I think the Fortuna GPS unit is a pretty reliable option for under 100 quid..

Hello everybody!

I am very new to all this and so am looking for some advice.

I quite like the idea of having sat nav on my phone (Nokia 7610 as the name suggests) and have been looking at TomTom Mobile to install on it.

I know I can get TTM fairly easily and also that I need a bluetooth GPS receiver to accompany the software. I read a thread regarding the cheaper models you can pick up on eBay for around £50 and have since changed my mind!

Would anyone be kind enough to point me in the direction of an affordable alternative?

Would the TomTom receiver be my best bet - although this is around £110 which is slightly more than I was hoping to have to spend. (I know, I want it all for nothing, bu I'm a student, what can I say).

Thanks in advance folks,

Rich

Hi

Thanks for that, only managed a quick look as I'm at work, but would the car charger fit in my UK car? As the wall charger is American and would therefore need an adaptor. I don't really want to have loads of attachments coming out of my lighter socket!

Anybody got any other thoughts?

Or what i should be looking for when I research these products as I really have no idea what to look for!

Thanks

Rich

I feel the exact same way. I wish I knew what to be looking for.
