Was tempted about that but was put off by horror stories of ordering from Hongkong such as orders taking months or even not arriving at all.

Also if you have problems with the item, sending it back will cost a fortune.

Yeah same as stick with what's easier in the long run less hassle

Sorry for my ignorance but im a novice as far as pda's are concerned. I have looked through many posts but can't come up with an answer. I have just received my spv m2000 and need to know what I need to use it for sat nav in my car. Could anyone please advice? sorry if their is already a thread on this subject but im in a bit of a hurry as I am heading off for Southampton on a few days and need to get some gear ordered.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Accessories] p1tse:
i am in the same situation as you. from research tomtom navigator with version3 software is the best option with either the gps reciever of bluetooth or wired
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Accessories] ian henderson:
i believe that tom tom 3 is the best but which bluetooth reciever and how much? There are a few on ebay but i dont want to get ripped offwith some cheap inferior one

I just got a Altina GBT-708 BT GPS off eBay, and have been testing it with MS Pocket Streets 2004 (free as part of my MSDN subscription) -- it works quite well, given the limits of the Pocket Streets software. I'll probably try the DeLorme software next -- it's only $35 as opposed to $150 for TomTom, and I'm a cheap bastard :)

The Altina can be had for $75-$100, and supports WAAS/EGNOS for extra accuracy -- it uses the same GPS chipset as the TomTom unit, at roughly half the price. One caveat about the Altina -- it's advertised as being able to work over USB, but it doesn't since it shows up as an different device than its driver expects. Not an issue for me, as both the systems I'll use it with are BT-enabled.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Accessories] cruisin-thru:
The tomtom bluetooth is good, the latest version has a removable battery also. Personally I use a cabled gps because I was having to power the xda in the car so I saw no reason to have a wireless setup when the same plug powers the gps also.

I got a cheap one off ebay, it works fine, paid £50ish, have to manually establish a bluetooth connection with it each time I want to use it but other than that its fine.

I use TomTom on my M2000 and Destinator on the carPC, TomTom wins hands down.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Accessories] jimbo_hippo:
I use an M2000 on Orange with NavMan Smart ST V3. Works superbly and I love the 3D orientation.

Use it with a Holux cradle. You can read a review and my comments there. Mixed opinions on the product from me but the concept is good. Since I posted I have doctored my old nokia dash mount to fix it permanently without the wobble-arm :-)

Still getting lockups if I start SmartST in the cradle. NavMan say they don't support this phone!!!

I did try the tom tom cradle with an external gps reciever but it wouldn't hold on to the port and fell over all the time. Would prefer a similar solution to the Holux but if you want a portable GPS solution the Holux is OK albeit with some issues ....... that speaker!!!!! AAAAGHHH. Fine now though.

A couple of things worth noting...

Just to add a little info to this thread.

I have an SPV M2000. The information I found on the internet at www.globalpositioningsystems.co.uk and www.gpsforless.co.uk says that the TomTom GPS units are some of the best available. Mine works perfectly but I'm sure others are as good if not better.

One argument for wired and as opposed to Bluetooth GPS is as follows.

Wired means that you can use your Bluetooth headset if you get a call during your journey. Also no headset cable to get tangled in your flailing arms as you spin the steering wheel. Minus point unsightly wires across dashboard.

Bluetooth GPS means that you can use your GPS system away from the car as the Bluetooth unit is battery powered. You cannot use Bluetooth headset with it so problems as described above.

Just a couple of points but worth considering.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Accessories] dogo:
Re: A couple of things worth noting...

Sorry I dont belive this to be correct, I have the M1000 and I can/do use the bluetooth GPS and Headset at the same time..

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Accessories] fuzzysb:
I have an M2000 and i can use sat nav and a bluetooth headset, the M2000 disconnects from the GPS and connects to the headset (this process takes about half a second) during the duration of the call, and then it reconnects back to the GPS once the call is over

its true that you cannot use sat nav and make calls with bluetooth at the sametime, but you cannot see the screen or hear the sat nav program during a call, so what does it matter?

but it does switch seamlessly over, so do not be put off using a bluetooth GPS and a BT headset with your M2000
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Accessories] fuzzysb:
Oh, and by the way. the reason i chose a bluetooth GPS is because it is a self contained unit, so when it is powered in the car even when he car is switched off, it has always aquired a signal so no waiting when i get in the car for my position to be picked up
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Accessories] travisb:
I've a Parrot BT CK3000 car kit and BT GPS and both work together fine, although I have less hassle if the GPS and my M2000 are connected first.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Accessories] ffcphone:
Just to clarify things here...

Previously I was running TomTom Navigator 3 on SPV M1000 and now have upgraded to TomTom Navigator 5 on SPV M2000.

On both Pocket PCs and with both versions of TTN, I was able to use bluetooth GPS AND use bluetooth headset to make calls etc without TTN packing up.

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Accessories] gazobee:
Thanks guys, I stand corrected.

Using gps away from the car would probably be useful for walkers and cyclists. I was unaware of the auto switchover. Lets just hope you don't get a call at a particularly complicated intersection.

I suppose that fact that i can sometimes spend 20 minutes on a call in the car would make BT gps useless for me. I'm glad I chose wired.

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Accessories] xda-rocks:
I have both wired and BT. Got the wired one way back with Destinator 2 on my original XDA (Bluetooth not an option at the time). Got BT GPS last year for XDAII and found that as I use SatNav mainly in the car I tend to use the wired one - no conflict with headset and charges the phone at the same time, so I don't have to remember to charge 2 devices. The original Xda connector has worked fine in XDA, XDAII and MDAIII.

By the way, three of my friends have bought the following cheap BT GPS from Expansys

You wanna flash the stock ROM option.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] feel_the_power:
I bought the S2 used.

Came with ICS 4.0.3.

Recently I flashed Omega Rom, why I need to follow the installation of Stock Rom? Because Omega is Sammy based?

So, in your opinion, I need to follow this:

"If you are installing a new STOCK ROM and want to do a Nuke/Wipe then:

1. Reboot into CWM Recovery

2. Install zip from SD card>Run GS2ROMWipe or GS2ROMNuke

3. Reboot into Download mode

4. Install your stock ROM via Odin

5. Re-root your device"

???
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gastonw:
You're gonna flash a stock ROM after you wipe. Stock ROMs are great to see if an issue persists because, if it does, you need to start thinking about a hardware issue.

Did you ask her about the water/whatever?

Sent from...this is not even my S2
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] feel_the_power:
Yes, and she told me that never came into contact with water or liquids.

So, summarizing and concluding, after doing the "[CWM UTIL] GS2ROMNuke/Wipe/Reset/Clean Scripts," I have flashing for example the official 4.1.2 Jelly Bean and then root?

Lastly, view what happens with the phone, right?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gastonw:
Exactly.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] feel_the_power:
The only kernel that I have to root is the Siyah-v3.2b8.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gastonw:
If it's not giving you crap don't flash anything.

You could also flash stock and see how it goes.

[Sprint LG Optimus G] McSkullough:
I bought a LG Optimus G off of Swappa, and it came rooted with AOKP. When I called Sprint to swap out with my Nexus, they were able to add the phone to my account, but not activate it. They said I would have to bring the phone into the store, get it put back to complete stock so they could update the PRL profiles and what not. Here's my question. If I flash a stock ROM onto the phone, would I be able to do that myself? With the AOKP ROM I have, I can't find the PRL profile to update it.

yea once you get back on stock you can activate the device through the system settings.

In creating ChaCha ROM's we have Kernel problem. now some groups started to compile a new KERNEL. we hope that it will be ready for CM10.2 (android 4.3 jelly bean).

Boot from SD card

This is a placeholder for some work I was doing on booting and alternate copy of Windows RT from SD card

by adding extra entries in the bcd store and a ‘copy’ of windows on the SD card

(or a reinstalled version of Windows RT installed onto the SD card)

Note it actually still boots from the system partition on the internal flash but tries to boot an alternate Windows installation from \windows on the SD card

However having problems getting it to find the SD card volume at boot time

Still working on that

and on how to use the recovery environment to install the OS onto SD card

Best to have a Class 10 SD card

But now moved on to dual booting Windows RT and RT 8.1 (both from internal flash)

Also working on booting a full OS from USB stick
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] Myriachan:
That'd be quite cool. It'd also be an important part of a Linux or Android port to Surface RT. You could make an extremely-stripped-down Windows RT installation that boots just enough to run some exploit automatically. The exploit could load a kernel driver to do the equivalent of kexec() into Linux.

Such an installation on a USB stick could be a bootable Linux live "CD" as well.
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] southbird:
Someone just needs to actually come up with that exploit first. :) I'd totally convert my surface to a Linux device if it was available ... Windows is nice and all, but I love that warm, fuzzy feeling of having full control of hardware I own. I got CyanogenMod on just about every Android device I have, and getting out of the restricted RT arena would be awesome.
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] Myriachan:
The general idea behind netham45's exploit (which originates with a Google guy) would actually work for this. If you control the entire boot image, you can make cmd.exe start a script and cdb very early. There exists a modification to the technique to do the exploit without the two-minute instability problem.

If Microsoft doesn't lock out the 8.0 bootarm.efi, this would keep working after 8.1's release--just boot 8.0 to do this part.

The difficult part of this entire thing to me is how the hell to write Linux drivers for hardware we know nothing about.
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] SixSixSevenSeven:
Linux for tegra might be a start, think that is now upto tegra 3 specs. But there are still several unknowns like you say. Some disassembly might clear up a few more unknowns (is the screen DSI or LDVS, which interface is used for the storage as there is more than one which would be capable for eMMc usage).

We do know that all the sensors are i2c devices at least.

But yeah, there is alot of work for a community to do in order to port linux to the surface. Not unless microsoft release a few datasheets which they have no reason to. Making matters worse, not all RT devices would be the same so the surface RT would need a different port than dells qualcomm based tablet. Even the tegra based tablets might need a different BSP to each other.

I do think though that if there was linux on the surface RT then I would probably consider getting one. Would at least double the chances at any rate.
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] southbird:
I'd imagine focusing on one at a time would keep you from getting overwhelmed, and I would think the stock Microsoft Surface RT is the one that makes the most sense to start with, at least get a proof of concept working. As far as "hardware we know nothing about", the Tegra itself is pretty well documented and I imagine it operates essentially the same as it does anywhere else.

I would imagine stages to doing this:

1) Figure out the exact sequence to stop Windows and disengage the kernel, watchdogs, or whatever else in a stable way to start executing arbitrary code in RAM, with some kind of POC demo, e.g. getting data out over I2C or something, which we ultimately will need to debug a kernel.

2) Once this has been accomplished, start playing with ARM-based Linux bootloaders, with console output happening over I2C or whatever else works. This can allow for just trying to get the kernel to run, even if at first this renders a completely non-interactive device.

3) If you get this far, obviously now it's all about getting the magic mix of drivers...

With an actual kernel running, most likely a lot of hardware would become more easily identifiable, and we could at least figure out where we stand. Of all these things, I imagine #1 is the most difficult to overcome, but there's been some suggestions.
