The Haicom GPS CF wasn't really the best for my in car system as the CF was effectively upside down
(the bulk of gps unit was below the level of the bottom of device
(was really designed for PDA's that had the CF upside down so it could hinge away from user and point straight up
).
So today I spotted a safecom SUGPS-R720
(Ultra
) GPS CF card
(SiRF IIe/LP with xtrac
) for £22 brand new
(total £30 inc next day delivery
). if anyone is intrested this is the device
http://www.ebuyer.com/product/89715 (6 left in stock
)
This CF looks perfect as it is the correct way up and the reciver part of it is more compact than a lot of others I have seen. Not decided how or where sig3 will be mounted but working on it at moment
(also not sure about the GPS
) I also have an older BT device which I will try out when I find a new socket BT card at a good price. However I would still want a CF GPS so I can use the GPS anywhere.
Currently I am looking for a charger to steal the cable from
(to make car charger
) and looking for best GPS software I can get working. Also looking for best big button touchscreen media player software as the Sig3 will be used for Satnav, MP3 player
(through headunit
), Browsing device for when at destination
(got a few other plans but need to see if I can get them to work
).
Will keep people updated on my progress and take some pics of everything as I get it set up.
