Other GPS brands

EDIT: after reading through the forums i found what I was looking for Thanks for the great site.

Hello Forum users,this is my first post here and I am new to gps.

I was wondering if there was a way to use these poi files in Microsoft streets and trips 2008

I thank you for any info you could give me.

Interesting article re: GPS functions for cell phones. Business Week article here

AT&T has a new PDA/Phone that has GPS built in. Works with many different software including Google Earth and TeleNav.

I own the 8525 and used a bluetooth GPS receiver with no problems.

Kenwood is promoting the AVMAP G5 GPS.

Is there software like Garmins POI loader that will easily allow you to install into MOI and other gps devices and to palm pilot devices???

Looking for info on these models as to whether or not they can handle custom poi's.. JM I have searched in vain and I am very interested in buying one of these models but I want to add my own poi's. Could you find out if this is possible on these gps's??

Thanx,
Ray

I found this test this guy did the other day and thought I would share it here. It's a test of day and night views of several brand/models of GPS units. Thought it would make for a good discussion for those thinking of purchasing a different GPS unit

TomTom says they don't support WM6 yet, but since WM6 runs a lot of WM5 apps just fine, I'm wondering if anyone has tried yet? If so please let me know what version worked for you. I have a T-Mobile Wing (Herald). Thanks,

Shannon

Interesting info showing up on the hybrid Dash Express device.

I am new here..Names Moe, I am in San Diego, Ca. and I have the Kenwood DNX7100 installed in my Magnum SRt8 and was wondering does anyone else here have this unit? If so, How do you go about loading custom POI's from this site to it.

Been reading some pretty good reviews on the Mio C520 and wondering if anyone here has one and what your opinion is. One thing that bugs me is Mio doesn't say which side of the street your destination is on and that could be a problem as some streets are divided by a barrier. Does the Mio take you to the right side of the barrier?

I was looking at the Circuit City flyer from the Sunday paper today and I saw this:
http://www.circuitcity.com/ccd/productDetail.do?oid=164207&c...

Fremont, Calif. — Mio will introduce its least expensive portable GPS device to date, the DigiWalker C220 at a suggested $249.

Mio's C220.

Has anyone else been having problems with the search function in the mio 310x? I have about 5000 POI's that i've installed from this website and for work and it's killing the speed it takes to seach a PIO. Any hints?

Hi there,
Could any one please lead me to some info about USB-Blueooth adapter for my MIO C310X or WinCE4.2, am basically looking to add a Bluetooth adapter (in future a USB-WiFI adapter too) to my Mio gadget so that bluetooth communication from my other gadgets is easy.

Thanks in advance and appreciate the inputs,

I have been an amateur radio operator for several years now and I became interested in GPS much more recently. It was interested to see that Icom has now announced that it will be selling the Icom IC-2820 Dual Band mobile FM transceiver that with have optional GPS receiver capability.

I just recently purchased a GPS but it too three tries before I got one that worked properly. The first unit was called a V7. I bought it from Futureshop here in Canada and it was on sale. It offered GPS as well as MP3 and Mpeg4 playback. It was thin and mounted easily.

My girlfriends dad drives a tow truck and was wondering if you can use the MIO C310x to map to an intersection. Anyone know how to do this or if there is a hack somewhere?

Does anyone have or heard of the cobra gps 1000.

Someone gave this to me but have not heard about it. It is a handheld unit. Big screen and does work nice.. No voice however. Not sure how to use it.. (My friend from work bought a C550 and gave me this one since he no longer wants it) look like fun to play with.

Any thoughts on this GPS?!?

Anyone know how to upload Red light data to an integrated automobile GPS?

I bought a Camry Hybrid that has its own GPS.
