Posted: Thu Mar 06, 2008 7:39 pm Post subject: Is there a standalone detector for PGPS |
|
|
My Quest handles navigation just fine but the SC overlay is too distracting on a bike
Is there a unit out there that will load the PGPS database and just give audio or visual alerts? I don't need any navigation from it
If the audio could be fed into an Autocom all the better |

Hi Kritou,
Do you have a PDA?
If you do, then the excellent GPS Speed Sentry, by Tchart is definitely worth a look!

In answer to the original question, the answer is 'not yet' but we may have news on this front in a few weeks. _________________ Darren Griffin |

I thought by now someone would have suggested that a Drivesmart fits the bill. Just in case they do I have tried shoehorning mine under the bike seat but moi's feet no longer touch the gound! |

Size and design apart it's a workable solution. They still use SiRFII though which was long in the tooth when they were new. _________________ Darren Griffin |

As ever, the devil is in the detail. Things are however progressing at a pace and we'll let you all know once we have something we can announce  _________________ Darren Griffin |

Is this project still alive? or could there be a BT GPS/mobile phone application that does the same job but without a nav capability? |

The project is still alive and yes there are already solutions for Smartphone and Nokia handsets available that use our data. _________________ Darren Griffin |
