Mobile navigation
During the past couple of weeks I've travelled in cars equipped with mobile navigation systems and I'm hooked. I'm not that fond of driving - especially when I have to find my way to a place I've never been before. And of course that's where navigation systems come in handy. So, because I already have a Loox PDA I decided to go with the mobile navigation solution of TomTom Navigator 2 and a Holux 270 CF GPS. The bundle arrived yesterday complete with external antenna and car fittings. My Loox is now equipped with a 256 MB SD card so that it can hold the complete map of Germany. A quick trip round town yesterday proved quite successful although I'm still working out how best to mount the PDA in the car.

Done the same with Acer n10, TomTom 1 and Pretec CF CPS. Mounted the Carholder with suction-cups on the windshield. There's only one cable to the power supply. It's absolutely free & mobile. Even between different cars and can also be used by foot! I bought this because I've got absolutely no orientation - even on a highway with no exits around me ;o)
