| |  PDA to SAT/NAV
I don't know if this is a daft question, but is it possible to convert a PDA to a SAT/NAV system. I already have access to the mapping material disc for the U.K
I will be grateful if anyone can supply an answer and also what extra equipment is needed, if possible with a guideline priice(s).
Thanks you for any answers. |

Welcome to our forums.
If you have a read around our site you will see thats not such a daft question.
It's totally possible. Which CD do you have and do you have a PDA already? |

The Palm T5 isn't supported by a lot of software at the moment. I'm not familiar with Medion 4.2 but I'm sure it's a PocketPC app and won't work with your T5 either. You'll a GPS receiver but we'd need to know which iPAQ you have to recommend one. |

I would be looking to use the u.k mapping and occasionally French mapping.
Hope you can advise further.

Then you Medion software should work with the 5450...you'll still need a GPS receiver. I believe the 5450 has Bluetooth so you can get a Bluetooth or cabled receiver. |

Can you tell me the range of prices and also what you would recommend.
Thanks again,
