 |
|
Before I am going spend my hard earned cash on an upgrade, I'd like to get some advice.
I am currently using CP6 on Acer n50 linked to sat receiver via bluetooth.
What I don't know is that, If I get CP7, with what I have how can I configure my hardware to get traffice info? |

| To get traffic info you need a gprs connection which means a mobile phone / pda, is the Acer n50 a phone/pda, if not then you can't get traffic info. |

n50 is a PDA. It is linked to a Sat receiver via bluetooth. What do I need to receive the traffic info and by what means to transfer this info the the PDA, given that the bluetooth is already taken up by the sat receiver? |

you will get traffic info via the data (internet connection) on you mobile phone you will need to have a gprs bolt on to your account for this.
also the mobile phone and pda need to have bluetooth and you will have to set up a dail up connection on the pda to tell it where top go to to get an internet connection

But I am using PDA bluetooth to communicate with the sat receiver. I cannot communicate with the mobile at the same time via the bluetooth can I? |
