GPS with RDS/TMC

Scouse Monkey · 12-01-2004, 04:38 PM

Been reading some of the threads about TMC info (saw the TMC button on ccsnet's skin and wondered what it was) and found a receiver on the cartft site which has RDS/TMC so i did some more searching and found this info on it http://www.gns-gmbh.com/de/30_gpsrds9830.php and this info on it http://obchod.eurocomputer.cz/produc...d=322667&eur=1
The GNS place also has a CF TMC receiver and FM/RDS/TMC tuner module with stereo audio output.

Well iam sure the GPS part is compataibel with the software used here (eg Destinator 3) but i was wanting comments on the specs of the GPS as to whether it looked any good as I don't know much about GPS hardware and also the RDS/TMC data is interesting.

TheRDS/TMC data is data only - ie no audio part.

They also do a compact flash RDS FM stero with TMC for the PDAs which does have audio - would be a neat addition if it could be got working with XP.
