how would this co pilot work on a windows smart phone?? doesnt sat nav work via GPS?

 

[f1fan111]

if ms smartphone has bluetooth then just pairs with a bluetooth GPS receieve as you can find on ebay

 

[tomdbomb61_djtj]

coolio

You could always load TomTom onto the phone instead if you wanted.

All depends if it is a Pocket PC smartphone.

 

[tomdbomb61_djtj]

its the T Mobile MDA VArio, there is an option to pauy an extra £50 and get Co Pilot installed and i am trying to see if it is worth getting

 

[sneeks]

You can install TomTom onto that phone. May be worth paying the £50 if that's going to include the bluetooth GPS receiver.

It works!! we have got it on one of our works phones in the van with a bluetooth GPS Parrot Car kit........it works, gets us about anyway!! To be honest.........it gets you to where you are going so..........result lol.

T Mobile want £59 extra for this Co Pilot, otherwise the phone is free. any ideas how much this would cost to add on yourself?

 

[sneeks]

You'll easily pay more than that if you purchase seperately.

 

[sneeks]

Costs £180 if bought on its own.

does copilot work with the N80?

I bought mine and ran it on an Orange c500 two years ago nearly, now have it on my c550. I hear tomtom is better, but this was out before tomtom and came with speed camera alerts all pre-loaded. it's not the most intuitive S/W, nor is the GPS receiver I have (size of a packet of cigs almost; branded CoPilot) anywhere near as good as recent chipsets a la tomtom.

The CoPilot 6 looks v. swish tough, thought of upgrading to it myself.

It's a godsend though, as any half decent satnav is
