Orange SPV M2000 and Navigation Software

[T5GRF]

Just looking at upgrading my phone to an SPV M2000, firstly anyone got one on here that can give me an unbiased opinion, secondly I wanted to try and use the handset with some form of navigation software (Tom Tom?) anyone done this? if so how easy is it to set up and use? and where could I find the software.

I am a complete technical idiot!

Thanks in advance for your help

Hi there, I have one but dont really use it as a phone...


The PDA is great in my opinion..

just installed TomTom Navigator 5 on it but need to get a GPS mount for it..

Email me off line if you wish for a good value source of the application.

Had mine about 4 months and 3 replacements keep having problems with not being able to hear people and you have to reset the phone to cure it as a PDA its ok. There is a new model coming out the SPV M5000 I thing which is 3g enabled so faster downloads for your emails

Well.. My GPS mount arrived this morning and the whole package works brilliantly.. much much better than the sat nav built into my car

hi
I have just got an spv m2000 phone, it will be helpful if someone can inform me which is the best sat nav compatable with this phone and how much it costs. And if you have delt with any good suppliers.

I've been running an SPV M2000 with TT Navigator 5 for a while now, and it's proved to fairly problem free. One key tip is to update to version 5.1 of TTN5 as soon as you get the software installed - update via the Tom Tom website. This disbales the auto-detect of the built in keyboard and gives you a screen-based keyboard, which is loads better for entering postcodes etc for setting up routes. This update also seems to clear up a problem I had with irregular pairing with my bluetooth GPS - all now solved post update.

Like some of the earlier posts, I don't use the M2000 as a phone - however, as a pda it's great. The new M5000 that was mentioned may be worth a look though....

Hi I'm new here but have just been looking to see what experiences you've had with GPS and the SPV M2000. I note some people experience the same problem as I do (have had 5 M2000's all the same, but apparently I have just been unlucky and no-one else has the problem) with calls made or received and no sound in or out. I cure the problem by enabling bluetooth then disabling (quicker than reset) and I can sometimes do it without loosing the call.

Has anyone used the ThinkNAVI cradle with M2000 and if so what software.
