Sat Nav Q...

Just wondering if it is possible to put new software onto a satnav system :question:

I currently have a goodmans GNAV10, running destinator. Is there any way to run, say TomTom software on it?

Thanks in advance! :smiley:

no you cant im afraid your stuck wth destinator you might be able to hack the device. as this would invalidate any warrenty and each time you did a reset if the device froze you would have to do the reg edits again ie pain in the ■■■

basicly if want to have choice of software dont by a pna ie go icn etc
get a pocketpc instead then you have the choice of any software nt eh market

Thanks Alix. What about software for mobile phones. A mate of mine has offered me a Nokia 6600 and reckons you can run satnav software on it. Is this true, and if so is the software expensive or possible to download?

Sorry for all the questions! :sunglasses: :smiley:

yep the 6600 will run either tomtom or route66 as will other series 60 series 80 symbian phones also if your on contract have a look at the ornage spvs

Again alix, thanks for the info.

Just a question about tomtom… Is it the only satnav device to offer FULL postcode search and is the said search facility accurate? :slight_smile:

Check the website in Alix’s sig, it has everything you could ever want to know about SatNav and some good forums as well.

Garmin also do a unit now with full postcode search.

Speaking as a user of a TomTom I find the postcode search very accurate (which is more than can be said for DHL’s postcodes!)
