What GPS unit should I get with IIi and TomTom 5

Scuse the Noobie question!

Quite like the idea of the solar powered GPS units, as I will be moving the setup from car to car, are these just a gimmick though?

I've got a TomTom 5 Bluetooth GPS which I bought for £105 from eBay. It works, but at times can be tempremental, and sometimes it doesn't work at all.

Any standard wired gps receiver will have a built in charger for phone and gps, easily transferred as long as you have a mount in each car, look at Haicom or tomtom wired gps.

Thanks for the replies!

Can I ask a couple more mega newbie questions?

Do I need a unit with a speaker built in or can the XDA have a speaker built in?

Do international purchases work with UK bluetooth?

I need to get a memory card to download TomTom onto, what is the best type to get and a reasonably priced place to get them from?


Also wanted to use my XDA IIi as an MP3 player, am I right in presuming once connected to the GPS, I couldn't connect it to the radio for playing tracks?
