I have been looking for a PDA-based system. I almost decided on TT GPS BT + TT3 + IPAQ 2210 when some friends points me to this forum and I saw so many complaints about the dropout problems (Thank you!). I am under the impression that the problem happens to all IPAQs including H4150.

I still want to go for TT GPS BT + TT3 for the sake of POI. But which PDA would work with this combination reliably? Better if the PDA comes with a CF slot as the forum here seems to suggest the CF card is faster/reliable than SD.

Thank you.

The only issue with the 2210, BT dropouts and TT is it is fussy about SD cards. If you use CF for maps then it works perfectly.

My 2210 is my workhorse, test bed and review unit and is used every day with TTN3, TT BT and CF memory and never misses a beat.

Thank you very much, Darren. It is certainly reassuring and let me rethink the combination again. One further question, my impression from reading the forum is that POI is one of the sources of the problem (race condition?) and people have to quit POI in order to run TT3 on TT GPS BT more smoothly. What's your experience on this?

The problems only appear when the memory card is being accessed heavily, using POIs places greater stress on the card.

If you stick to CF memory for map storage (you can use SD for MP3's and all other data, only map access seems to stress the system) then none of these issues will manifest themselves Thumbs Up
