Independent GPS (Garmin) or GPS PDA phone like Dopod 810

[Onlyyouknow]

For Mapking 2007 can also get map updates from malsingmaps. Just need to do a really simple conversion from the g10 version.

 

I think a lot of ppl are not aware cos I register with malsingmap and took some time to read about the related topics. There are more PDA+GPS to stand alone users there. Maybe u can pay a visit to learn more.

 

I would like to know what models are there available for PDA phones. I've got a 838 pro and would like to get the GPSr only. Did you have to pay for the software, Mapking 2007? Total damage how much ah?

Hi,

 

If considering GPS receiver(s), what brand and model should one consider?

 

Thanks!

 

Sorry for bringing up old thread as I can't make new.

 

I've read many of the GPS related thread here and finally decide to go with the free malsing maps. As I understand, it works with Garmin GPS devices as well as PDA.

 

Before I buy a Garmin standalone GPS, I'm thinking of trying out the PDA option first and see if the malsing maps is good for my purpose; after all I've a O2 mini lying around collecting dust.

 

Anyway, long story short, would like to find out

1) what GPS receiver brand/model is the best & what's the damage?

2) does this PDA+GPSr+bluetooth setup have TTS (text to speech; "turn left 50m..")?

 

I'll be setting this up in my ride.

 

In fact, if anyone can loan me a GPS receiver to test out this setup before I get a standalone Garmin, it'll be great ;)

 

Thanks for viewing!

if you get Garmin, you can have only Malsing map

Just get a old PDA and play around first.

This is what i did, can load both Malsing and Mapking.

Ya, planning to "play around" with the old pda first, but must get a GPS receiver.

 

Anyway, I've found this new HG100 HUD GPS receiver from eastgear, very cool can project the stats on the windscreen some more . Anyone use it before? I did a search here and no result.

Initiall, i wanted to get the rikaline as I read it has auto-on (unit on when u start the car and off when u off the ignition) which may be useful; the Holux does not have this feature? However, it seems like eastgear do not have rikaline anymore?

 

Also, I know malsing maps can get free, but where to get the map king maps for PDA? Thanks!
