Sat Nav for Pocket LOOX420

#1 (**permalink**) 12-06-2005, 01:53 PM

I'm wanting to buy a sat nav system to use in the car. I already own a PDA/pocket pc which is a Fujitsu siemens LOOX420.

Can anyone recommend a system that works well with the LOOX420 or should i not bother using the PDA and go for a seperate system?

Thanks in advance.

Welcome to our forums.
Do you use the features of your PDA or would you be better with a dedicated satnav solution?

I do use the features of my PDA, especially the calendar and word to keep files in but I am unsure as to wether a sat nav system for the PDA will work well. I have no experience of using sat nav with a pda so I have no idea of what I need. I use the car a lot to get the county so being able to get from door to door without driving around unecessarily would save time and money. Also I am unsure of what systems might be compatible with the fujitsu siemens pocket LOOX420

many thanks

The LOOX420 is not supported but any of the Navman or TomTom packages so it looks as though you may need to go for a dedicated system or a new PDA.

Thats very strange...on the same wesite where i bought my LOOX420 they are selling the same PDA with a Navman 4 package for sat nav.....I wonder if they sell the package seperately instead of the bundle.

That is strange indeed, if you look @ http://www.navman-europe.com/product....php?id=AA8999 you will see the latest version of the Navman software is SmartST V3 so I'm not sure what they are selling to be honest.
