Hi
I am looking from a very simple GPS program for pocket pc that would be free and displays my speed, altitude and possible heading and location.
It has to be using very large numbers :-)

I'd like to hook up my PDA on my bike and be able to just glance down and see my speed and other info.
I have several GPS programs that I use for geocaching but they all use very small fonts and its very hard to see from distance while riding.
Any ideas?

thanks

gpsDash2 is a great program, kinda pricey, but worth it I think.

What about something like this?

VisualGPSce + Virtcom + POI Observer

Its a bit of a hack, but you can overlay gps data on other gps apps with POI Observer. The text can be is big as you want.

I am building a small utility that may work for what you want. Still in beta testing phase right now though. Hope to have it out soon.
