Hi - my country hasnt got tomtom maps. I have a bluetooth GPS paired to my JasJar. . Does anyone know any application where i can put down my own way points and navigate using the Jasjar in connection with the Bluetooth GPS from point topoint.
tks

Where are you from?
I have "normal" navigation to "on-road" and OziExplorer to bike off-road trips... It can work, but it is without voice instructions...
Thanks
Thats interesting. I am from sri lanka. How can i get that software that you use.

anyone can tell me how to download the map coming with garmin into xdaII and use it (xdaII) as GPS with tomtom or any other tools
Tomtom comes with its own maps, all you need is a connecting lead from the garmin to the xda2. It will use com 1 so make sure in settings/connections/beams that the beams box is unchecked.
You can't use Garmin maps with TomTom, map format is completely different.
I use my Garmin GPS V as GPS receiver in combination with TomTom.
But the features of the Garmin GPS software are much more advanced than TomTom's. TomTom is ok for driving from point a to point b, but you can't create your own routes on the pc, like with the Garmin Mapsource software.
It's a pitty Garmin doesn't make GPS software for the Pocket PC...
thanks cruisin-thru but do tom tom have maps for saudi arabia
thanks joe,
I am using garmin 3+
Khalid, I dont think so, however any nmea compliant mapping program will work with your garmin/xda2 and the proper cable.
Thanks cruisin
Hey,
I have purchased a BT-74R Bluetooth GPS receiver from ebay for my Orange SPV M600
I was wondering if anyone else has this receiver, or a similar one, and what version of TomTom are they using?
Just so I can get my PDA going with a version of TomTom that works with it!
Thanks!!
I have it, it is brilliant. Quick start up and strong signal, you can even get a good signal inside the house.
I have tested a number of SAT NAV programs, they all work perfectly with this phone and receiver, TOMTOM is the best so far for me, if IGO ever introduce Speed Camera Pois then it would probably win.
I had a question regarding this devices bluetooth GPS capablities.
Is there any necessary software to install on the device to use it as a GPS screen?
My intentions are to buy a bluetooth GPS receiver and link it to the phone. There is no way on earth i would pay cingular 9.99 a month for GPS that is already provided free by the government.
Has anyone had any luck linking a generic bluetooth gps receiver with the device? And if someone could please direct me to the GPS software for the device if there is such a thing.
I use a Garmin GPS10. it comes with the GPS software. it runs about $120. works well but most people seem to perfer TomTom.
eith way ypu pay a flat fee for the software and GPS receiver.
I bought a GPS receiver QSTARZ Q818 and it's working perfectly on my 8525 using Google Maps !!! and except for the receiver ($75) everything else is free !!! .. easy to set up and to use. But there is no voice ...

Bought a bt359 gps receiver for $99 from cingular and use live search (free) from microsoft. Has live traffic indicators and maps works great.
john
Voice?
Well I took the sucker punch and got the Tomtom...
Does anyone know where i would be able to download USA maps for the device?
I bought it - and took it back promptly... the GPS they sell only puts out Siirf protocol and not the NMEA. This caused only specific apps to work for me. Perhaps something was screwy on my phone but I could not get ViaVIsualEarth and GoogleMaps to function - but did not try Live Search.

Hi,
Does anyone recommend and GPS navigation products for the prophet? I have been looking around, and have had conflicting views on the TomTom mobile platform.
Any recommendations?
Cheers
I'm using iGo 2006 Plus with full Europe maps on only 1 GB SD card!
This program is very fast and optical very nice, because it's based on a game engine by PDAMill!

i'm using mapking, gpsgate with holux bluetooth device= Never let me down
iGo is the best
currently using holux bt gps receiver & garmin que s/w. not much maps/programs for us here in NZ. no problems using them
Used TT6 and a SiRF Star III bluetooth antenna for a while with no problems.
I use...
Tom Tom 6 with a generic bluetooth gps receiver, with Europe and North America maps on a 4 Gb SD card. Works beautifully, starts quickly and reliably.
I usually use it in the car (with a car windshield suction mount)
I have been using Google maps (free) with a gprs/edge connection but there is no voice guidance. I have a holux slim 240 bluetooth gps receiver which works good but sometimes it takes some time to find the satellites initially.
Destinator with Hollux
A Hollux receiver and Destinator 6.x works great for me.

GPS with Prophet
Most software are not bad..Best of all is the GarminXT with BT Holux 236.
I use TT6 and an Adadpt SirfIII BT reciever.
tried numerous other nav systems, but this one works the best around all europe, IMO.
I'm a courier IRL, so i have sh*tloads of experience with satnav systems

Does anyone know or is it possable that the MDA is capable of running a GPS? I tried to put TOM TOM on it, but it kept saying can't find any maps. Has anyone had any luck in trying to put one on thier device?
I have a bluetooth GPS receiver and have TOM TOM on a storage card and it runs great. The maps cost money and you can manage them through the TOM TOM home application on your pc.
I have IGo installed and use an Asus BT GPS receiver, works fine.

Most people use Bluetooth GPS receivers for this kind of thing. The wizard does not have a GPS radio in it though, so you have to use an external GPS receiver.
If you're willing to sacrifice accuracy and automation for step-by-step directions that you manually step through, try Google Maps. In addition to being a very good (and very FREE) mapping tool, it can do radio triangulation so, if you're utterly lost, it can at least show you where you are within about 2000 meters. Much better than nothing at all.
I got lost once on the way to an acquaintance's house, and used Gmaps. By typing in the street address where I was lost at, and the desired destination, it got me back on track in a real hurry. Indispensable for those without funds for GPS receivers.
