Hi

I have an Acer n50p and have just installed tt5 Navigator on it and then updated to v 5.1, without any problems. I use it with a GPSlim 236 sat receiver. It is mounted in the car with an Arkon powered cradle.

Updating the POI's with Pocket GPS POI-Sync was a breeze (thanks Team).

Also I have had no probs with the bluetooth rec/ppc connection.

There's really nothing else that I can add - mainly 'cause I am new to all this and have got most of my info from pocketgpsworld (thanks again).

hi tad:

Hi gune

It is indeed the Holux receiver.

It possibly is cheaper to buy the arkon cm885 £95 (from Morpeth Mobiles)

I had already bought the Holux receiver (£60inc vat approx ebay) and was looking for a car cradle - I bought a cheap one which was utter crap - when I "discovered" Arkon and consequently bought the basic powered car cradle (£32+vat Clove Technology - whose service is brilliant (not associated with them!)).

Can't comment on the integrated receiver of the cm885.

Hi gune

Sorry, didn't complete.

Yes the n50/holux is my sole gps set up and, as I say, I am very much a newbe to satnav so please bear this in mind when you're making any purchasing decisions.

Hope you find the above of some use
