I've decided to bite the bullet (sat-nav wise)- Advice Req'd

[gavinglasgow]

I have an N95-1 with an 8GB SD Card.

To get TomTom up and running would I be correct in saying all I need is:-

Holux GPSlim 236 Bluetooth GPS Receiver (cheapest I've seen is about £30)
and
TOMTOM Navigator 6 Mobile Sat Nav - CD Version (about £12)

Will this give me the best set up? Any advice would be greatly appreciated

Cheers

A £12 cd of tomtom is not going to be a legit version.

Otherwise, yes its a good setup.

£12 on CD for tomtom... good one.

If you want to continue this discussion on the £12 option when you need to take it to a different forum.

We gotta keep it tidy here please.

[gavinglasgow]

sorry I did think it was helluva cheap but the guy does advertise it as a legit version and I thought it was so cheap because it was on CD.

Hmm I have my doubts now LOL!!

Cheers for the heads up

Can you tell me how much a legit version of TomTom 6 Mobile should be - a ball park figure would do?

Thanks in advance

No doubt it is copied from a legit version, but to copy and reproduce on a CD ... £12!

he's ripping you off...


As Bart said tho.. the GPS holux device would be fine as you do still need the external GPS device.

If you dont want that... look up GarminXT.. both on here and the Garmin site. Plenty of info.

£87.02 from tomtom.com

You can buy cheaper legit ones from ebay, just make sure its a decent seller and that they know it has to be deactivated first.

Looks a safe bet, not sure what the bid will go up to though.

Bear in mind you can get it cheaper by just getting the maps you need.

For example, UK and Ireland only is £66 odd.



EDIT: Ive just noticed that oddly, tomtom seem to be restricting the map selection to Germany - Austria - Switzerland only for the E65. Why on earth are they doing that?

Why dont you try garmin. its works so well with the built in GPS. then that way you dont need to buy extra gps recievers to get satnav to work.
Its just thought!!!

[RogerPodacter]

the tomtom setup is definitely good. but i like using gps apps that use the built in gps so its one less thing to carry around. garmin, route66, etc. oh and that price seems a little cheap for tomtom.

Go for Garmin Mobile XT... you can buy it with Europe or US maps, and it looks and works really well on the N95. I even loaded my MINI srf file from my NUVI 360 and some supplemental maps from Metroguides and Topographic cds. All work on the N95. Garmin just rocks!
