|
|
I’m getting an Xda IIs for use by the company I work for and thought that I could use my copy of Tom Tom 3 on it, but I unsure if this will work.
So time to change my plans I think,
Can anyone help recommend a dedicated GPS system to buy?
My budget is approx £400.00.
I need it to be portable from car to car and walking in town/city, full maps of the UK and Europe with 2D/3D view and able to show a speed camera database, also a map Cyprus as an add-on if possible.
Systems I have been currently looking at are:
Navigon BlueMedia PNA Sat-Nav at £399.00, but I’m unfamiliar with the software.
Mio 269 at £399.00, I do like the look of this one lots of storage and maps and all the accessories you could need.
Garmin Quest £338.85, I came this unit while surfing the net.
Navman iCN 510 £399.00, this may be similar to the Mio 269 but it does not have the storage.
Mio 168 £200.00, this seams to be the cheapest option and I can install my Tom Tom 3.
If anyone can me I would appreciate it. |

The Mio 168 is probably the cheapest, neatest option.
I use mine for car driving with CoPilot, and walking around town with MemoryMap London A-Z . I also use MemoryMap OS for walking in the country by selecting the relevant section of OS and downloading it to the Mio.
I use a 1Gb SD card as maps take up lots of space. You can also buy a battery extender using AA batteries for about £7 to ensure you always have power when out walking. _________________ Nokia E65 & TT Nav6 |

I was looking at the mio for dual use very similar to your own (I'm leaning towards Tom Tom & Memory Map rather than CoPilot/Memory Map at the moment). The thing that put me off though is the angled aerial - isn't that a bit awkward when you're walking? |
