There are many different options for that PDA model:

Compact Flash GPS receiver
SD GPS receiver
Bluetooth GPS receiver
Serial Cable GPS receiver

All have there advantages can you advise what you need GPS for and i will try and narrow it down for you. Ie are you only going to use in the car? Are you going walking off road? Do you need to be mobile? What memory cards do you use at present?

Hi and thanks for your reply..
I`m going to be using it mainly for driving as I do about 2000 miles a week to all over the UK, it will follow me around where ever I go as well as the kids will use it if visiting long distant friends.
I also have an idea of using it in the states for a 3 week holiday in California and Navada.. So an all round use for it.
Not too bothered as to the connection, bluetooth or cable.. Probably a bluetooth would be prefered..
One othewr question, can it be used on a laptop with a CF slot?
Cheers
Nigwel..

Hello Again,
At the moment I have a 128MB + wi-fi SanDisk card used mainly to mess about with on my home wi-fi setup.
An upgrade in memory isno problem if its needed..

tbh if you do that amount of miles a week you might want to look at the dedicated in car GPS which can operate alot faster like the tomtom go or the navman icn 510. Dont get me wrong the PDA will get you from A to B ok but for everyday use. I would recommend that you have a look at maybe tomtom 5 bluetooth GPS or maybe the navman 4420. If you want give our sales people a call on Monday their all pre tech and can advise different solutions.
