Afternoon folks

I have just ordered one of the above XDA's with a view if using it for SAT NAV purposes. My company was due some upgrades so this was free and looked a nice wee gadget!!

Other than what they sent in their basic box etc. what else will I have to get to run sat from this??

I mean, will I need to get a GPS Receiver etc or does the thing come built in for sat nav purposes.

Cheers

You will need bluetooth GPS receiver, navigation software & maps, a big enough SD card to hold the maps and a car cradle (powered ideally).
