Dell Axim X51v Pocket PC - TomTom software

[sjkowal]

I thinking about upgrading my Pocket PC and I'm considering the Dell Axim X51v. I use GPS in my car and already have Navman software and a Navman bluetooth GPS. (Presently using an iPaq 5550)

I understand that the Navman will not work on the Dell Axim X51v.

Will the TomTom Mobile 5 work on the Dell? (I still want to used the Navman GPS receiver so I would just go for the TomTom Mobile 5 software.)

Regards,

Stefan

Welcome to our forums.
TomTom Movile 5 is the mobile phone version. You will need TomTom Navigator 5 for a PocketPC.The X51V isn't listed as compatible yet which I suspect is because it runs Windows Mobile 5 but this should be addressed in the near future by TomTom.

Thanks Charlie, I'll keep my eye on the forum for updates on compatibility.

it's more of a case of waiting for tom tom to catch up with WM5 than downgrading back to match them in my opinion.
