Cheap Sat Nav / PDA NEW PRICE ! (26/8/06)

yebaws

duuuh.... Just looked in the "false bottom" of my box and found the car kit! Saves me another embarassing call to expansys - called this morning to say the stylus was missing- "have you looked in the side of the pda?"

When you run TomTom on this PDA, can you also use addons like Speed camera overlays?

Jeff,
Do you know what the difference is with Version 5.000 and version 5.210?, and is it worth getting the newer version?.

Jefft_2

I think the main difference is improved interface to the GPS receiver. V5.000 was terrible at locking on to satellites whereas V5.210 is very slow.

TomTom 3 was very good I cannot understand why TomTom do not bring 5 up to the same standard.

Did everone just get one end connector to fit the charger and car charger , seems a bit daft having to keep swapping it all the time.

Hi all,

I have started a thread on this based on its popularity but I am doing my work experience in a company selling GPS systems similar to the TomTom middle range priced at £204.99 for a complete package (includes UK, IReland and Europe maps). Its cool I have used it but be aware that the price will increase at the end of July / August.

Thanks you lot. Good Luck

oops forgot to mention the site! lol

Just bought N500 from Gultronics @£169.20 inc P+P as original post supplier was quoting £184+ last night. Salesperson assured me that Navigon s'ware was included.

Does anyone know where I can get plug in combined WiFi adaptor and extra RAM or name of company that makes them???

From what I've read this is the same as the Roadcom 400 which is currently £25 less in Woolworths and people weren't very complimentary about it either.
