I have bought a ipaq 5550 and now thinking of buying a Navman 3450 voice. One website informed that they have got reports of incompatibility of navman 3450 with ipaq 5450.

I have got the same combination but am having trouble downloading the service pack update from navmans website. Everything seems to be working fine without it at the moment though. My only gripe is the volume which is not very loud when you're in the car. This is apparently an ipaq problem which I have not yet got an answer too.

B3ans the Ipaqs have lowered there volume, what you can do is get FM Radio & Transmitter this means you can tune your radio into your PDA

I have an HP5550 pda and navman 4410 gps. The oral directions are very low so it is difficult to hear them. I spoke with HP who confirmed the sound is low and suggested an ear plug or a speaker. I have read the notes and do not want to use the sound through the car radio as it would deprive my use of the radio. What is a solution to this low sound on the HP5550? Have you used the suggested solution? What is your experience with the suggested solution? Thanks

I would look about for the amlified mounts that you can get now. Make sure it fits with the sleeve on.
