Destinator for 32 MB XDA

[golf]

Hello,

Just wondering if you have some advice on this one.

I am using a 32MB XDA with an Orange contract.
Now I received destinator software which I would like to install as a navigation system in a car and for pedestrian usage as well.

When I tried to download the maps for Southern UK I already receive a message that memory is too small.

1) Which card do suggest for memory extension? SSD or MMD? what the best source to purchase? price level? Or are there any other ways to use it with current memory?

2) What else do I need? On e-bay I have seen some mound offers and on this forum some people mentioned a saphire mouse?

I am by no means an IT specialists, so any advice would be highly apprceciated.

Thank you in advance

Destinator does not like nmea protocol, it will be very flaky using nmea, the software, as far as I am aware was designed for the sirf chipset (I dont know if this was addressed in later revisions, I have destinator 2) so be sure to get a gps that supports this, any memory card will do, best source is ebay, I use sd card, however I use tomtom in preference to destinator as in my opinion it is a superior product, better overlays, free speed camera warnings, easier to customise etc, also much more frequent updates.

Thank you very much for your reply, Cruisin through!

In the meantime I got myself an SD card.

Sometimes the destinator is working, but most of the time I recieve:

either "Insufficient space message" or "your mapE1 is damaged or erased"

On top of it the internet connection is not working porperly anymore.
The XDA connects to the Orange network, but doesn't refresh the conntent of page at all.

As for this sirf chipset would that work with http://www.gpsw.co.uk/details/prod1286.html at all?

I would change to TomTom, but I already received the destinator software as a present...

many thanks

When I tried to install Destinator 2.06 I received an error that the pda wasnt synced, I then found that there was a patch for activesync 3.7, this fixed it, I will try that haicom receiver with Destinator today, I already have the receiver and software, and let you know the results. I have no idea why you are getting those errors, have you tried loading the maps to the sd card through a card reader/writer on usb?
