go for the fortuna slimline, just got mine and rate it 10/10. it uses the same chip set as the new tom tom unit. |

thanks for the advice,
is the fortuna the best one i could buy???
i really would like a 20 channel version.
i've heard that bt recievers other than the original tomtom ones need to have some sort of software patch installed before they will work, is this true???
thanks. |

just received the fortuna slim works fine with ttm5 upgrade
it is a 20 satellite gps
need this lot here to do a comparison
no patch needed for mine, i'm using nokia 6600 but all i had to do was pair the two and select other gps device in tomtom gps settings
got mine from "global positioning systems"
ordered friday received monday. |

bought the ttm5 reciever in the end as it was only £10 more than the fortuna.
again thanks for all the advice. |
