Palm Treo 680

Hi,
After posting elsewhere and not getting anywhere, I thought I'd try here.

I am looking for a sat nav solution for the Palm 680 which uses a Bluetooth receiver, allows me to add custom POIs such as the camera database and which has accurate, up to date maps of Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. This last point rules out TomTom software, as they do not have good enough coverage, Ireland is not even mentioned in their map coverage blurbs. There are plenty of good solution out there for PPC PDAs, but not, it would seem, for the Palm OS.

Can anybody point me at any other alternatives? Thanks very much.

Stefan.

I was using the Palm T3 but the latest maps are not available for that so I have moved to a One XL.

I've just checked the TomTom site and it shows the latest maps for the Treo are v6.75 which does have good coverage of Ireland. You have to choose Navigator 5 to get the options.

Direct link to TomTom page

Hope this helps.

Do not buy the TomTom Navigator 6.
There has been a problem which neither TomTom nor Palm have fixed.
I upgraded from my Palm Treo 650 to a 680 and have been very disappointed with the performance of the 680 considering it is an upgrade on a 3 year old design I was hoping it would fly..... and to top it all Navigator 6 will not work and when I search the internet there is lots about it being a problem.
TomTom have posted a fix but it doesn't fix the problem.
I now leave my 650 in the car with nothing but the TomTom software on it and carry the 680 about as a phone.
