Hi folks,

I recently bought (reasonably cheaply) a second hand Navman for my Ipaq. Whilst it seems to work ok, I am decidedly unimpressed with its navigation capabilities. On one trip the route it was going to take me was over 100 miles further than I needed to go!!

What I was wondering was whether TomTom navigator 2 is any better, and will it work with the Navman gps receiver I already have (seems silly to buy another one). Also are there any navigators out there which allow you to enter a route in advance and just get it to guide you, (so I can be sure it takes me the way I want to go)?

Thanks,
Iain

Iain,
Navigator 2 is supposed to be the dogs danglies!!!! I have just ordered it for my Dell Axim, so I can tell you how good it is in the near future.

Regards,
Shaun.

I'd be very interested to hear what you think of it Shaun

Thanks,

Iain,

I've been using TTN 1 & now TTN2 for quite sometime now and have been impressed with it. The only slight bugbear I have with it is the length of time some route calculations take, but of course this is dependant on CPU speed, Media speed etc. I have an aging iPAQ 3630 and use a 2Gb PCCARD for storage.

You can plan routes in advance and switch between navigation, map and instruction views. Both the map & instruction views would let you check the calculated route.

for further info I'd advise you to take a look at:

Shaun: I was thinking of getting the 300mhz Axim as I only want it for navigation wired to my Road Angel and running tom tom 2 software

Let us know how you get on mounting it in yer scoob, want to know where the best mounting kits are obtained from.

Pictures are good

Dont forget the Fujitsu Siemens PocketLoox either. The Loox2 will be out very soon.

Druddle: any idea when it will be in the shops and any details please?

M8 of mine has the PocketLoox1 and the screen does not have good resolution
