Copilot 3.5 with jacket GPS receiver ^^^ TomTom 3

[jibberjabber25]

Hi all. This is my first post here. :D

What I currently have is the Copilot Live 3.5 version with the bundled GPS receiver jacket. This jacket is called CoPilot GPS Jacket Model IGPSJ Model Number D15A8. I am using this with a Compaq iPAQ 3630 Pocket PC.

What I want to do is to upgrade to TomTom Navigator 3 software, but I do not want to change my Pocket PC or my GPS jacket.

My jacket works with another peice of freeware called VisualGPS and it works set to port COM4 with a baud rate of 4800bps. So will it work with TomTom 3?

I really like the 3D maps and the fact that the congestion charge is included, also the GUI looks more user-friendly. Am I right?

Many thanks for any help in advance.

Yes, it will work with TTN 3.

However, as of TTN4 jacket GPS are no longer officially supported. Let's just hope TomTom change their mind on that.

OK, many thanks for your reply.

Oh, actually, I'm thinking of getting Tomtom 2 instead (much cheaper) ! Is that also compatible?

I am sick of CoPilot making me pay so much (£99) to upgrade whereas tomtom offers better upgradeability. Had I known this, I would have bought TomTom in the 1st place! Oh well, you live and learn! Also 3D maps are something I want...

Do you know of any problems with TT2? Is it better than CoPilot 3.5?

Many thanks,
