6800 & Tomtom 920 compatibility
Jan 7 2008, 2:51 PM EST
I have a new Tomtom 920 gps. I'm thinking of getting a 6800 for BT & staying with Alltel, but neither Alltel nor Verizon have any idea about compatibility of any product with Tomtom, and Tomtom doesn't have any info about Alltel. or Any advice? Do you find this valuable?

I purchased Tom Tom Software to go on my Verizon VX6800. It installed great, but Verizon so far has not unlocked the GPS chip inside, so Tom Tom looks for a GPS device, but cannot find one. I think I am going to buy a bluetooth GPS receiver and leave that in my car for my VX6800 to hook up to and then I will have full navigator capability on the my phone. Hopefully someone else finds different, but that is my learning. Do you find this valuable?

Try loading gpsauto behind the TomTom software and it WILL see your TomTom. gpsauto is a very small and useful program also as it has an odometer in it and gives a perfect speed as you move along.. It WILL work as I use it with the Sprint Mogul and you have the same phone. if you have a problem finding gpsauto please email me at [email protected] and I will get it to you..
