[SIZE=1]note:[/SIZE] You can either use a card reader for your SD card or or leave it plugged in your Treo and use a pc data cable. You can choose either destinations when installing the Garmin Mobile XT files and when using MapSource to load a map.

And don't forget to do back-ups beforehand in case of data loss.

I have to admit that it is confusing ... I was subtly trying to make people read earlier posts. I hope you didn't mind. :evillaugh

If you're selling Tomtom's in the Philippines, does that mean you've got a Tomtom-compatible Philippine map?

I just bought a Blaupunkt Travel Pilot 5.2 mobile navigation (w/ Windows CE 5.0 core OS) which I'm using now here in South Korea. Does anybody know about this brand? Any idea if it can be use in the Philippines? tnx.

kuya S/S -- oo daw according to his post in another forum.

And there are 2 (versions) of Ph GPS maps available for the Garmin... just can't remember the site though...I'm quite sure it's not waypoints.ph...

I'm not familiar, but if it gets position straight from the GPS satellites and you've got a Philippine map, it oughta work. hth.

That's great. One more device with a working Phil. map (Tomtom) should boost the number of users even more.

Could it be the one from Carlos H. Lopez (with the same username)? I have his free map on my pc, too.

Regarding the brand, Blaupunkt has been in the GPS business for quite some time, though not as popular as the others. Unlike the US, there's a multitude of GPS navigation companies here in Europe ... bakbakan talaga sa market. Even Garmin wasn't that popular until they introduced their cheaper PNA's. I remember Blaupunkt's GPS products then being in-dash ... integral to the car's HU and with a disc-based map. With the bulk of sales being PNA's -small, portable units - it's only natural for them to make one too, to stay in the market IMO.

---

As for the Travel Pilot, I'm not familiar with it. If Blaupunkt doesn't have a Philippine map you might just have to wait until it comes up with one.

OR

You might want to inquire about the Philippine map that works on Tomtom, as posted by zki ... and google on how to run the Tomtom navigation software on your Travel Pilot.

It maybe possible ... because I was able to run Tomtom Navigator on my Navman ICN510 PNA (which is actually a Mio PDA on WinCE).

OR

Try installing Garmin Mobile XT for WinMobile. I don't have the slightest idea on compatibility issues between WinCE and WinMobile, so do so at your own risk. I was, however, able to run Garmin Mobile XT for Symbian on a Nokia phone with an older OS than the required version.

Once you get GMXT working, you're home free.

Hehe. Di rin ako familiar kuya. ngayon ngayon pa lang ako nagtitingintingin sa mga topics regarding Navigation as an enthusiast/hobbyist... para naman di nakakahiyang sa positioning/navigation tayo pos wala tayong kaalam-alam sa nav scene sa homeland. hehe.
actually, nahanap ko yung link sa favorites dito sa net pc namin, pero di ko na maload. anyway, nadownload ko naman yung 2 downloadables nila e. yung isa e alleged tried and tested na pang-garmin, yung isa beta test na pang-garmin. gusto mo swap tayo nung map mo? hehe. medyo malaki-laki nga lang 'tong mga file, <10mb yung pinakamalaki.

speaking of phone navs, any idea which bluetooth capable gps receiver (apart from Nokia's) can the E90 work with? TIA.
