SatNav solution for my car using a PDA

#1 (**permalink**) 15-07-2005, 10:59 AM

Hi all,

Just signed up to the forum,

I would like to get a cheap GPS system for my car

Does anyone know a cheap PDA (doesnt need to be fast) that can run the TomTom Navigation 5 software well? Theres the software going for £8 on ebay (with speed camera support), im looking to spend about £200 on the kit.

How much does a Okish GPS reciver cost?, can anyone advice me on a decent package?

Ta!

Welcome to our forums.
The software on Ebay is pirate. Do not buy it. I think the Mitac Mio 168 is one of the cheaper systems available.

Thanks, i will take a look into it

Do you know of a cheap GPS reciver? how do they plug into the PDA?

as you can see i dont know a great deal about PDAs, suppose i should get one anyway as I work in I.T

EDIT: just noticed that the PDA comes with a GPS reciever installed, cool

would that GPS be ok running the tomtom software if i buy it?
