OK - I've probably grown over-reliant on my trust TomTom, and I like to have it when driving on holiday. Now, you can get TomTom maps for Europe easily enough, and also for North America, but this time I'm venturing further afield to New Zealand.
Currently TomTom only offers Australian maps for that part of the world, so I looked elsewhere and discovered Navman offer SmartST 2005 with NZ maps (Memory-Map is to have a Street Map offering by the end of March - too late for me).
Fair enough, I'll swallow the cost (£99 from the Navman site http://www.navmanstores.com/eu/product_details.php?id=286 - seems to be the only place I can get it). However, I need a GPS receiver. Currently I have the HP iPaq rz1710 Navigation Pack, which I have upgraded to TomTom 5.2x. Of course this comes with a wired GPS which plugs into the cradle rather than the PDA itself.
My question is, can I use this TomTom wired GPS unit with the Navman software, or do I need to go out and get anther GPS unit (like the Globalsat SD-502)?
PS - I know NZ isn't that hard to navigate in - been there before, but I enjoy the security of SatNav. _________________ TomTom HP Navigation Pack (old)

If anyone is interested, Navman SmartST-2005 does work with the GPS and cradle hardware provided with the HP Navigation Pack. It'll be interesting to compare the products. _________________ TomTom HP Navigation Pack (old)
