Default I Want a GPS receiver for Axim x50v

I am looking into a GPS for my PPC Dell Axim x50v. Any suggestions? Should I go with Bluetooth ? Any help is appreciated.

If you can afford it, sure. The BT devices work extremely well, don't add any bulk directly to the Axim (like SD or CF) and can really be wire free, as long as you don't need it to last longer than your PPC battery. Typically the PPC gives out before the GPS. If you need them to work longer, you are likely in a car and can plug them in.

There are tons out there from $150 to $300, with and without mapping packages. I'd say you need to decide what you want out of a mapping package first and then see if it comes with a usual GPS, and if that is the best way to buy it.

There are lots of comments here, but you will find lots of reviews over at www.gpspassion.com. Note that where you live and travel, does have some impact on which packages may be more appropriate than others.
