P910i GPS Software Needed
Dec 28^th, 2006 at 1:38pm

I have a P910i and a Bluetooth GPS Receiver (GP-27) that according to Ebay is compatible with my P910i. The booklet that came with the GPS Bluetooth receiver is telling me I need PaPaGo 5 software but when I go to the PaPaGo webpages it does not mention the P910i as being compatible.

Have I cocked up by buying the GPS receiver from Ebay?
If not, will I be OK to purchase the PaPaGo 5 software (UK)?
Can I download a trial version (of any software) to see if it will work and if I like it?
What is the best combination of GPS receiver and Software for the P910i?

Many thanks for your help.

Oh Hi Twigglethead....it's Twigglethead here....I just thought I would write you a nice reply seeing as none of the other 272 people that read your first ever post on this wonderful site have written anything at all!! Shocked

I just wanted to say that there are clearly a great many people out there that want advice on GPS Software so we can use our phones as Sat Nav devices......surely there must be a clever person that knows everything there is to know who is prepared to respond....no.....oh well - it was worth a try.

Hi twigglehead. As far as I am aware, so long as you can pair the bluetooth gps device with the phone you should be fine. When I had a P910, I bought a GPS receiver off ebay and it worked just fine. I used it with tomtom mobile 5 with no problems, and now use it with Navigator 6 on my P990. As for best GPS software, it has to be tomtom mobile 5 on a P910 - no GPRS loading of maps or directions, easy and intuative to use, simple to install - just copy to a decent 1gb pro duo if you want to use a p910 for more than just Sat Nav and you are away. To be honest, the p910 is a much more stable platform than my p990 is now, as I never had it freeze or lock up.

As I don't check this forum very often, I hope this answers your questions

Regards

Phil

Owain, sorry bud....other more important money issues arose and I had to put more essential things higher up the priority list...such as Wifes new hair do and shoes etc...you know how it goes. I do plan....1 day, to get the tomtom 5 software and use my phone for it's orginal intention. Maybe I need to leave my wife in order to make it happen Grin

Good luck bud Cool
