SAT NAV with intrinsically safe cert.

ronslost

Hi all, new boy here, please be gentle ! Wink

I drive tankers for a living and I've just changed companies, and they don't allow any electrical eqipment in the cabs ( even my personal mobile ! Surprised

)
I'm finding the change over from my old company a bit difficult as the customers have strange names...i.e. empire garage is actually in Enfield, and Halfmoon is in Epping ! I do have post codes , but they won't allow satnav in the cabs because of the electrical certs... ( double shielded etc...) is anyone aware of a system which is ok for this use ? or do i have to keep being naughty...?

I'm not aware of one, it's a rather niche requirement so little market for such a solution?

while I'm here... I've decided to go with a Nokia N70 with tom tom mobile installed as an emergency router... can some nice well seasoned forum member point me in the right direction regarding compatability, and if tom tom still drops out etc ?... or has a patch been made available.
this looks lke my cheapest way through this.(unless you know otherwise ? Laughing

thanks in advance for any help.........

the problem of tomtom droping out was due to the phone dropping the bluetooth connection how are you getting the n70 as you will need a gps receiver as well as the pohne is your on contract if your with t-mobile or o2 then have a look at the mda compact 3 and the xda oribit the have gps receivers on the device and come bundled with copilot6
