GPS?????

Phone was free (from work - £260 for an unlocked "developers" uncertified unit) otherwise free on contract if with Orange, or £160 pre-pay (then unlock the phone).

TomTom Mobile is £160 or so and comes with the GPS receiver and a 256MB mini-SD card with the software on. Word has it that you can download TomTom from eMule apparently, but you'll still need the GPS receiver (say £90) plus a 256Mb or bigger card (say £40) making TT a decent enough buy, and it all works together first time too.

Boxit case was £12 from www.mobilefun.com.

Already had the RAM arm and made an attachment for the Boxit case using a piece of old perspex numberplate :D

Autocom did the headset lead for me for free, but I also soldered one together (badly) also for free.

Speed camera downloads: free.

Total cost to me: £160 for TT plus £12 for the case = £172 for street level GPS with redirection bla bla and speed camera alerts.

If you are on Orange contract, you can probably sort an upgrade to the SPV C500 out.

Result!
 
Thanks EJ & Raindancer

I can't believe the amount of information on the 2610 v other models/makes, the positioning, the type of mounts and configuration permutations.

I'm going for the 2610 to fit my my "standard" 1150GS but yet to make my mind up about the mounting - bugger!

I'll probably research a bit more and then buy soon.

Many thanks for the assistance guys.

Bob
