) tomtom software from tinterweb but when i tried to install it with the SD card it turned out to be in german or something.,lol.,:( i was gutted, it took me ages to download.,lol.,.,

What i kow about sat nav, GPS etc you could write on the back of a stamp..,:eek:
im just wondering if anyone can give me any ideas on what my options are for the PDA im using, what i need and where to get the things i need.,.,

i know theres other threads here about similar stuff but i looked in them and came out even more confused.,:confused: ..,:D

any help is greatly appriciated.,(y)
cheers peeps
 
limewire is pants.

If you still need help pm me and il tell you how to get navigator 6 , with all speed cameras, maps, voices etc. All for FREE.
 
You all sorted now fella??? Did you download the stuff???? follow the instructions etc and it will work fella.
 
Hiya.,
cheers mate,
i got the software working, im just working on getting the Voices working now, i only have 3-4 of them so far,
I thought the XDA Exec had a built in GPS receiver but i think i was wrong about that now, so im just gonna order a bluetooth one over the internet.,
Are there any differences between them? or do they all do pretty much the same job?

Thanks for the help.,(y)

Im not to sure.... ive got a gps reciever thing that you stick on the windscreen. You plug it into the ciggy lighter thing in the car and the xda and away you go.
Il try and find out what its called.... aint got the box anymore lol

you want one with 10 channels min.
with a s sirf* 3 chip in it.

trust me and go for the Holux slim 236. Holux make gps recievers for navman, they aren't some obscure japaneese make.

battery life is incredible i've left mine on over night and it's still worked for another 2 days
