|
|
I recently purchased TomTom 2 and its running fine on my iPaq 5550.
However, I am pondering Bluetooth so there are less cables.
Can anyone advise me on the best approach, and recommend a Bluetooth kit?
Thanks in advance....... |

- find out what feature set is important to you
- use the comparison database on this site to identify the receiver you want
- get the receiver and start using it... _________________ Lutz

The main features people consider are size/weight, battery life, mounting options and additional features.
Some BT GPS have specific in-car cradles for charging and mounting the receiver, others have very long quoted battery times or can use standard AA or AAA batteries and others have additional feature such as data logging. On top of that, size varies considerably.
If you identify those features that you consider important before hand then you our comparison database you should be able to produce a short list. After that the usual decider is cost! _________________ Darren Griffin |
