Default Here is some info
Hi,

Well I did a search and found this link for accessories for the XDA:

http://www.o2.dextra.co.uk/

The product to look for is the "XDA-GPS Destinator" this would give you the hardware to access GPS info. Then you could use another 3rd party mapping program like Tom Tom or MS Streets/mapPoint. (I have the CD's!!).

I use GPS in Dublin on my Laptop via a compact flash card and external antenna that I bought on E-Bay for 35 Euro! The software I use is Navigator from Directions Ltd. I find this is the most simple to use and also covers the main roads and points of interest in Ireland. I have not found any software that gives a good map view of Ireland and also I guess this is why there are no real systems for cars over here!

If you do find any more info please feel free to pop the details on here for all to share.

Regards

Andy
