so i could get this http://www.expansys.com/product.asp?code=1...partner=froogle

and then a wired/bluetooth gps reciever and i'm done?

if possible i'd want it to point out those sneaky speed cameras too, would i have to buy some software for this or will that come included with the reciever?

yep, sounds about right. dont use expansys tho, way too expensive, and i'd reccommend a wired gps, its more cables but no batteries and they dont drop out at important moments like on a roundabout in heavy traffic lol

speed camera poi's dont come with tomtom but if you go to pocketgps world (i already told you to look there!) and click on "speed cameras" they maintain the up-to-date database, theres a program called poi-edit that you can use to keep it up to date, it syncs with thier website every time you sync your pda, there are hundreds of other poi databases as well as speed cameras. This is all free.

free i like the sound of that. cheers for all your help, i'll have a look at that site later on and i'll have a look for an alternative place for the gps reciever and holder thingy.

You could have bought a clie TH55 with GPS new off ebay for 300 quid or less. You get the advantage of a proper mobile OS too, none of this windows crap

I'm not getting all together because i'm only getting the gps stuff off father christmas thats why i didnt get one off ebay + would rather buy new than off ebay, too many dodgey nigerians.

picking it up tonight after they cocked up with the delivery yesterday (amtrak = morons)

 

[gary.mckeown]

picked it up last night :-D love it

if i bought this http://www.pdamods.com/proddetail.asp?prod=A11CRXDLX50MNT
would it come with all the map software on it then i just install the extra stuff (traffic camera's etc) from pocketgps onto it or will i have to purchase the maps separately?

what software do you recommend, wouldnt mind a good drawing thing, also do u know how to save pictures from the internet on the pda as when i do the right click option all its says is "copy, add to favourates & something else which isnt save as)

cheers

Gaz.
