Default Best set up for Tom Tom Gps on PDA

I have just bought myself a Dell X51V PDA and am looking to get Tom Tom to go with it. Am I best getting Tom Tom and their bluetooth GPS reciever or is it better to get a GPS reciever to go in the CF slot on the PDA.

However if I do this I will need to keep swapping out the CF card I intend to buy to give me more storage - this is all on the assumption that my SD slot will be tied up with the preinstalled Tom Tom maps etc.

Can anyone help me - or give a PDA virgin some advice!!

Ed

Personal pref Ed:
The Bluetooth option leaves your CF card free as you have said, also can be positioned anywhere. Sometimes have problems connecting the Bluetooth but eventually all work.

Hiya
I have a bluetooth gps and is is great, paired it first with the pda, turned on tomtom making sure the gps had found the satalites and all is working great.

I use my cf card slot to install all programes that dont run when win starts, otherwise they go in ipaq file store, this leaves the sd slot free for my mp3's card or tomtom.

You wont be dissapointed in a bluetooth gps

I don't see the problem with a CF reciever - I have the SysOnChip CF III+ reciever that works every time with my iPaq2210. And I can take it out easily enough if I want to use any of my other cards - after all when I'm using the sat nave I'm driving so other applications are irrelevant. And it works fine behind a heat reflective windscreen on my 307. Of course you could try one of the powered mounts that include the GPS receiver, single power cable and CF slot free.

I dont see anything wrong with them, i seriously looked into one myself.
I just prefer the bluetooth as i can leave it in the car, in the glove box or in the sun visor.
The one i bought auto turns off, can pickup 32 satalites, works indoors, lasts a week between charges and i dont have to keep putting something in and out of a card slot. i also use a fm transmitter to play my mps'3 from the cf slot at the same time (i have the silent voice on)

I use a HP RX3715 with TT5 along with a Holux GR-230 Bluetooth GPS receiver and it works well. Does not pick up signal indoors though, which would be nice when planning routes or just playing.
