Pda/sat nav Help for total newbie please

[Colesy]

Hi guys,
1st off let me apologise for me asking this type of question again. I have read and searched through this helpful site, but I am just getting more and more confused.
I currently have no pda but was thinking about the Hp 4150 because of the wi-fi and bluetooth. Wifi for transmitting files between pc and Bluetooth probably being my solution for the sat nav.
Now what I was looking to get is a portable sat nav bluetooth solution, which can do postcodes. I would like to be able to remove it from the car and possibly carry it around city centres when on foot.
I would also need a good car mount, maybe of a suction type.
I have no idea which solution is best for me, so any advise would be great.
Many thanks

Hi Colesy,

to the forum.

Firstly which country are you located in? Please update your profile.

I’ll assume that you’re in the UK, so apologies if you’re not. If you need Wi-Fi then the 4150 is a good choice, I’ve not seen many negative comments about it in this forum. Alternatively you could go for a 5550, although they do suffer from quiet speakers. If Wi-Fi isn’t an issue then a lot of people use the 2210 and transfer data via the included cradle/charger.

As for Postcode in the UK, none of the packages offer 100% out-of-the-box usage. However if you go for TomTom Navigator 3 with the free Post Codes add on written by Niels Thomsen then you will get a good set-up.

I use the generic TomTom windscreen suction mount and have found it to be very reliable. It’s not as nice looking as say a Brodit mount, but it does the job.

Regards,

Thanks Privateer. I have updated my profile.
I was thinking about TT3. I have had a look at the http://www.tomtom.com/products/products.php?ID=238&Language=1
but is doesn't seem to do Southern or Northern Ireland, which is a shame. Not vitally important for me, but would be nice to have.
Any body have any ideas if I can take this GPS receiver out and about in my pocket, or will it drain too quickly?

Thanks in advance
