I wouldn't touch eBuyer with a barge pole - their service is legendary for been so dire.......be warned!!!!!

thx, been dealing with ebuyer for more than a year after building several pc's for friends

yeah they can be dodgy with slighty late deliveries/faulty goods and damn hard trying to get a return number

but then again they are mostly the cheapest

'can be dodgy with slighty late deliveries'
'faulty goods'

'Poor customer service'?

I wouldnt touch them with a 100,000,000 ft sky scraper, forget a barge pole

Personally, I've never had any problems with either eBuyer or Dabs, although it seems fashionable to say that both are sh1t :rolleyes:

just ever now and then plus maybe it's the parcel delivery people that also make mistakes

I''m also thinking of getting a 2210 to use with GPS and TomTom Navigator. Let me know how you get on.

Thats exactly what I have.

IPaq 2210, Tomtom2 and a CF Rikaline GPS receiver.

It is fantastic, accurate and save my license more that once with the speed camera locations stored in it.

Highly recommend it.

Mine turned up today. HP 2210, Tomtom 2 and Tomtom Bluetooth GPS receiver. 2210 is currently being charged for the first time...

Despite my originally thinking the GPS receiver was going to have to go on the rear parcel shelf, I've got it mounted upside down in the windscreen -- in that black area near the rear mirror where there's no heat reflective stuff. Works well -- can usually see 5-6 satellites.

Mounting the PDA in the car is a little more difficult. The CC doesn't have any flat surfaces on the dashboard. The air vent mount on the driver's side centre air vent seems to do the trick, but it's not ideal.

The TVR is even worse! The suction cup and arm mount goes nicely on the windscreen, putting the PDA in the perfect position. But it's obviously designed for cars with soft suspension, as it bounces up and down all the time

Have anyone tested the 307CC's GPS ?
Here in Finland they sell that GPS to 307CC as on option, sounds very interesting

What did you use to mount it there? I have a dash mounted one and I am thinking it might be better there but I am not sure how I can stick it there.

The tomtom bluetooth GPS unit comes with a magnetic mounting bracket. You stick this to the windscreen with some very sticky Scotch sticky stuff that it comes with, then clip the GPS unit into it. It's held in mechanically and by magnetism. Seems to work well.
