Hi thinking of getting sat nav in my car. After seeing my mate with sat nav on his xda 2 phone.
Basically whats the cheapest way of doing it?
A standalone system?
or getting a 'smart phone' and buying a gps mouse (plus the sat nav software 'tomtom' which i can get for free'.
Anybody?

cheapest is the way I did it:
BUY a HP PDA (mine a HP5550) (£100)
BUY a small blue tooth GPS unit (£40)
Holder (£10)
TT Software: Dodge copy (£25) Proper (£75)
Bobs ya uncle SAT NAV.
(Means you also get a pda device aswell for everything else you need.)
Or buy a TOM TOM KIT FOR £399.99 Which one ya gonna do lol
I PREFER IT ASWELL USING A PDA AS YOU DONT HAVE TO HAVE IT IN THE WINDOW, I HAVE MINE WHERE THE CIG LIGHTER WOULD BE. WILL TAKE PHOTOS TO SHOW YA LATER MATE
