Map update for Axim GPS

mwarbeck · 02-25-08, 08:08 PM

Hi All,

I have an Axim X51v with the Bluetooth GPS receiver. Looks like since Dell stopped supporting the Axim, there's no more map updates from Navteq. Is there any way to get new maps on the Axim? Perhaps third party stuff? Otherwise the GPS is very limited. The newest maps are about two years old.

Thanks.

Yes the updates are availiable directly from Navteq
but it will cost you for them.
Google Navteq.

I tried that. From navtaq.com they direct you to their store at Navteq - Maps for your Dell GPS Navigation System, which as June 2006 maps. That's pretty stale as maps go, and they still want $99 for them.

Yes I know I tried it myself,I have it installed on both the Ax51v and
the HTC 7501.
I can get clearance copies of 2006 Streets & trips with the the gps
rcvr for $40.00 but am making do with what I have.

For the cost of their updated maps you can buy TomTom Or iGuidance.
