Use serial cable on SP2 and Navigator GPS and it works a treat. |

I haven't got a COM2 option, only Serial Cable on COM1; Serial Cable on SP2; or COM3 (plus USB, IR and Bluetooth).
Can't get mine to pick up any satallites. |
Serial Cable on SP2 use this one btw you dont have to uninstall the medion software just get a bigger sd card. |

Has anyone had a problem entering street addresses? Please see this topic in posts to beginers lounge. I think Diplo may be right and the cut down(?) navigon doesn't like the tele atlas mapping. This is my first gps purchase and I wonder if I will be lost in France next year |

I'll head over to the beginners lounge in a mo but in the meantime i've had no problem entering street addresses. Pretty much first time every time i get what i'm looking for..
On the other hand i managed to borrow a friends Ipaq with Tomtom3 and whilst i liked the interface and the routing functions (avoiding certain rounds and route recalc) i found it a bloody nightmare to find the streets i was after.
If someone would write some software with the interface of TomTom and the functions/ease of use of Navigon they'd be onto a winner. |

I have used both and have them installed on my Medion ppc2500.I have found ukpostcodes a great tool for TT3 full postcode supporthttp://www.digitools.co.uk/ukpostcode.php
But the navigon routing to me is better |

I meant to mention that aswell Dice... (i've had a few beers now )
Routing in Tomtom3 is appauling... I'd let it work out a couple of routes for me when i know full well where i'm going. It seems to take you some very odd routes and if you ignore the route and take a wrong turn to follow a route you know to be good it's recalc'd routes are shocking.
As i say...interface looks a lot smarter and is easier to use with the big buttons. Anything else and give me Navigon. |

Heehe me too! I dont know which to use but TT3 looks great! If only ukpostcodes could be adapted to Navigon I'd be happy |
