XDAIIi + TomTom Nav5 + TomTom MKII Bluetooth GPS For SALE

Hi there.
I am wanting to sell my XDAIIi, complete with TomTom Navigator 5 and my TomTom MKII SIRFIII Bluetooth GPS Receiver.
I am looking for £250 for the lot.
The XDAIIi is in mint condition. No scratches either on the case or the screen. Comes with all the bits. I.e. box, manual, cradle, charger, cables, battery ect. Also a aluminium hard case with slots for spare SD/MMC Cards. As I said, it's in perfect condition plainly because it's been in the metal case all it's life. I have hardly ever used it for it's PDA functions, hence this is why i am selling it. I have upgraded it's ROM to the latest version from the o2 website.
Another thing to mention, it is unlocked using the natty tool from this website.
Also, the TomTom Navigator 5 comes with all the discs that I bought from TomTom.com I have only registered TomTom on the XDAIIi that I am selling so it will work fine. Comes complete with all the discs for europe mapping + the application disc, manual, registration card ect.
The TomTom MKII SIRFIII Bluetooth GPS Reciever comes complete with box and all the chargers and cables.
For £250, I think it's a resonable price for something which is basically new.
If they have any questions or would like to see some pictures of any of the items.
Hope someone is interested. I would prefer to only sell it to UK People due to the high shipping costs. Unless you are willing to be a little extra to cover the costs?
Warmest Regards,
Chris

Hi everyone, just to let you know I sold the XDAIIi Tuesday morning.
Sorry I forgot to post a reply in this topic.
Cheers,
Chris

Tomtom with O2 Exec or Tomtom one

Hi,
I know some of you would be annoyed with me posting a topic which has been discussed on this forum but after searching a lot on this forum i could not decide whether to buy a bluetooth GPS reciever or Tomtom one?
I have tomtom software 5.21 with the maps and dont mind struggling a bit initially ( for the 1st time i mean ) to get the bluetooth GPS running with Exec but just want to ask all of those who are using their Exec with tomtom few questions.
How easy is it to use Exec with tomtom in day to day life?
Has anybody used both and what do they prefer and why?
Which GPS is the best cos i have seen few with 32 channel etc etc?
Thanx in advance!!
Jatt

I've been using TomTom on my Exec since about November last year, and to be honest, I wouldn't even consider getting a full TomTom device.
I've got a BT-77 GPS (about £45 off eBay), wired permanently on in my car (I've also got a second if I need to use it elsewhere), and had NO PROBLEMS WHATSOEVER getting it to work - in fact, I'm bemused at why the whole Bluetooth/GPS issue is such a big one. I simply paired the two, and set up a port - no messing about unhiding the GPS applet etc. Easy.
I've got a Brodit mount in the car - very good. I've also got a Parrot hands-free, so the Exec does everything in the car - phone and sat nav (with Traffic).
Downsides? Well, sometimes the Exec can take an age to start TomTom, but other than that, I'm struggling to think of any.
Cheers,
Steve.

Same rig as above poster (SPV m5000,Tt 5.21 & BT77 GPS receiver) but did have a little trauma with the Tomtom port problem at first :evil: found the solution here though and now it's all good! Tomtom does suck the life out of that minuscule battery though, so a powered mount or a decent car charger are a must. As for the amount of receiver channels - the more the better (for tracking ability - look for ones with the SIRF III chip-set) i believe. Hope this helps

Thanks Oink1 and StevePritchard
I have ordered HOLOX Bluetooth GPS Reciever 32 Channel 4 TomTom from Ebay and it has SIRF III chip-set aswell.
Will let you know how it is for me
Bye

I have been using my Exec with TTN 5.21 for approaching a year now and use it with a SysOn 20 Channel SiRF Star Bluetooth GPS, brilliant piece of kit.
I wouldn't worry about the high end of GPS channel tracking as 12 - 20 suffices. The only problem that I've experienced was keeping the pairing but otherwise it works exceptionally.

Hi all,
Which software version of tomtom supports full postal code directions?
Thanks for all ur input
Bye

tomtom5, but I have a cd with another one, have no idea which.

tomtom 5 is good but bit outdated it should work just fine with any bluetooth receiver, just make sure when buying a receiver check out the specs like if its the latest sirfIII and check out how many channels it can recieve obviously higher the better.

From Argentina
Hi, i live in Argentina, so i dont use the TomTom.
I bought on eBay a BT GPS, brand i-Blue.
It works fine, and i even get satellite reception inside my home (the sensibility is awsome).
Im using a vectorial map of my country which is fully routeable, and runs with Garmin QUE software on the PDA.
Since Garmin requires the GPS to be a Garmin one, i have a software call franson which emulates a Garmin GPS based on the iBlue Data.
There is also an open-source solution to this, but its a little tricky.
When you buy a BT GPS, check out how many satellites it can handle, battery life, and try to get one with and external antena MMCX connector.
I got mine for about 60 bucks plus shipping.
It uses a cheap Nokia-cellphone battery so i can replace it cheap.
Excuse my english, im spanish.
Ps: to get maps working into garming QUE, you just put the MiniSD on the computer, open Mapsource (garmin version of QUE for the PC) and download the maps to the Flash. Then, when you start the QUE, it will load the maps by itself.

How to use GPS on Htc 8525?

hi guys, i want to use GPS on my htc 8525 but i dont know how. Can u tell me some options to use GPS on htc 8525 without paying any monthly charges? I heard about gps reciever or microsd card gps etc... but i dont know how. help me thank you

Get TomTom or another GPS software that doesn't use data, and pick yourself up a bluetooth GPS receiver. When I had my 8525 I had a GlobalSat BT-359W receiver that I picked up @ Amazon and TomTom 6 and it worked like a charm. I've since upgraded to a Tilt (built in GPS) and TomTom 7.
You will have to pick up at least a 1 GB microSD card because the TomTom maps are 600 - 800 mb...depending on which ones you get. I would recommend something bigger though.

Hi there, i just bought a GlobalSat BT-359w like your and i have tomtom software too? so how can i make it work on my phone now. plz help thanks
