Question P910i - Sat Nav, what do I need?

Bought a 2nd hand P910i to play with - what do I need to convert it to use for Sat Nav in the car? Is it just Tom Tom software and a bluetooth GPS receiver?

Thanks

Yep. That's it really. You'll need something to hold the phone in your car. I bought a generic PDA holder that mounts on the inside of the windscreen using a sucker. I'd also advise an in-car charger if you dont already have one as TT eats the battery so you'll want to have power going to the phone.

Oh and TT goes on your duo pro memory stick so it helps if you have one of 512mb of bigger.

You need the software specific for UIQ. If you have that then yes. The maps are the same whatever version.

You can get software from Fleabay - such as Route 66. Maybe about £5-£10. Good value

Then of course the receiver too - another Fleabay purchase <£50.

All in £50-£60 and works well too.

If you're going that route then you don't have to buy the software if you know where to look.
