TJ35 Sat/Nav and video play back

[Essexlandy]

Hi

This is my first visit here, so a big hello.

I have a TJ 35 and I want to start using it for more than just MP3!, can I use it for Sat nav/GPS. And if so what do I need? I gather I need a GPS mouse but what software? All I can find is Tom Tom for windows based PDA's

I have just downloaded Kinoma Player 2 I gather that this will allow me to play Video back on it? do I need Kinoma Produceer to allow me to convert the files?

Sorry for all the questions.

Thanks for the help in advance

Your gonna have to do a bit of moding, searching, and stuff to make GPS work. The reason is that most GPS devices for PDA's are BlueTooth enabled or fit only into specific devices. Unfortunately, none of the TJ series models have built in BT and the BT MS doesn't work with OS 5.

For the retail Kinoma Player, you'll need Kinoma Producer to convert to Kinoma format. However, it's not worth the money. I suggest MMPlayer which gets updated frequently and supports multiple formats, or if you'd want I can ask "my sources" to get you a free copy of Kinoma for the TJ37 that supports MQV format and can play converted videos by Image Converter (comes on CD) on the special Kinoma with MP4 codec.

That's what I was gonna say!

So MQV's codec is MPEG-4, hmmmm.... Thanks!

Thanks for the help I have downloaded MMplayer and will give it a go!

I think I can use a USB GPS mouse for Sat/Nav I have got some free mapping software called street pilot so i'll try that

[ir803]

what is Street Pilot and why do you have it free is it available to download online or is it a demo ?? I am looking at serial and BT gps recievers but am hesitant at spending at least 70£ gbp on mapopolis.

I am not sure that mapopolis covers the UK, although it is a while since I looked

[ir803]

what is the best (value) serial gps mouse or bluetooth gps unit that will work with the NX73v, I just got caught out by purchasing a GPS mouse that will fit any T or N series clie and the seller now tells me it won't fit the Nx.

[ir803]

will this work ?? ebay gps link here (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=4668&item=5725188816&rd=1)

Right I have found leads to allow me to connect a garmin GPS to a CLIE http://www.gpscity.com/ I have also aquired a copy of Mapsonixc so Gonna give that a go.

I have bought Kinoma, but cannot get it to play video files, any ideas?
