I am thinking of buying a portable navigation system but have become bemused by the amount of info available.
I have an Orange SPV 500 mobile which runs windows mobile.
Does this phone qualify as a "Pocket PC" which would display the data or will I have to purchase a further piece of kit i.e. an organiser.
I have tried Orange customer service and accesory dept. who did not know "we only sell phones" was their reply.

TomTom have quite a few products for Windows Mobile smartphones. You can buy Bluetooth GPS Recievers bundled with TomTom Nav and maps i believe. This should work out cheaper than buying a TT Go or anything.

I think you just need this.

I know, but I have washed my mouth out after the phrase "PC WORLD" but technology is thin on the ground in Surrey

Hmm...Are you that impatient that you can't order it online!?

I have had second thoughts and resisted the temptation to rush to get it and will take your advice and buy on-line.
The G/F is always saying I should take more time. ;)

I contacted TOTALPDA but they haven't got a price for it yet so will wait for e-mail advising when in stock.
