Best Gps solution?
Best Gps solution?
Please,
I need to know if someone found a good Gps navigation solution.
Which software? is it saved to a dedicated sd card?
Which bluetooth dongle?
What about speed and battery usage ?

Re: Best Gps solution?
I found someone using Navigon, it seems to work well, so I'll try it.
Anyone tried it ?

Re: Best Gps solution?
Any bluetooth gps device should work - I have the copilot module and it works fine with ndrive,sygic aura, copilot, navdroid. radardroid and of course googlemaps

Re: Best Gps solution?
Does anybody know if a USB GPS receiveir like this http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.26349 can be used somehow?
Seems like a very attractive cheap solution if it can be used..

Re: Best Gps solution?
I don't think any of those would work but cheap BT GPS receivers are pretty plentiful on eBay and other sites. http://cgi.ebay.com/GLOBALSAT-BT-359-BL ... 980wt_1139 for $18 or http://cgi.ebay.com/GLOBALSAT-BLUETOOTH ... _500wt_922 for our friends in the UK around the same price.
Re: Best Gps solution?
OMG I had no idea a BT GPS receiver can be had for less than $20.. I just ordered one.. Life is sweeeeet...
Many thanks for the info..

Re: Best Gps solution?
Navigon is about $70 from the market. It doesn't show up on the A70 due to lack of GPS. Another option is copilot which is $4.99.
I just use google maps navigation. Have my a70 tethered using my sprint htc hero and use an external gps receiver. Works flawlessly. Was thinking about purchasing copilot but google maps navigation is coming out with an offline feature soon.

Re: Best Gps solution?
The 101 has built-in BT GPS. After you pair your device (phone or receiver), go to setttings then location & select ur receiver as the Bluetooth GPS option & enable the networks checkbox above. No 3rd party software needed.... I'm running this right now using my Droid X as the bt GPS & using CoPilot USA on the 101. Its only $4.99 in the market & uses offline maps,eliminating the need for a wifi connection. Here's my mounting bracket from Sears.... $14 http://www.sears.com:80/shc/s/p_10153_1 ... ckType=G40
Re: Best Gps solution?
Well, I received the BT CoPilot BT Gps, it works with google maps, but I need an offline solution, any idea ?

Can it be used for the 70? Is it adjustable?aamon17 wrote:Here's my mounting bracket from Sears.... $14 http://www.sears.com:80/shc/s/p_10153_1 ... ckType=G40
