i am using a dopod 818pro.

i do not have any map, but when i bought my gps receiver, my vendor actually install for me free.

 

to the TS, i am using dopod+gps receiver, but i would still prefer a standalone gps if i have the extra cash.

I'm using a D810 and have used a bluetooh Holux GPS adaptor before with my old O2 atom. A bit distracting if you need to make a call while the GPS is on but no need to charge so many things the car.

Definitely Garmin Nuvi set, not to mention PDA phone or even the N95, if you thinking between PDA phone or N95 then it is better to get the PDA phone cos it is more stable than Nokia symbian phone.

Hi, I'm using Palm Treo 750v with GPS receiver(Holux Slim236). Using Mapking 2007.

 

I've been using it for more than a month now. Price wise I try to get cheap ones of course.

 

Total damage: Treo($698-M1) + GPS receiver cum sg map ($159)

 

I got other accessories like a stereo plug($6) to connect to Treo plus a double sided stereo audio jack($10) to plug into my Civic's AUX in. This way I can listen to the navigation whether to turn left or right loud and clear.

 

The Treo was a steal to me cos it came with the premium pack which contains extra charger, extra batt, cradle which can charge phone and extra batt at the same time, car charger, extra styluses.

 

Oh I also have to get a car cradle which cost $16.

 

I must say it's fun, Navigation and street directory at the palm of your hands.

 

Stand alone I find it very ex and u have to hide it from prying eyes after u leave your car.

I would prefer a Garmin as it will have at least a 3.5" screen. ie, Nuvi 3xx.

Those bundled with phone features, normally the screen size is roughly about 2.7" max..ie. Mio A70x, Dopod..

 

At least get the Nuvi 310, with Bluetooth so can pair up with your phone.. Can use the Garmin to call/pick the call.

i have a O2 atom life, is there any GPS receiver for this model too?? if yes i will just get the receiver rather than the whole gadget for Garmin

Here's another tot. Get a PDA GPS (none phone). This way, you can still use your current phone and use the PDA as a GPS when you are driving. Yes, you have to carry another device but I think this is better as I look at it as, if I just want my phone, I don't have to carry this huge thing with me all the time. not to mention, the PDA/GPS devices are a little cheaper as well. dedicated GPS is the best if you have the money and really need to use GPS all the time, if not, then a PPC device is a good consideration.

U can get any bluetooth GPS receiver + software and map.

 

U'll be good to go. As for software, as long as it's any Windows OS it'll work.

[Ghostrider]

You can still make calls and receive calls (with BT headset) even when the GPS is working. If the HP 6828 can do it...I believe most other PDA phone would be able to do it.
