If so, please post what you are using. Lots of gizmos on fleabay, I want one that that barks instructions at me. I know someone had a Sony street mate a few years back, think they have discontinued now.



Thanks.

I have Navigator on my laptop, works very well, although I haven't used it for a while. I had to put headphones on it though.

LOL, very good Topper.

This was in the days of the old noisy van, the earphones were for me.

I might give it a try. What can I add to my laptop to give it bluetooth (to connect to my bluetooth gps unit)? A dongle?

Might be a bit tricky using the mouse in the car

Found these as being suitable for a laptop:

1 Info Map Navigator
2 Mapsonic
3 Microsoft Autoroute
4 Copilot

Hi Mates,

I have Tungsten T with SD card slot in it.

Is it possible to use it as Navigator? Please let me know.

Thanks!

I use a USB GPS unit, although I'm sure you could get it to work with a bluetooth dongle.

Have a look on the Palm site, there should be some information as to which packages it will work with.
