hi
i am new to this
i got SPV M1000+TOMTOM 5
and this GPS RECEIVER BT-77 is £50 on EBAY any good?
tnx for help :?
Ask the vendor if it works ok with your phone. If it is a standard bt gps with serial profile I cannot foresee any problem for tomtom or the spv.

I have done some searching and there seems to be a lot of confusion on the fact if an XDA2 fits in a Tom Tom Car kit or not.
I am planning to use a Bluetooth carkit for the phone functions, but need a Tom Tom carkit to charge the unit and connect the GPS mouse.
So my question is: is anyone succesfully using the Tom Tom XDA carkit in combination with an XDA2/MDA2 etc ?
Also I would like to know if the Tom Tom carkit has a audio output.
Thanks,
Taco
Coonections are OK, XDA and XDA/MDA II are the same....
The Tomtom Carkit doesn't have audio-out.
On a 'normal' GPS cable you could connect Pin 2 (ground) and 3 & 4 (audio-out R/L) and short Pin 19 to groound for audio out....
But afaik has te Tomtomcarkit a connector build-in, so it wil be hard to open and/or solder wires to the pins...
IT WONT FIT !!!
Hi M8tes,
I have the TOMTOM carkit with GPS for my old XDA and my new XDA II or Qtek 2020 WONT FIT !!! The connection is the same, but the craddle is 2 Small... on the www.expansys.com website you can PRE-Order the new Qtek2020-XDA II Carkit... And I belief it alse works with the old GPS TOM TOM mouse...

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
John
That is rubbish
My navman, sees in the UK at least 8 sats

Hello to all around here,
has anyboy a hardware solution to add the TMC signal to the advice without buying a new gps receiver?
tmc adapter
there are "GNS FM TMC Transmitter" avaiable
just look at ebay and ask the seller
if they´re compatibel with the mini usb connection of the wonderful
trinity.
cost are about 40-60 €
have not tried for myself, but heared that it should work
greetings
Hi span_od,
If you ask for a "TMC upgrade" for a wired external GPS, just look at the device from AVANTEQ. You find it at http://www.avanteq.de/eng/beat-the-traffic-with-vio-tmc-receiver.html.
This device is just plugged into the cable between PDA and GPS and adds TMC-information to the GPS data. It is compatible to various navigation systems like NAVIGON, iGO, Destinator and fits with all external GPS having RJ11 or PS2connector.
I am using it with my HP2210 as well as my LOOX N500 since three months and it works really fine . Have encountered nearly any traffic problem since then. It is really worth the 79EUR I paid for.
Is this what you were looking for?
Best Regards
Jakob

Hi,
I have great success with the Holux M-1000. It's not the smallest but has great performance!

I'm using the globalsat BT-359S.
Very good : Sirf star III, 11 H in using, auto-off after 10mn without bluetooth used. Same connector as the S710 for charge. 82x41x13 mm 120gr
I recommend this one:

I've bought two of them, and both work flawlessly with TomTom on my iPaq
