Anymore info on Toot Toot ? sounds like a msabbeh on Tele Liban

Orion is a full GPS with real time navigation and the maps for Lebanon are up to date + bookmarks and locations. The Symbian version can work without GPS using Operator Network Cell to give you a location within a 500m radius. With many other issues like SMS location.

their site is intro

Supported devices are all WM devices with built GPS or external GPS (All classes) and Symbian devices.

You might not allot of info on their site but their products are available in many Lebanese locations with MIO PDAs or external GPS devices.

As for Toot Toot they mainly have support for Garmin devices and their site i dont have it but this article on Tayyar describe their product without naming the company which is Toot Toot.

Do they let you try the device or the map for free?
How accurate it is?
I've seen the device and it's really amazing, touch screen, very nice display, bluetooth reception and fm transmitter, so it's a hands free for mobile phones....

no i borrowed it for a review...

Its very accurate especially when driving.

The device has many version some with bluetooth and other can play music from memory card etc etc... The bluetooth device can be paired with almost any phone and when you search for info on any POI and u get a phone number u just tap on it and it will dial it for you automatically.

Hi,

I went to virgin megastore at ABC, they have 2 models of Garmin devices, one of them coasts around 500 dollars, the other one 750, the difference is that it has bluetooth.

I'm willing to buy a GPS device, and I need an expert advice.

Go ahead... you will adore it...
