Just like to say what a good informative forum this is. I have been lurking and learning lots of things i can do with my p910.

I have purchased a blue tooth gps. I was wondering what programmes i can get to enable route finding? any help will be much appreciated.

TIA

Hi
you have the choice of three applications which are
Route 66 2006 (its the one i have but its buggy)
Tomtom 5 (only just on the market but should be the best)
Navicore (dont know anything about it)

I disagree, I have had Route 66 for about two months. Apart from it eating the battery life I have had no problems.

I suspect the battery life problem relates more to the fact that you have the screen light on as long as you use the GPS program.

Not seen any screen shots of TomTom and I have no idea how much it will cost/does cost! But I guess going by past products TomTom have released it will be the best one for the P910i.

and of course Wayfinder, which has been around for a couple of years now.

There's also MapViewGPS2, which is free and you can add your own maps from any image files (eg. screen grabs from online maps or even satellite images), but it doesn't calculate routes or anything. Still, I like it as it's free!

There will shortly be a more advanced version, SmartComGPS, which will cost money (but will still be peanuts compared to TomTom etc prices).
