Does your set up allow the use of the new 'quickgpsfix' download? _________________ Tomtom GO 1005 LIVE

Hello Fslkirk81 .... this feature is not available to my knowledge on TT 6 on a PDA
Steve.. was this a built up area ie. high building - lots of trees etc.

QGPS or aGPS is available for some PDA devices that also run TTN6, however the device in question here does not use the QGPS/ aGPS system - Mike |

The PDA would have to have GPS hardware built in to the PDA for a start, it would also have to be a specific type of receiver, your 214 doesn't have built in GPS IIRC?
The most prevalent PDA based devices that do use this QGPS etc are the HTC derived PDA based phones, Artemis, Ameo, Touch Cruise, Tytn, etc - Mike |
