Sat Nav On Your Mobile Phone

[sotal]

just purchased tomtom mobile, with a bluetooth GPS unit. It turns your phone into a full sat nav system whilst you are in the car.

I've got to say it was even better than I expected. After downloading a few add-ons it now alerts me to all fixed gatsos, red light cameras, truvelos and points where there are regular laser traps. It also shows me where the closest McDonalds, KFC and Pizza Huts are! :D

So thumbs up to TomTom and I would highly recommend it to anyone

my phone is Orange SPV C500, tomtom works on most smartphones and nokia 6000 & 7000 Symbian Phones

Tomtom Kit was £140

c500 was free on contract which works out at £6.25/month

exelent, i used to have the spv e200 but i didnt think you could get it on the c500.

where did you buy it from?

Officialy it wasn't supported on the c500, but they released a traffic patch on the web to fix something else and it fixed it for the c500.

They have also just announced tomtom mobile 5 which supports the c500 straight away.

Check the TomTom website out for more info

The fix for tomtom to work on the c500 and loads of info can be found on www.modaco.com

the speed camera database can be found at pocketgps.co.uk

The patch which makes it work on the c500 also lets you use any bluetooth gps unit, so technically you could buy one from eBay cheap, then download tomtom from edonkey - but I wouldn't do that :arrgg-matey:
