@masseur,

thanks for your reply ! I can't quite justify buying a nice Garmin unit at the moment. Most of my driving is local and I know where I am going!

But I do like the sound of the functions that you describe.

I get the feeling from your post that Garmin Interface and maps are available for the TyTn II ! Is that correct? I am off to do a search of the Garmin site!

I think here but seems to be for America ! Haha... more searching to do...


The problem that I found with Google Maps was that the blue tracking dot was positioned in the gardens alongside the road that I was driving along!

Expansys (for example) sellthe Garmin mobile XT but as I say, only the UK and Ireland version at present. The full Western Europe should be around 2 this price according to Garmin

...and yes, its available for Windows mobile 6. Indeed, again at Expansys, you can buy the TyTN II together with the Garmin Mobile XT

Hi masseur !

I can see -

Turn your smartphone into a GPS navigator with Garmin Mobile XT for smartphones. Garmin Mobile XT is a plug-and-play navigation solution that comes with a preloaded MicroSD* card with UK & Ireland street level maps and navigation software.


so does this come with a CD too, so it can be installed onto my own -SD card ? [ I forgot whether it is micro or mini! ]

I guess I can just copy across to my own card unless it is protected...

its a micro sd for the TyTN II and yes, my plan would be to copy the data across to my own card as I doubt you get a CD or DVD with this

Hi masseur,

thanks for that !

I have an order pending at Expansys so maybe they can put this with it ! I will call them tomorrow...

One thing I did like about Garmin, but I know not so important, was the ability to change the pointer to a car or truck etc !!

... or even a motorcycle! on the standard Garmin nuvi's these are downloadable during the firmware update process (even if there is not update) but I have no idea if the windows mobile version includes this feature. please let us know!

Hi!

I will do !

I think the lower end of the Garmin range does not include these pointers.... if my memory serves me right...

edit... found this review here

Installed on a HTC TYTN 2 on Orange. Installed no problems and works very well. I have added the safety camera set to it and this is pretty accurate. I have a Garmin Quest so am used to the Garmin way, and this is a good product for a good price. So far the only issue is that I cant seem to copy the files to a larger card but I intend to ask Garmin if there is a work around for this.

The screen shots do not show pointers other than the arrow.....

hi ofiaich

the icon used in my weather was default, but u can easily costomize them using HTC Home Customizer, and that's what i use for other icons

btw, people, anyone uses a big micro SD storage? say a 4GB or 6GB? what's brand to go for?

Micro SD HC 4Gb Class4, what does the "HC" mean? and what Class is the best to get?

thank you

HC = High Capacity . . .
And for info about classes, read this.

hi AbuBasim,

thank you for the link, and now i have to start digging, which brand carries a good chip, in a way that it won't start giving problematic incompatibility after some time
