First time buyer of GPS unit and I need help choosing the right one. Thanks.
Btw, has to work in the UK.
I wouldn't dare say flawless , but the last 2 times i went to GB i didnt experience any problems with my current GPS receiver which is the
Rikaline Bluetooth GPS receiver 6033
this model is generally 20-30euros more expensive than the standard ones but it uses an advanced chipset to even get fixes in buildings and tunnels and can maintain more connections at once.
Manufacturers Site
Cheap one from www.mobilefun.co.uk
http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/product/8590.htm
£40! and works a treat.
Probably not as good as the Rikaline or the Holux 236 which is by far the best i've tried but for they are nearly double the price
Even uses the same kind of charger as the Wizard so effectively you get a free in-car charger for you PPC thrown in.
I successfully use a generic Nemerix based GPS mouse from adapt. You can find these rather cheap GPS device in many varities (lots of OEM manufacturers) on eBay.
In conjunction with TT5.2 it works like a charm.
Any suggestions for a good light GPS to fasten in the helmet. I have plans to track my routes during mountainbike tours.
GPS...
What a topic...
I have spent some time investigating the options for me...
I am a newbie on the PPC front and I am after my first GPS set up too...
OK everyone points at TomTom as the best option...is this so?
Any feedback will be greatly received and if I do go for it, I will probably go for their bundle...
For those running TTN5 on thier Wizards, please advise the speed and any issues...many thanks...

TomTom is also my #1 for road navigation.
What are the best choices for free-time navigation? Some candidates:
Pathaway, http://www.pathaway.com/pathaway3wm.htm, WM5 compatible?
OziExplorer, http://www.oziexplorer.com/
cant fault the holux 236
Nemerix
Hi,
I am using this GPS mouse (NEMERIX V3.0 Ultra Low Power Chipset). Simple installation, simple use, long battery life, cute size - my favourite!
U can get it e.g. here:

Im using a BT77 Bluetooth GPS. It provides a really great signal even inside, however I have had problems with the wizard, in that I have to drop and then re-partner the device in bluetooth, everytime I want to use it, but Im currently thinking its the MS Bluetooth stack at fault and not the Device, anyone have a similar experience ?
Hi,
I already have the tomtom wired gps receiver which i use with my ipaq 2210. I know the receiver connector wont fit onto my wizard but is there any kind of adapter that will change it from ipaq to wizard (min usb i think).
cheers

Afraid not. Wired receivers will not work on Wizard/K-Jam etc.. full stop. you need to get a BT GPS receiver.
I picked a cheap one up from www.mobilefun.co.uk for £40 and works a treat. 5 fixes even in car glove box
The Tomtom Bt Gps is the easiest one to connect to the wizard, other brands u may need to set comm ports in Tomtom navigator.
So far I tested Holux SIRF3, Tomtom MK2, Leadtek sirf3, all were working fine.
my Tomtom MKIII works perfectly with Wiz.
I'm using a BT880 picked up on ebay (new) for £30.
Works fine with my qtek (imate rom) and tomtom5.
Please guys help me!
I'm fighting to bring a BT GPS with an MDA III to work, but nooo luck and I'm getting very very sad...
I've discovered so far that with the official ROM 1.42 (WM2003SE) it works fine when I manually start the BT connection with serial port service.
Now the problem is that in WM5 and WM6 there is no manual connection ability (maybe another "smart feature") and there is the ****ing GPS Driver of WM. So I'm trying to get a TomTom 6.03 and an iGO to work but nothing at all
Really tried nearly all combinations to configure but zero luck.
It's totally disappointing....
Please tell me how do you use you BT GPS
UPDATE: problem solved with Xplode-s new ROM.
I installed WM6 (nbd.v9.0) on my HTC Wizard (it used to be a T-MOBILE MDA)
When I install IGO, it connects to 1 satelite max. And mostly it doesn't find any at all.
I use a GPS mouse from KEOMO which is connected to gate 7.
I have all settings as it used to work with WM5.
Has anyone got any experience or idea how this might be caused?

Thanks on forehand!
Hi all first post so please be gentle
I have as per title m700 on orange network unlocked for use with me vodafone
it works great i have been reading these forums for weeks now and have updated me radio rom to
1.56.70.11 so me gps works ok in tomtom 6.
me main gripe is with noni gps or any other hiking program i have had trouble with them all.
if im stationary in the app it show the cross moving all over the screen i thinks its to do with static navigation but for the life of me cant find a way to turn it off.
i have tryed sirf3 apps but then found out its not a sirf3 chip DOH.
I then tryed connecting my bluetooth gps dongle but it wont work in noni gps it wont find it like on me other pda (hp ipaq rx3715).
any advice on getting static nav off would be great because at the moment im using me ipaq for hiking and me m700 for the car but want to use just the spv m700.
thanks in advance
p.s me other device info is
operator ver 19.123.1.6
rom ver 1.23.61.5
rom date 01/25/07
radio rom 1.56.70.11
protocol ver 32.89.7020.20h
p.p.s allso may upgrade to wm6.1 in future any advice on that to?.
thanks again.

Hi:
Is it possible to use the trinity as an external BT GPS?
Yhe idea is connecting it to a pc and running gps applications on the pc using the trinity gps like if it was a normal BT GPS.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
