GPS Navigation for Palm T3/Tapwave Zodiac 2

#1 (**permalink**) 20-01-2005, 04:29 PM

Functionality wise is there a preferred solution on the Palm platform (OS 5.2)? Obviously accuracy should be a given, along with an easy readout (both the above devices support landscape mode) and the ability to provide alternative routes at either my behest, or when I've made a mistake and missed a turning. Audible directions would also be a requirement.

Unfortunately I don't know anyone who has such a setup, as all my friends seem to favour Pocket PC.

Hmm. So platform aside, TomTom is the better option? By points of interest, you mean things like GATSO locations? Is this something that NAVMAN doesn't do?

According to Tapwave, the Zodiac does work with bluetooth GPS units, it's the software which is a bit of a problem. However on the Navman site, they state that GPS 4460 is compatible with Zodiac (something that not even Tapwave were aware of, until I phoned them just now).
