Hugo van der Kooij: Palm

NEDERLANDS | ENGLISH

I have been a Palm user for ages. I started out with a Palm III and later mode to a Palm Tungsten and just recently (2007-03-10) did I switch to a Palm TX. The option of BlueTooth, WiFi and 1 320x480 screen make it a usefull device. I wanted a seperate phone as I can not combine some action in a single device.

With tools like NetChaser and APmapper one kan map Wireless Access pOints on the road and add them as POI to the Tom Tom navigator. There is however a bug in the APmapper software where I hacve to select anothe map instead of my native BeNeLux map.

Getting files from and to the Palm is in fact easy with the CardReader software. It will allow you to access your SD card as a USB Mass Storage device. So I found this CardReader software a good investment.

I am considering to publish my AP lists and allow fellow chasers to add the free Access Points as well to a database. It will propably happen over a rainy weekend afternoon. If you want to do something yourself you need the ov2tools. See also: ADDING NEW POINTS-OF-INTEREST DATABASES TO TOMTOM NAVIGATOR. I finished the tools which I did put online on my APMAP page.
