What About an SD CARD GPS ?!?

[Old Man]

Hi guys,
any news on this side?

(I hope this is not a redundant topic... I've looked for in the topics' list, and seemed to me was missing)

I don´t know any sd-slot based gps-module.

Why you don´t use a serial connected gps?
If you want to use it in a car you need an gps near the windows or outside the car for a good satellite connection

Hi Alex-Zero,
thank you for answering my question.
I'm actually looking for a more portable device, because I need to use it meanwhile I'm walking in the street.
That's why I'd prefer a "single" object, like a mobile phone with a slot in gps, and not a mobile phone wired to a periferal...

Did you finally obtain a Pharos’ Pocket GPS Navigator SDIO and did it work ok with the XDA II. I am thinking of getting one and it would be good to know someone who has bought one and is pleased with it. Steve

Hi,
I'm sorry I didn't buy it yet. I sent to them an email, asking for information, regarding specifically the XDA II, but they didn't reply !!!
I will keep in touch if something would arise on this matter... will you?

If I buy one I will let you know if it works ok. At the moment I am undecided between Bluetooth GPS and the SD GPS. SD GPS will leave me with no memory expansion and Bluetooth is possibly still a problem although I believe that Towas has a patch that makes it work ok. If anyone is using Tom Tom Navigator 2 Bluetooth aith the XDA II and got it working OK, I would love to hear from them. Does anyone know if using a Bluetooth GPS will still allow use of a Bluetooth Handsfree Car Kit like the Parrot CK3000, at the same time i.e. using 2 Bluietooth devices witn the XDA II simultaneously?

Best regards Steve
