 |
|
Hi,
I have just upgraded to a HP 6340, I will be changing over my tomtom 3 software shortly - however is the wired GPS going to work if I get the car kit sorted out?
If not, what is the best bluetooth GPS to get, also what are the cheap ones like? Seen the X50 for about 80 quid.
Thanks in advance guys

No, wired GPS is not an option (apart from the exotic serial > IR adapter like for the 1910) .
If you buy a cheap GPS receiver you will get cheap performance. Your call.

will this work as a wired GPS? Also who in the UK supplies this equipment as I can not find anyone.

that might work, but you will need a special driver for this USB > Serial converter cable. Can't you purchase it directly in the Netherlands?

I've just ordered the carcomm mount from totalpda, they knocked it down to £80 + VAT as I have had a few problems getting through to them (I think due to number of callers asking about TT5).
I am expecting delivery tomorrow so as soon as I get it all set up and tested I will put a review/feedback on the forum.
Must say I am hopeful that everything will go smoothly with it as I want to hardwire it in at the weekend. |
