|
|
Hi All
I'm currently running TT5.1 on my QTEK 9090 with a Rikaline BT. I find the system highly performant although prone to problems on the bluetooth side.
Now, I'm selling my PDA and will probably take a dedicated GPS instead - living in central Europe I regularly drive in many countries and the TT700 is the logical choice.
My questions:
Will I find my TT700 as performant as my PDA, is it likely to be better or worse.
Now that TT One has the SSIII chipset, surely it's a matter of time until the 700 is upgraded, better to wait until then I think? Any news on this?
Are there any other makes that offer whole Europe door to door that I should consider?
Cheers
Dave |

The 700 has a 400 MHz processor, so performance is on par with the PPC
I doubt there will ever be a SiRF III upgrade for the GO series. The new chipset will only be available in future devices. _________________ Lutz

Well I guess it doesn't have to be a TT GO as such but I can't see how they can have their base product having the better chipset than the flagship device for much longer. |

I bought a Garmin Nüvi 350 and am very happy with it. |

I think the Go will always be faster - I have an Ipaq 4700 which has a fairly fast processer but a Tom Tom Go500 calculates routes a bit faster.
Nothing to worry me and I put it down to the Go being 'designed' for calculating routes where as a PPC just happens to be able to do it but with more calculation involved.... any other sugestions welcome... |
