 |
|
Just picked up a Yakumo delta 300 GPS PDa from Toys-R-Us.
Its looks like it's a re-badged Mio 168 (well it is to be precise)
Comes with Marco Polo UK navigation? on CD and 256 MMC
(anyone know if POI for Traffic cameras are available for this data system?)
T-R-U have just dropped their price from £399 to £299 and even offer 6months interest free credit (20% deposit)
So far I've been quite pleased and MMC left plenty of room for other programs even with full UK maps installed.
Not really had a chance to try the software yet as I've only had a walk around my home area (it got me back!) - but I like the pedestrian setting where it ignores one way streets precincts etc where a vehicle couldn't go.
Small neat - doen't come with many accesories -just window mount for car, Car Power/Charger, USB/Charger lead, Mains adaptor.
No case! or external ariel, or docking cradle. boo!
might be worth a look.
If anyone has any info on Marco Polo (software), Poi etc. let me known
cheers Pete |

cheers icsys
The PDA is a Mio 168 but as you say the software looks the same as the Falk Navigator.
Just took it on a 60 mile round trip and it performed very well, doesn't like areas with lots of trees, but apart from slower updating in those areas it kept up OK and was spot on for turnings even in the City Centre.
Would have liked the volume of the PDA to be higher (but I'm a deaf old  !)
Just need the speed cameras for it now.

Hi.
If you are planning to keep Marco Polo you could try Travel-i
There is a 'Lite' version of this software available free:
Travel-i v1.18 LE
This is a camera and speed warning application. You would also need a program called GpsGate to have both the Marco Polo and Travel-i running at the same time.
