GPS for the clie?

[BajaDaddy]

I have a Clie NX70V/U and love all the things it can do.... however.... is it able to work on a streets and trips program with a gps, like a tomtom system for instance? If it is possible than the next question is how would i go about expanding the memory to be able to store complex street maps for all of North America?

You can use a memorystick for the maps, I did the cf hack and have all of US and Canada on cf cards, works like a charm. If you have a cf gps device, try the largest ms and put the maps on that.

Search the forums one evening for more information. I recall one of the forum members is using an NX as a GPS and MP3 player in his car. The NX charges while it operates. Really a fascinating setup he must have. I do not rmember the exact thread where I read this information.

As to expanding memory...move as many apps to external memory as possible using a third-party launcher. This will free up some RAM. Check into JackFlash (www.brayder.com). The NX-70 may have some free flash memory that you can use. Lastly, I concur with tkellogg's post to use one of the free CF hacks that allow you to store and retrieve apps and databases on the CF Card.

I think what kiteandcamera is talking about is SONY CLIE PEGA-CC5 GPS CAR CRADLE.

I just bought one from this guy. Expensive but can't wait to get it installed

Oh. Wow. That looks schweet. But the price is indeed really up there...
Costs almost as much as my NX80 did...

:D
I still want one.
