Yellow Cooper SatNav install using Compaq Ipaq and Bluetooth.

Finally got around to sorting out SatNav, heres my requirements :-

1) To utilize the Compaq Ipaq 3970 I have. (Bluetooth version)
2) To be fully portable so I can use it in both our cars. (Mini and Fabia)
3) To be able to use Europe maps (as I work in Europe sometimes).
4) Able to walk around with the system
5) Ideally to be able to use system in conjunction with an Intercom system on my motorcycle.

Heres what I ordered :-

1) Navman 4400 Bluetooth with SmartST Pro mapping software (£370) http://www.navman.co.uk
2) Expansys (http://www.expansys.com) cup holder mount (£23+vat)
3) 256MB SD expansion card (to hold all the maps I need) (£58+vat)

I still need an in-car power lead for the IPAQ, but can pick that up anytime.

I hope there are some pics below.....
