I belive this is possible, buy the software, and by a GPS receiver ?

Please could you give me some software names, any one used a phone as a sat nav? whats it like ?

any info much appriciated

ta muchly
 
simple, get a copy of tomtom for your phone, and a bluetooth gps reciever, install the software, connect the reciever to your phone and voila its done
 
I am going to be buying a 1Gb card anyway.

so I was wondering, does the sat nav software need its own memoory card?
coz i dont want to buy 2 when 1 Gig should be plentry for everything

I just bought a 1GB card mate and it should be plenty for your needs, including GPS.

By the way guys I just got a copy of Tom Tom 5 for my N70, but like a proper plonker I can't figure out how to add the maps to the program... how do you do it? :confused:

Didn't realise, edited it out. Still need the maps question answering though if any helpful person can tell me how to add em to my N70. :)
 
Nope, just root is fine. I think the folder name does need to have the word "Map" in it, though I'm not 100% sure on that.
 
Ahhh Desmo I meant to email you of thanks about what you sent me! Been busy with work man and it slipped my mind! Anyway my hearty thanks. :)

So the final verdict on how to add a map is...?
 
No problem mate :)

Just drop the map folders into the route of the mem card.
Mine looks like this --> E:\Tom Tom 5 Map - Great Britain
 
funny way to organise your memory card isn't it.

It would be ideal to have

e:\TomTom5\everything in this folder!

not so simple these mobiles are they. lol
 
Just looking at the GPS receivers and theres so many!

i assume i have to get a Bluetooth 1.2 complient one ?

Do i really need a 30 chaenel one ? or should i get a 16 ? or a 12 ?

any recoemendations of which receiver ?

Thanks for all help :)
