Hi All,
I'm currently running a 3970 with NAVMAN 3000 sleeve, but am thinking about replacing the sleeve with a TomTom Bluetooth GPS Receiver.
My current mount setup is a simple windscreen suction to the sleeve. When I get rid of the sleeve what would be the best way to mount the IPAQ and BT receiver? I know there a few reviews of mounts but it's all a bit baffling and you can't beat first hand experience. The solution would need to be fairly portable as I use hire cars a lot.
If it's any help the main car will be a BMW 3 series Coupe (new model).
Also, will this receiver work with most software solutions (Destinator 2, Mapopolis, etc.)? I expect it will being Sirf 2 but just wanted to check.
Loads of thanks,
Clem |

Clem, you have two options. Some people keep the sleeve, and still have this fixed to the iPAQ which would still work, or if you prefer windscreen mounts go for a Arkon CM629. It's the same as the CM656, but it doesn't have an FM Modulator built into the back of the cradle mount. Arkon also do a vent based mount if you'd prefer this. Other options are Brodit mounts, or Seidio. Take a look at our Mount Reviews which should help a little. The Emtac/Socket BT GPS and TomTom BT GPS will work with Mapopolis, Destinator I believe is now fixed but did have some initial teething problems. It will be SiRF II. |

Dave,
Thanks for the quick reply.
I think I'll wait and see how the TomTom car kit is received. If I change at all - I've got the NAVMAN sleeve working in Sirf mode and Destinator 2 now works fine.
Cheers
