Hi all,

I just got a Qtek 9090 branded by Vodafone. Seems an excellent piece of kit.

I want to use it for GPS in my car. Can I have a recomendation for a GPS BT kit please.

I hear TT3 can be REALLY slow with the 9090 and that is due to be replaced by TT4 soon. Is the Navman 4420 compatible and any good?

Thanks.

I use an XDAII with TTN3, works fine. I would reccomend Globalsat, Leadtek, Fortuna ClipOn or Emtac BT GPS units.

I have a garmin GPS 10 bluetooth unit which has just ben released, I have found that it works well and has the advantage that it comes with PC and pocket PC software so that you have the option of using your phone or your laptop, the europe cover sems good.

I just ordered my Qtek 9090 branded by the german mobile provider ePlus, cant wait for it to arrive. In the meantime I keep looking for things to use my PDA for.
Im all into GPS navigation systems, ever been. BUT if you keep on reading this post you hereby willingly accept the fact me being a -> complete <- newbie on that issue.
So actually my main question at the moment is, what besides a PDA and a SD card and software do I need to start? How do I let the satellites know where I am?

I have the Globalsat BT338 receiver. One of the best and got over 98% in reviews. it is based on the latest sirfstarIII chipset. (Sirf are the leading chipset makers for gps receivers)

Does anybody know if there is a tom tom car craddle somewhere, some kind of holder which combines the GPS antenna and a car holder with loading function.

@factor 5:
I guess you already got your MDA3. DO you figure out a way with the GPS thing. I also have the provider eplus and am waiting for the blue angel to come...

answer would be nice

I have an XDA IIs with a BT-338 bluetooth GPS receiver and Destinator 3. I use an Arkon mount which powers the XDA and can also charge the GPS receiver.
I have used Destinator in Ireland, France, Spain and Florida and find it very good.
