Re: GPS Navigation

Radon,

I am considering HP 6515. How is it as a phone and pda? I tested and it seems to have some reaction problem. As for GPS, does it keep prompting you telling u to turn and turn? If radio is on, how will it prompt me to turn?

Thanks for your help.

Works pretty well for me. It would only start when you are driving or moving off..the cells would detect teh mvt.

Re: GPS Navigation

For a fast solution, get the HP6515...comes complete with SG map and M'sia too

I have the in-car one and the 6515...for double accuracy

Hi Randon39, when you say that you have the in-car one, do you mean that the map is shown on the i-drive screen? Is it good? Do you think if I should get it? My opinion is that the i-drive screen seems to be under utilized. I'm using it only for PDC.

YEs! For your model, the E60, the GPS display would appear on that i-drive screen. I have seen the new GPS software, pretty cool and intuitive

Re: GPS Navigation

Radon,

Whats the map(brand) you are using with 6515? Does it fit into the screen? Heard that 6515 is square face and normal ipaq is rectangular and might have some screen problem. Is the map compressed in view?

Thanks.

You can zoom in to area that you want. Not much of an issue to me

Come for the meetup this Sunday and you can test it

Re: GPS Navigation

ok quick update, was at Comex today and I supported the economy by getting the hp 4700 package that comes with the BT GPS... need to charge the devices for the next 8 hours, so I guess I will still need to read the road map tomorr when I need to go to Aljunie ................

The package comes with king map......... any good? Anyone one got other maps?
