I have an MDA Vario and would like to install bluetooth Sat Nav.

Is Tomtom 6 the best option? (I need European maps).

Where is the best deal?

Also, where do I get a cradle?

Can't comment on any other satnav software but TTN6 is great on my M3100 which I believe is the same type of PPC

See my post about car mounting in this forum fo more info on cradles etc!

Where is your thread?

For cradles try www.handnav.co.uk. Brodit holders and proclip mounts are expensive but about the best i've found.

I agree regarding the Brodit holders and proclip mounts. They're expensive, but there's no guesswork involved since you know in advance that they will fit both vehicle and mobile device.

Thanks guys, I'll check them out.

Is TT6 the way to go?

yep TomTom all the way

Can you load tomtom on to more than one device?

ram33 · 17-12-2006, 8:44 AM

not leagally

the_sanguine · 17-12-2006, 3:00 PM

OK, it's just that I have a vario to use but it may be handy to load it on my phone as well so that I can use either.

I guess your saying, technically yes, legally no.....

I have TomTom Navigator 5 and you are allowed to activate it twice, so you can have a back up copy on another unit. Would imagine Navigator 6 would be the same but I'd check with TomTom

yep tomtom will legally allow a legal copy to be re registered twice, then 1 new device every 6 months i believe

the_sanguine · 27-12-2006, 7:18 PM

Am I better off buying the GPS unit with TT6 or elsewhere?

Daddy k · 27-12-2006, 11:06 PM

your choice matey, i went for the tomtom bluetooth gps, main reason being resale value, people will buy the tomtom name!
im sure theres no performance reason TBH, theres plenty of good units cheaper

the_sanguine · 28-12-2006, 7:36 PM

Thanks

Where are the best deals?

Follow the link to find a bit more about a package that I got for myself. I didnt go down the TomTom route, as found what i needed cheaper. Route66 is available with Europe maps, but I just got UK / Ireland
