The Diamond and Car GPS Issues

[alex jb]

Are you thinking of buying on line or at a store?
I'd go to a store first and check the connectivity to your diamond, I think it's highly likely it will pair with the GPS unit.

Ok, I think I've figured this out.

You want to use the stand-alone as your speakerphone, right?

My reading of this article:

leads me to believe that you could just put the Diamond into a dash mount and use it that way.

hey folks,

I can confirm the my diamond will not connect to the garmin nor the magellan, at least not the models I'm looking at (in my price range).

Bushrod, yup, thats the law we have here now. What complicates things, I don't believe I will get a ticket, but I know my wife will, and she has another phone (a samsung). I was hoping the standalone GPS would connect to both phones but they won't connect to either.

seems the speakerphone is what I need. Perhaps in a few more years there will be more of a 'standard' out there for bluetooth, GPS units and cells.

i just run garmin mobile xt, and tom tom navigator on my diamond, got em both on an ebay auction for 100 USD and just use a bluetooth headset for when people call, one device...many uses

just wondering, but why would you want to connect the diamond to the stand alone gps?

Someone didn't read the first post very well. It's kind of a law (stupid, I know).

I read the first post and get the law, but I'm wondering what connecting the phone to the GPS is going to accomplish.

handsfree talking, the same as a handfree headset, but in the GPS
