tom tom on xda1 and xda2

Hi
Never used this tom tom stuff myself. But a friend wants to use it, and he was asking whether it worked fine on the xda 1 (32mb ram) device? With the appropriate SD card, did the software perform acceptably??
Good to hear from those who upgraded to xda II. How much difference is there between running on xda1 and xdaII?

XDA1 & 2 Both work the same (though the screen is better on xda2).
I've had TomTom Navigator on my original XDA and now my XDA2 since it came out.
The Navigator 2 software is superb. I drive 30k a year and I could not be without it now.

thanks.
My friend already ordered the dell axim with tomtom bundle. The whole lot for 400, not bad!. He doesnt need a phone.
Just want to check. If he were to lend me his software.. :wink: ... what would i need to make the lot work in the car? I believe i need a GPS device, that would allow me to connect to the xda, and to provide power to both?

The software has to be activated by tomtom while your ppc is connected to your pc via the web. one install only.
Let me know if you find a way around it.
If you can all you need is a gps (ebay).

Xda II & GPS

I have just bought a Xda II. I wonder whether I can use it as a GPS and if yes how it would be possible, thanks.

Hi,
I to have just got the XDA II and have also got the TomTom GPS software and bluetooth receiver to go with it
here http://www.globalpositioningsystems.co.uk/793 is one place where you might be able get it from but it seem to be in short supply at the moment
you can get a lot more info from this http://www.pocketgps.co.uk/index.php site
I can say that it is great

hw6515

I think it would be great for the experienced members of this board to start taking a look at the hw6515. It is after all made by HTC. There is so much crap on mine, and I wuld love to take mst of i off. So anyone who knows what they're doing...help! P.S. I think Imay have extracted the rom but when I try to open it with the rom editor the passwords won't work, and I have tried several others. p.s.s i also unlocked ipaq file store and ipaq rom using the Harrier_EXTrom.Unlock.exe found on this site, however there is next to nothing in it.

Okay I just used DumpROM and extracted all the files in my ROM, I am completely new to this so what would be the next step?

I have upgraded to HW6515 from mini too, was able to install CallerID for HW6515.
Hope this website will support HW6515 too.

Yes me too i have now got a HW6515
And is very very good
I do hope that support will be on this website

Can any of you guys post the BT Cab file here so that we can try it out on the XDA's ? Apparently, the HP6515 BT stack supports BT voice dial and is very stable with clear audio without any static.
Would be highly appreciated.

if you tell me how to getit of the device i will do it for you
as for the voice dial its very good ihave just had in a few southwing headsets and they work very well £11.99 in P & P from ebay

I'm thinking of getting thr 6515 but it is still very expensive at the moment. Has anyone managed to get BB Connect for it yet? Until this is available I won't buy. Plus later this year it is supposed to have WiFi and WM2005 added.

I have 2 Laptops 1 is HP (office) and the Other is Sony Viao UX series which i have put in a car. I do not waht to buy a seperate BT GPS receiver for my Viao while on road, will like to use my Touch Cruise for that.......
Did any one of you try doing this before???
Any help will be highly appreciated.
Challu

I'm also be very interested
But it looks like there's no chance for it without a 3rd party app...

Have a look at http://www.gpsmeter.com/index.php?page=portsplitter or consider Fransons GPS ate - Mike

Looks Interesting....may be possible....
thanks for the link friend,,,,,,that's a good link you pointed out, i have seen port splitter before it comes as an addon with GPS tuner software....i tried a trial version of it....but havent used it....will try using it....and post my findings...mean while lets see if any one else has a different opinion.
Challu

Hi, there is an application tha will let you use your TC as an external bluetooth gps, it's called GPS2BLUE here is the link:
http://users.skynet.be/hofinger/GPS2Blue.html

That looks very promising......
hey thanks palmbluetooth.......will surely try it.....and will also donate to this guy who is sharing this software.... if it works......
Dint expect I would get this kind of resolution so soon.....

HTC or Samsung with Assisted GPS (A-GPS) will meet your requirements. A-GPS allows you to get a "fix" when you are indoor and connected to the Internet, or while performing a synchronisation with a computer connected to the Internet.
There is nothing much we can do about the GPS receiver (radio) because it is part of the phone's main board. The user's preference and settings is pretty much limited to the GPS software and maps.
For me, I am still using my 2009 HTC Touch HD on Windows Mobile 6.5, using Garmin XT software. In my location, there is a forum that has free open-source map resources.
Hope this helps

Thanks. However I want to use the GPS without internet so without A-GPS. Even if the radio is integrated in the main board there can be some differences between the brands. What I would like to know is from that univers, which are the best smartphones with best GPS performance without A-GPS.
Regards

I already read a lot of reviews. About GPS performance almost nothing is written. The site where I found more detail it's gsmarena.com.
Neverthless when it's said that the performance of Galaxy S is the same of Galaxy S3 ou S4 or other brands I cannot take my conclusions. The only comparison that I made it was with an iphone 4S and during the test my galaxy lost some times the signal and iphone no. Always connected! But I prefer Android so I will stay with Android.
If you know other internet sites where I can see more details please advise me.
Thanks.
