I RECENTLY BOUGHT FROM WWW.MOBILEGADGETSHOP.CO.UK OF HERTS A NEW MITAC MIO A701 PDA WITH PHONE AND GPS BUILT IN , I ALSO ORDERED TT5 AS WELL.

AFTER CHARGING THE BATTERY AND BACKING UP THE TT5 SD CARD (A MUST , IF THE INSTALL GOES WRONG AS MINE DID YOUR KNACKERED)

TESTED IT OUT FOR NAVIGATION , SPEED CAMERAS , ATM S , AND I AM VERY PLEASED.

MY PREVIOUS DEVICE WAS AN XDA2 WITH EXTERNAL GPS RECIEVER
DESPITE HELP FROM XDA DEV SITE AND NUMEROUS XDA GURUS
I GAVE UP AND PUT IT UP FOR SALE ON EBAY

SOME PEOPLE SEEM TO HAVE GOT XDA2 WORKING BUT AFTER SPENDING 3 WEEKENDS COMPLETLY REBUILDING OS , WIRELESS ETC , TWEAKS AND VARIOUS OTHER BITS OF JIGGERY POKERY I DECIDED THAT A PDA PHONE AND GPS IN ONE UNIT WAS A MUST.

I HAVENT TESTED IT OFF ROAD SO TO SPEAK BUT WHEN I DO TAKE IT UP SNOWDON I WILL LET YOU KNOW
:D

Try not to SHOUT. Wink

I have a mate with the MIO701 and TT5 and he's really pleased with it.

There was an issue though in the time it took TT to get talking to the GPS. What he did was to install VisualGPSce. If you launch that first it gets the GPS going very quickly then start TT5 it picks up the GPS instantly - saving time.

You get it here: http://www.visualgps.net/VisualGPSce/
