I would go with TomTom Navigator, BlueTooth. TTN has great software and reasonably up to date maps. Your 2210 has BlueTooth, and it communicates very well with the wireless GPS Receiver from TomTom. I wrote a review of these for pocketnow.com. You can check out my TomTom Navigator review here ( http://www.pocketnow.com/index.php?a=portal_detail&t=reviews&id=299 ).

Going this route also insures that you get to keep the GPS Receiver and use it with any other PDA you upgrade to that may also have BlueTooth. Its a little more expensive, but in the long run, will be worth it.

Hope this helps!

It uses Compact Flash and the 2210 (I own a 2210 too) doesn't have Compact Flash.

Im looking for GPS too, so if you find any good with a decent price tell me ;).
