|
|
Hi Guys
I currently have a HP 2210 and TomTom Navigator using the original wired GPS receiver I got when I bought TTN V3.
I am considering upgrading to an Xda Exec, and am trying to understand what car mounts are available to connect it all up..... can I get an updated holder, and keep everything else, or do I have to get a BT GPS receiver?
Any help you can give would be great.
Thanks |

the wired gps unit won't work with the Exec, so you will need a BT GPS unit, for a mount try Brodit, the swivel + Pro clip is great - Mike |

Thanks Mike
Assuming I use a BT GPS receiver, will I be able to use a BT car kit or BT headset with the Xda Exec at the same time... i.e. can you have more than one BT connection to the Xda?
Cheers |

You might want to look at the Parrot CK3300, which is a combined BT car phone kit and sat nav receiver. It still uses 2 seperate BT connections, but that should be OK for Pocket PC systems as they support multiple BT connections. If interested check Parrot's website http://www.parrot.biz/united_kingdom/index.php for compatability with your phone. _________________ Peter

Cheers | Yes the Exec will support this no problems at all, as for a GPS BT unit go for one with the SiRF III chipset, they are far better at getting signals in heavily built up areas (city centre etc) the 236 unit I have is probably the best purchase I have made in quite a while - Mike |

I've found the integration to be pretty good between my Exec, my Haicom SS3 BT receiver (brilliant signal) and my Motorola BT Headset (HS805 rings a bell - takes rechargeable AAA's which last forever).
The voicedial still works (although there is a delay before it kicks in as TomTom dominates the CPU), the TT guidance is automatically muted during a call and unmuted at the end. Only occasionally does it get out of sync and I hear the guidance via the headset or the call pickup doesn't work.
I use the Exec in Landscape mode sitting on an oddments tray on top of the dash, with charge cables to both the Exec and the BT receiver.
