I have been looking through the forum to determine the best combination of receiver + software as a gps solution. Is there a poll outlining the relative merits / demerits for the xda2s?
From reading threads, i feel alot of people use TT5 with a BT338 receiver. Would this be a reasonable solution?
Kind regards
I have BT-338. It work just fine with my tek 9090.
I use the BT-338 with CoPilot Live 5 and it works great on my SX66.
CoPilot Live 6 is too buggy, IMO.
I have not tried Tom Tom 5. But I could not install iGuidance 2.1.2 (I gave up after 3 attempts), TeleType World Navigator has huge breadth but not much depth in its features, and OnCourse Navigator 5 has user interface design problems, poor rerouting (it gets stuck on one path), and it requires manually starting the bluetooth connection each time.
Note: These recommendations might only apply in the USA.
tt5 & bt 77
Hi, my xda2s worked fine with TT5 and a BT77 bluetooth GPS, although the device configuration arrangement was a bit strange. However, that was on wm2003. I can't get any GSM functionality on wm2005 so can't comment on satnav and gps combinations with wm2005.
You will need to check with Tom Tom what support there is currently for Ireland. On the release of TTN5 there was limited support for the North & NO support for Eire. The latest downloadable maps suggest "major roads" of Eire are now supported but these maps are an additional purchase over & above TTN5.
I think i am the only BA user here with one, but i like my SD-501 (SDIO) GPS. its a great little unit, and gets great reception (not to mention better battery life compared to constant BT use!).
Still deciding on software though..
OK, after a week of surfing the forum, I'm stuck. I'm looking for a stable ROM for the Hermes that will work with the Parrot CK3100 car kit.
Ideally something with a reasonable set of apps, stylish rather than funky, and reasonable performance.
If anyone is working with a CK3100 car kit I'd be interested to know what ROM you run....
we will keep it on mind
but you may search on devs and hacks maybe some people has te answer why the carkits dont works correctly.
I own a 5 inch chinese android phone. 1080p screen etc. Its a pretty mediocre phone so isn't in use. Basically i wanted to either find a case like this: http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Free...-with-Stand-Cover-Case-for-7-9/958953702.html ..something that will allow me to turn it into a mini laptop/umpc...OR... does anyone have suggestions on making a housing? I will be disasembling it if i cant find a case and costom building....
My idea was to use a nintendo ds housing and a mini bluetooth keyboard..

Please dont ask why I would want to do this, its basically just because i can! I am currently porting linux to the device so should be a worthy little UMPC
You know, make something like the Pandora console without the gaming functionality...
Cheers
Hi all.
I have a old stand-alone GPS system with old maps and WinCE 5.0 on it, a Navman S50. I have being searching around and have found a unlocker which enables me to boot my unit into the OS which is cool. But what I'd really like to know is, would it be possible to get android running on this device with the hardware it has? http://gadgets.softpedia.com/gadgets/GPS-RFID/The-Navman-S50-GPS-Navigation-System-6573.html Scrolling to about half way down this page it has the tech specs. If it is possible, and since I know nothing about building android or porting it, would anyone know how to get android running on this?
I've got an unused Lumia 650, and my plans were to use it as a navigator on my motorcycle. The display in the sunlight and the GPS are fantastic compared to my (old) Samsung devices.
BUT
the software compartment is very lacking. I've found no good navigator apps, right now the best solution is to use Waze by connecting the Lumia via wifi to my phone for the online data.
I was wondering if there's a way to do the "opposite": making the Lumia "sharing" the GPS via bluetooth (as if it is were an external GPS) to the Android phone.
It may be that i'm not able to search for it, or that there's nothing that makes it possible.
So here i am asking to the experts: is this a doable solution?
As a programmer myself, if there's not a ready app, what should i look to develop it? (provided that it is worthy)?
Suggestions?
Tips?
Thanks
yes, it has
yes, it has
