for people like me who just want the software this pricing structure from navman stinks. they sell the software for £149 ex delivery but global sell the 4470 package inc receiver and mounts for £154 (http://www.globalpositioningsystems.co.uk/viewprod.php?product_id=2586&max_cat_id=14&vt=list). i would expect to pay £70 for the maps max!. there isnt even a demo available.

then they moan when their software appears on file sharing networks.

It will be interesting to see if Global keep to that price. I've seen them take preorders for quite a few items and the final selling price is often quite a bit higher.

Navman UK should really proof read their web site
The heading says "Pan European street-level maps of Western Europe for Palm T1, T2 and T3" and yet elsewhere on the page you can see it is not compatible with the Tungsten T1 :P

and

News Article
"...Navman launches SmartST V3 for Palm Tungsten, T2 and T3..." should really be
"...Navman launches SmartST V3 for Palm Tungsten T2 and T3..." as the
Tungsten,
T2 and
T3 are three different models.

and

"...This will give you access our full product knowledge base... "

and there's more while I am giving them a serve Laughing

Check the Search engine Meta Tags on the Navman Store pages!!! (Right click > view source)

Way way too many to list, but here's a sample of what users might be searching for when Navman just know they really are interested in a GPS Exclamation

Everything from:

"BBC, ITV, Virgin Airways, Cheap Loan, Cheap DVDs, Ronaldo, Charlotte Church (for christ sake), Tom Cruise, Elton John, Brad Pitt , Sex and the city, Spice Girls, Cheap DVDs, Cheap MP3, Ringtones, National Lottery, Jobs, Gardening tips, CV writing, Recipes, Food, ..."

I have clearly got too much time on my hands haven't I Smile

Yet again - no Tungsten C!

My understanding from a Navman telephone representative some six weeks ago was that SmartSt v3 for Palm OS5 would work on OS5 Palms.

Now that seems to have changed as there is no reference to the Tungsten C on their compatability chart which, by the way, shows no compatability for ANY "software-only" solutions, only those with Navman approved GPS receivers. Even now, there is a very helpful person from Navman trying to find out for me if they have ever tested the Tungsten C and whether or not I can "try before I buy" (I live in hope! )

Bearing in mind how many T/Cs there are out there and also bearing in mind that they are probably one of the Palms with the most clout to deal with GPS software I find it amazing that Navman have not covered as many Palms as possible in their testing, if only to increase their sales potential.

Any other Palm Tungsten C owners out there who agree? Smile

i agree mate although i have a t2. i also feel it is poor that there is no demo available. who is going to shell out £150 on something they havent tried?. unfortunatley there isnt enough competition for palm gps. check out the prices of the smartst v3 for ppc and you will see what i mean - £60.

Tried Navman SmartST for Palm V3 on T1 -- it does work.
Haven't tried on T|C yet but no reason why it shouldn't work if you have a wired receiver (I know it works on T|E with wired receiver so it should be fine on T|C).

A Service Pack has been release that provides Palm T5/Treo 650 Smartphone support amongst other things. My SmartST3 went from 3.0019 to 3.2004. To get the update follow the update software prompts from withing SmartST on your PC.
Nice job Navman bringing out the update so soon.

Besides adding support for T5/Treo650, 3.00.2004 update also vastly improves Contacts -- especially for newer palmOne units with Contacts application (instead of PalmSource standard Address) which allows up to three addresses per entry, and has improved start-up time (makes big difference if you have basemaps loaded). Back buttons now also work as Back button on a browser instead of being fixed links.
