I am thinking of buying a O2 XDA II PDA, I notice there is a problem with Bluetooth gps units, can anyone tell me if there is a problem with cable gps units?? If not can you recomend which gps unit to buy?

Cheers

read that tomtom2 bluetooth dont work they are making an software upgrade so it does these days

here tomtom2 is officialy an accessories for qtek
so i asume that the wire version is ok working and it's quality is high enough since qtek does that

I have the TomTom Navigator II and the XDA (1) car kit. Can any one please confirm if the old cable will fit the new XDA II ?

Second quick question...How the hell do you get the TomTom software working with the XDA II, is it just the case of installing it or do I need to change comm ports, turn stuff off etc etc???

Thanks

Yes the original XDA-Navigator works with the same cable GPS on the XDA2.

The only problem I found is that it could not read the map with a Sandisk 256mb SD card.

I tried it with a Lexar 128mb SD card and it works fine.

The TomTom FAQ site says that some Ipaq's had this problem, it was later sorted by Compaq.

On the XDA 1, you had to make sure that beams were turned off in settings/connections otherwise Com 1 wasnt available to Tomtom and would not work, giving error message "com 1 not available"
