PDA

[PaulHooligan]

Why would you need a GPS?? Men NEVER get lost they just happen to be in the wrong place.

Ive been looking for something like this and on comparison with others it seems to have it all although the display does not seem to be true HD, and it would appear to be one of the earlier models BUT for the money its not bad

HD doesn't matter for what Colley is intending to use it for Paul. It's really all about the size of the screen. If you've got a competent passenger with you who can navigate for you the little PDA is fine, but IMO it's too small for the driver to use purely because there is so much more detail on these than something like a TomTom .

Would this do the job I do like the look of this
It says built in gps. Do you think it would need another gps receiver

Do you think he might be having a giggle??

[BoxCleva]

[colley]

Well been looking on the bay at different android's then started looking at laptops and notebooks

No problem whatsoever.

[colley]

Would it be easy to transfer 13g of memory map from my home computer to that as it has cd drive
Would it be just the case of using a memory stick

[BoxCleva]

Yeah you could network them, which will be slow but at least you aren't constantly going back and forth with usb stick, unless of course your usb drive is over 13gb in size

[colley]

Thanks mate i am crap with computers
When do think you can get the copy of MM to me
Hoping to buy a notebook or android this week and would be nice to get it all up and running

[BoxCleva]

Tomorrow or weds at the lastest bud , wills end it 1st class

You can burn them to DVD and save pc space, Ive got 25gig of memory maps on my external HD and just transfer maps across to my Desire HD when needed, did the same with the XDA.
The overlays are minute in size too.
I will see if I can get my 8 DVD's back and you can look at them

[colley]

Thanks guys i owe you a or two or dog bite

Or you could go to Tesco and buy a 1tb network drive for £24 and do it that way works out cheaper than buying a 32gb flash mem thingy save lots of money AND have all your pcs backed up

The 02 xda2 was a cracker, I had one a few years ago, if I remember correctly they needed an external GPS receiver (I happen to have a tom tom one here ) bluetooth.

Good screen size on them too, I am sure Andysd1 was selling one he may still have it.

i bought it off andy but dont use it so gonna put it up with some other thing in clearing out
