Your new device will work with a multitude of different software, as a starter for ten have a look at www.handango.com there are loads of applications available from there, it all depends what you want to do with it.
As for sat nav, the unit will work with various mapping programs that are around, you will need a memory card, GPS reciever and preferably a power lead for use in the car, also a decent car holder is a must - you don't want it to fly off the dashboard and break. Mike |

Software wise, take a look at TomTom, it seems to be popular with the Smartphone users. _________________ Gone fishing! |
