I am looking at getting a handheld GPS gadget as a Christmas present. I already have an iPaq with Navman jacket, it is OK for in-car etc but I dont use it for that, I want a handheld device with long battery life for use when walking/hiking. I need to have maps to OS level, I currently have...

For those who are into GPS, there's an interesting account of the www.pocketgps.co.uk visit to a NAVTEQ data field office at http://www.pocketgps.co.uk/navteq.php It describes how new roads are checked by NAVTEQ staff, and how software version releases are rolled out. Forrest

I've recently had a Becker Indianapolis GPS installed in my ML & I wanted the GPS aerial to be hidden but the installer said he couldn't find a location under the dash that gave adequate reception so he fitted it on top the dash. I really don't like the look of it here so I wanted to know if...

Hi, STEVE BCS said to me that comand gps antenna is a pasive antenna... Why there is a 5V electricity trought the antenna wire? :confused: Thanks Niccolò (ITALY)

Dear All - My CLK Conv is a mid 1999 build and as such is just prior to DVD/Nav system versions. Anyone had any experience retrofitting a genuine (Comand) unit? And which is the latest version (hardware and software) of the Comand unit that will fit. I am in Australia (Sydney) btw - anyone know...

Quote from another thread by GrahamC230K. Our speedo's are more reliable than most. Measuring against the GPS on my Road Angel (accurate while at a steady speed), I have found that my MB speedo only over reads by 2-3mph from 30mph to flat out. I have found that mine is similar, about 2mph...

I can't afford Comand or Installed Sat Nav at the moment but yesterday I got a Magellan Sportrek Map Portable GPS. I also got the Mapsend Street for the whole of Europe which is amazing software. The unit is about the size of my mobile phone and is accurate to 3 metres. I can display speed...

Sorry to bore you all with my GPS installation... :o I disconnected the battery for the installation, and everything is working fine. However, when starting the car for the first time, the "ABS" and "EPS" warning lights were on for about 20 seconds, then went out and haven't come back...

Just finished the rough installation (need to tidy it up) of the Blaupunkt DX-V, and was wondering how many satellites you normally pick up? Mind, this is in a build-up area, I currently get 6-7, sometimes dropping to 3. The antenna is mounted in the centre of the dashboard at the very front...

I'm getting fed up of removing my BT GPS receiver from the car to charge it and occasionally, on drives up to the north of Scotland, the battery is running out before I get there. So what I need to do is find somewhere to leave it wired in permanently but I don't want it cluttering the dash and...

I fancy GPS in my car. I don't need it, but it looks shiny. Having scanned over ebay I'm torn between a pocket pc with GPS reciever - has the advantage of being colour and offering 3D maps, but possibly with a low contrast screen going by my previous experience with pocket pcs. Or something...

My friends ML has no phone and no GPS installed. He wants to go to COMAND but has no aerial installed. After reading several reports on the poor ML OEM signal strength with the OEM roof setup I wanted to look at alternatives. Has anyone tried it and would they like to make any suggestions ?

hi i have a GPS aerial for sale which would be ideal for use with a comand install or mobile phone install etc. Only prob is that the plug on the end of the aerial is missing so its like the wire has been cut. this could be fixed easily by buying an extension lead and reconnecting it up...
