SubscriberI have recently bought a bluetooth gps for my Ipaq, $100 to my door, works great and means i can have the sd card slot free for a 1 gig sd card with maps etc on it and no leads. It came with a cigi lighter charger that will also power/ charge the pda.

inc, there is a little bluetooth pic on the GPS receiver in the photoor are you talkin about the PDA itself?
personally I've got a Holux GPSlim236 - available locally (to me in Singapore) and runs the Sirf III low power, ultra sensititve chipset - runs for about 10 hours before recharging and can use *cough* free *cough* garmin maps on my PDA. I use GPS proxy (open source software) and Garmin Que mapping software. Garmin routable maps are available all over the place for download and you can use the tracks4australia set to navigate everywhere but the fine print in cities.
Total cost: S$199 or about A$160

I have a PDA compatible GPS (SDIO type) here, complete with carry case and an external antenna with about 3 m of cable.Originally Posted by JimmyB
My PDA didn't live through the rather harsh interjection with a narrow bridge wall and the following roll over into the river - but the GPS survived
Without the mapping software it just shows direction, elevation and vehicle speed.
I don't need it - you are welcome to it if you cover the postage - would be no more than 8-10$.

Yeah it does have Bluetooth....

That would be great...... What sort of software should I look at getting to suit...
