I currently have a Navman 3000. I used to have TT5 on it, but it was rubbish, so reverted back to TT3. Yesterday it took roughtly 15/20 mins to get a fix, which is slightly slower than it used to be, but this morning took over 35 mins. I know the 3000 is an old model, so am I right in assuming that it takes this long on average??

What I was thinking of doing was, actually disabling my navman 3000, as in removing the drivers, as I would like to keep my ipaq in the sleeve as its a good protector, and also I have a windshield mount already, and just buy a bluetooth gps, so I can just connect via bluetooth and get a fix in less than 1 minute.

Can this be done, or would there be conflict between navman and bluetooth gps?

Can any of you recommend a suitable bluetooth gps unit which won't break the bank which is good and is compatible and works well with TT5.

cheers

Hey fella - a small flame!

If you are going to call something 'rubbush' please qualify your statement. (or did you mean to say that you didn't like it?)

In my experience TT5 is far removed from the 'rubbish' corner Sure it had a couple of hickups but 99.9% of the time it was wel behaved and did EXACTLY as I asked it to. It go me to my destination. TT5.1 fixed the minor irritation I had.

This will work just fine. I have done the same thing in the past.

I can recommend the TomTom Version 2 Bluetooth GPS, and the Globalsat BT338 is very highly rated by other users.
