Hello all, I am new to the forum.
I have just got my 2i and love it. Want to do the satnav thing now, but would like to know the best BT gps unit to get, i have a Jabra bt headset & Satnav enabled car (screen mount) cradle.
As per my flag i am in the UK.
Many Thanks
I may not be popular for saying this but a cheap wired gps will give you a solution without the attendant agro of bluetooth.
I have an XDA III (ROM flashed to XDA2i O2 UK) and I use Tomtom 3 with the Tomtom Bluetooth GPS. So far I have had no problem at all. My wife uses it with the HP Ipaq 4150 with the same result.

According to the comparison state at least with the big boys like Tomtom:

But how about Pocket Land (www.compegs.com) and OziExplorer from D and L software?

If the software accepts NMEA (the GPS standard) then it should work. We currently have one on test (a colleague not me ) and very nice it is too!
Parrot 3300 car kit and XDAII

Hello, I am the proud owner of a Siemens SX 66 Bluetooth version 1.0.0 Build 3500. While I have no trouble with the BT perofrmance regarding headsets (Jabra 200 and Siemens own ) I can't get the Bluetooth GPS (Bluei http://www.bluegps.com) unit I have to send data to my Street Atlas 2005 application. It seems to pair with no trouble but not effectively send data.
I am afraid to change to build 3900 as I have seen posts that it adversely effects the headset performance. Does anyone have a suggested fix or a suggestion for a different GPS unit that is known to operate with this build?
Aside from this issue I am very pleased with the device having just moved over to PPC from a treo 600.
Thanks to anyone that can help.[/i]
I'm not sure my situation fits your case but I have been using the Navman Bluetooth GPS 4100 with my O2 XDA IIs without any problem. However, the software I use is CoPilot Live Pocket PC 5 and that software manages the Bluetooth GPS communication by itself without having me manually bonding it through the O2 XDA IIs Bluetooth manager interface.
Bluei doesn't seem to be a well-known brand so I suspect their GPS is the problem. If you want, you can go out to CompUSA or Fry's or Best Buy... and try to buy a Navman Bluetooth GPS to see if you can make Navman Bluetooth GPS work for you. I guess once you know your Siemens SX66 is not the problem you can then decide to keep that Navman Bluetooth GPS or return it to find a better deal somewhere...
The Navman Bluetooth GPS I'm talking about looks like this

Most store seems to carry the 4410 models but the GPS itself are essentially the same in every models.
Hope it helps
As much as I hate to have to buy another GPS unit I think you are probably correct. Thanks for the advice.

i am seriously thinking about getting this to use with my orange spv m500. as it will be a nice and neat solution to both a handsfree kit and a gps reciever. Was just woundering if anyone has used one of these before and how they would rate it and more importantly if they would recomend i get it or not. As don't want to spend all that money if it's rubish!!!
Thanks,
Tom
How have you got on with a Hand free kit, did you get one? If so which one?
I uses the Bluetooth TomTom GPS and find it very useful.

All,
I have an XDA2i that I don't use as a phone (as I also have an XDA mini S) What I do want to use the XDA for, is handheld GPS and so want to use the SD-502 GPS Receiver. But the XDA2i is not compatible with the SD-502 due to the phone part of the XDA.
Is it possible to reload the OS of the XDA2i with the OS of a compatible PDA??
I'm trying to search out a solution before I am forced to sell the XDA2I and buy a compatible PDA
Hope you can help

Hello,
I would Welcome advise on which bluetooth headsets people use with their orbit.
I currently have a Motorola HS850 which although does connect to the orbit, does not transmit any sounds. (except for a beep to say its connected !)
So anyone who has a Orbit running the o2 WM6 and actually has a working bluetooth headset to make calls on I would appreciate knowing about, thanks.
Steeve,
We've tested the QStarz range on the entire current HTC range and O2 range and they all work fine. The BHQ-360 is popular and cheap.

Hope that helps.
