    I use the P900 with wayfinder. It's great.
  • Nokia 6630 with TomTom 5 also works well
  • You cant go wrong with either the 6680 or 6630 with tomtom.Both work brilliantly.
  • You may also try nav4all, it free until 8.15 :)

    get the software from https://www.nav4all.com

    Sony Ericsson P910i with TomTom Mobile 5 works fine too - nice big screen and easy set up.

    Toon, you'll need a bluetooth GPS receiver, the more channels the better however anything over 12 is more than capable. You'll need a reasonable sized memory card, personally im running with a 256mb in my 6680 cos the new tomtom is 129mb, then you need to get the satnav software for the phone, there are of course several ways of getting this software, if you have any problems drop me a PM.

    Hi Phatbear,

    I've already got a version of TomTom for my 6680, but am looking for a decent (and obviously cheap) GPS receiver, do you have any recommendations or leads.
