I bought a 60CSx in the US in September and installed Topo GB on my return. It works fine, subject of course to the usual criticisms of the Topo mapping. The only slight drawback is that the basemap ... |

I'd be grateful for some advice on this question. I am looking to purchase my first handheld GPS for (not too demanding) walking in the South East UK. I have pretty well narrowed my search to the 60 ... |

So what will happen when using Tomtom traffic (when it is available) with a BT connection to a GPRS mobile phone and BT GPS operating in tandem? |

I've just bought a 256MB Integral SD card for about £56 delivered from www.valueflash.co.uk. It is a rebadged Panasonic (actually listed as Integral/Panasonic)and is made in Japan, which apparently i ... |

Afterthought: I should have made clear that both the 2210 and 4150 have Bluetooth built in. The 4150 has wifi as well. So the trade is between the built in wifi (4150) and CF slot (2210). |

I don't think your combination will work. The 4150 only has a SD slot, so you will not be able to use the Fortuna CF. Neither will the Copilot CF Quickstart fit, but I believe you could get the sof ... |

Not quite! I believe the BT pack does not include the car kit, although it is provided with the wired GPS. But still it looks a good price. |

Darren,
Thanks for the confirmation. Your comments on the (mis)diagnosis of the failure mechanism is a bit worrying. Do you know if the TomTom BT receiver reliability is OK now? It looks an attr ... |

Looking at the descriptions and illustrations on the TT website, it appears that the TT BT GPS receiver no longer includes the charging/docking cradle. Has anybody else spotted this, or is it just my ... |

If one goes to Settings - System - Memory - Running Programs - and then select the relevant programme and push "stop" does this do the trick as well? |

I fear I may have started a hare running. Yes, I was thinking of a BT hands free car kit. The difficulty, as I understand it, is that when a BT phone is paired with a BT car kit it is "locked" and n ... |

Very interesting. I suppose the optimum solution would be for the PPC to emulate the BT car kit and enable a GPRS connection when required. Technically feasible? |

Dave,
Thanks.
So those of us with a BT phone and car kit will only need another phone to support the Tomtom traffic service. Hmmm! |
