Hi!
I have browsed through the board and some websites concering GPS kits for the XDAII and I am even more confused than before.
Can anybody give me a suggestion about which GPS Device works good with the XDAII and which card software is to be preferred?
I want to use my XDAII as a navigation system in my car and I am from germany (if that does matter somehow).
Thanks alot!
Dominik
Hi,
I would say: Emtac Bluetooth GPS Receiver...
http://www.emtac.com/
This one is really great!
Combine this with XDA II + Bluetooth Tools + Emtac BTGPS is the best solution for GPS...

Navman 4410
navman 4410 with bluetooth gps receiver, works perfect,
BUT if you go for the fixed version, go for the t-mobile carkit for €199,- to get from the german t-mobie stores, this is the BEST DEAL arround. you get the carkit, plus the sat-nav software, plus the gps receiver.
OK its build in, but a very strong deal
If you have a BT gps do you still not have to plug it in to the car cigar lighter so to some extent is it not still hardwired?
Or
Do you just use alot of batteries
Navman 4410
My navman BT Gps has batteries which are good for 30 hours, but can still plug it in the cigarete lighter if I am in the car. so multiple options
The good thing of this one is, when I am in town by foot or train, I can still use the gps.
That is so perfect
Is the Emtec BT GPS the same one as made by Socket comms but just with a different badge, because i know this as a GPS is probley the most sensitive GPS i have ever used and its excellent where other GPS dont see any or only a few sats, this one still works fine

That is rubbish
My navman, sees in the UK at least 8 sats
I am thinking of buying this cable:
http://www.globalpositioningsystems.co.uk/accessories_detail.php?accessory_id=665
(which is apparently designed for the XDA I) to connect my XDAII and Haicom 204E GPS.
Anyone know if this wil work?
If it fits the gps it will work ok with xda1 and xda2.
Hey
can someone help me in find out where I can get an gps that well connect to the RJ11 connector on the cradle of the professional car kit that Expansys sales.
If nobody knowns does anyone known the RJ11 connecttor which one supplyesa power to the gps and which one carries data meaning RX TX so I can get a gps with a PS2 connecttor and converter it to an RJ11.
Please help.
Regards
Gigi
Hello,
i'm not sure, but i think that the tomtom wired mouse has one :wink:
Sincerely,
The TomTom wired mouse certainly has an RJ11 connector. I think this is just a rebadged Leadtek GPS mouse, try looking for one of those.
I just bought a Rikaline 6010 GPS Reciever. I bought the XDAII cable with it that has a Cigarette Power adapter. Is this the only way to power the unit? I want to use this as a standalone unit, is there a battery option?
Hi,
I have garmin etrex gps with car charger/serial cable combo.
Which cable(s) to use to connect xda2 to the car plug (12V) and to this serial connector that is at etrex cable.
Where to buy the required cable?
Tomi
Ebay had lots... but I'm a student, and therfor too cheep to pay 15 to 20 pounds for a wire i can make from scrap cables i already had lying arround.
its not too hard to build your own!
HOWEVER. when i built my own, i then found that the GPS wasn't really accurate enough in my car to work with tomtom.
It keeps jumping between my street and any street that runs parralel with it.
After a lot of swaring, and playing with different settings i have decided to stump up the cash and get a Holux GR 236 GPSlim, from what i read it seems like an awsome bit of kit.
If you want help on building your own cable i can provide you with some links and info.
hope that helps.
