Treo 600- Any sat nav systems that link with the 600

[taylorcarl]

Hi all,

I'm thinking about buying a satelite navigation system for my car.

Does anyone know whether you can link a sat nav system with the treo 600?

I presume that's all sat nav systems are is a pda, with added software.

I'm just wondering whether you can put the softward on a memory card and away you go.

Any thoughts would be appreciated

Thanks

Yes, you should check out the Seidio G2500M GPS (Mapopolis + Wired) Car Kit for Treo 600
at the Everything Treo Store.

I've used GPS systems on the 600 - I tended to use the voice commands rather than the visual. The screen on the Treo 600 isn't super sharp like the Treo 650, so it's not spectacular for viewing maps. I had good results with Mapopolis software -- downloading the maps to my SD card. I did get lost once, but that was my fault. I entered Route 94 -- the software came back with multiple choices and I randomly chose one. Route 94 goes through mulitple towns -- the software was guiding me to Route 94 -- but in the town I selected. So, aside from the "pilot error", the software worked great. I recently travelled to San Jose and it took me from my hotel to a restaurant downtown -- voice commands throughout the trip. It even helped when I made a wrong turn!

There are no monthly fees when purchasing a GPS system with software.
