Guest watek Posted April 20, 2003 Report Share Posted April 20, 2003 Hi all, Just seen GPS kit for SPV on ebay: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...&category=15005 Has anyone tried, I know it uses streetmaps so GPRS costs through the roof but I cannot find a website with more details on.

Guest midnight Posted April 20, 2003 Report Share Posted April 20, 2003 hmmm, actually, i could be wrong, it does state spv but, i cant find anything about this on the web at all, which looks err, kinda dodgy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mcwarre Posted April 20, 2003 Report Share Posted April 20, 2003 Had a look, Fairly standard receiver. Don't see how the software side would work; pocketstreetmap and navigator run on CE, but I doubt it would run on SPV. Also would need drivers for the SPV to recognise the GPS rx. I think that he is just saying that it will physically fit the SPV (using XDA connector). So you could buy it, but it wouldn't work on the SPV.... Am downloading a trial version of pocketstreetmap just to check. Will let you know... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest @ngel Posted April 27, 2003 Report Share Posted April 27, 2003 Isn't there any other GPS for SPV? I don't have my own yet! Hope to get it this week! If there is any GPS, please let me know! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest karmapolice Posted April 28, 2003 Report Share Posted April 28, 2003 Hi, I just emailed the guy running the auction and he told me that Solar GPS works perfectly on the SPV but he's waiting for the software from www.streetmaps.co.uk. He also said to hassle them about this which i did...so if more of us hassle them maybe we can see a fully working GPS system on our SPV's sooner rather than later.

Regards Karmapolice Er sorry but if he hasn't got the software and certainly wont have the drivers, how on earth does he know it works perfectly on the SPV? :? I smell something and it aint pretty ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest karmapolice Posted April 28, 2003 Report Share Posted April 28, 2003 Richie how do we know that he doesnt have the drivers or a beta version of the streetmaps software. Maybe he's written his own drivers...you could ask him. Karmapolice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
