something simple

[Code Monkey]

I am after a GPS system to provide me with my current speed, not after a great deal more to be honest, simple detection of cameras would be useful but more than that would be too much information to read in the car to be honest.

I have a SPVM500 mobile phone at the moment, i understand i can install tomtom into this but not sure how, does anyone have any good www links worth pointing me in the direction of or has anyone done this already? Would the tomtom do what i want anyway?

cheers,

TomTom does have a speed display but it is very small as its main function is navigation. Using your mobile would require a Bluetooth GPS receiver and a copy of TomTom which comes preloaded onto a memory card which you just slot into your device.

Assuming you get a kosher copy of TomTom, the kit will set you back a couple of hundred quid by which time you could have just got one of these instead.

Shop around though as I'm sure I've seen them a little cheaper than that.

Hope this helps.

I'm running TomTom on my M500 with a Sirf III bluetooth adaptor. Works fine, but the speed is indeed tiny using this software

See the other recent post here re the Talex Lite. Only £70 from Woolworths online with £5 p&p and will give you acurate speed display, fixed cameras, posible mobile cameras, red light cameras and known blackspots straight out of the box. Optional subscription for camera updates but if all you really want is an acurate speed indicator then you cant go wrong at this price.
