This is a NON T-MOBILE unit which has no dedicated Simcard setup (UNLOCKED) straight from HP in Thailand, does anyone have any experience with this new IPAQ PDA Phone, I shall be collecting one this week and am looking to use it with a Bluetooth GPS, I currently use an XDAII with Rikaline X7, they work just great with TOMTOM-3, NAVIGATOR and MEMORY MAP software but having obtained this new IPAQ for my brother I would be interested to find peoples views on what is currently the best "Bluetooth" GPS to use.

Regards
Ian

The 6315 is an excellent all-rounder. You will have to understand that it has a slow processor (168 MHz) and not too much RAM (56 MB). Apart from that it has everything you may want. (Ok, no VGA screen) and then some.

I don't understand your second question - please be more specific. Asking "What is the best unit" is not helpful.

The BT stack on the 6315 is very complete, and the iPAQ works well with any BT GPS receiver.

My personal favourite is the DeLorme Blue Logger - because it has data logging with 50000 data points.

I have a HP iPAQ 6300 and a TOMTOM 3 navigator with a Bluetooth gps antenna.

I have so far not been able to get a GPS fix as the connection between the iPAQ and the antenna is terminated after app. 2 minutes.

What should the settings be? :Which com port? Paired or unpared? Encryption.

Please help.
