Hi,
Has anyone tried/got:
-Navicore Bluetooth GPS Navigation Kit - Sony Ericsson P910i (UIQ)
-Route 66 Mobile Europe 2006 - P910i
I'm considering getting one of the above and would appeciate some feedback.
Both available at:
http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/cat/P910i-GPS.htm
Or what about the TomTom Mobil 5?
If they are any good then I don't mind getting either for my P910i as they are relatively cheap compared to NavMan kit. Although I wouldn't want to spend £200+ on the P910 SatNav that isn't any good, I'd rather spend £350+ on the dedicated NavMan gear.
Thanks in advance
Jon

Not the best package to run! I have run all of them but for the amount of money it is and the availability of the package.

I think TomTom would be best, though cost soon adds up if you want extra maps and traffic info.
Route66 is a more reasonable price, though needs a bit more refinement. Runs ok on my P905.
Really depends if you need functions like speed camera POIs and traffic info - that can make the shortlist a little shorter

Prior to the P910 I was a tom tom fan.. but now I actually like Wayfinder. Like the others you can download what maps you need from your PC to the phone, but, if you suddenly find yourself unexpectedly anywhere it works on GPRS. Its has more up to date maps. Its much quicker to calculate a route, has much better points of interest support, can work across borders it has traffic (free until it is working properly then it will be extra after a month) and speed camera (free) support.
YMMV

Thanks!
So am I right in thinking that for normal A to Z routes, traffic avoidance you DON'T need to use GPRS for additional features using wayfinder? ie - does it provide me with the same functionality as a normal all-in-one satnav unit (maybe with exceptions of POI, etc)?
Thanks

It still uses some GPRS to search, calculate the route and for traffic avoidance but all traffic avoidance systems do. But no downloading of maps.
Its not free to use it in as much as there are still some GPRS costs and if it was my only sat nav it MIGHT be an issue but I only use it in hire cars and on foot. YMMV

Hmmm, I'm not too keen on it using GPRS for obvious cost reasons, as it would be my mail SatNav unit.
I think I'll probably be better off with an all-in-one solution then.
Thanks for yout help guys. Good job
Jon
