TT700 vs PDA Performance and what about SirfStar III?

[dabby]

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.

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...

Why not get the one with its better chipset,and then get the all of europe card from tomtom?
