GPS for XDA

[Russ]

One of things I was going to miss when moving to the XDA was a GPS. I have been using TomTom CityMap software, a Pretec CF GPS and an iPAQ. The software is great (I know this is only city based but I can usually find my way from one city to the next and in any event they do route planning or inter city software anyway.) However no CF slot in the XDA and I'm using the SD slot for memory - isn't everybody ! Problem, but perhaps no longer. TomTom are selling new software and a GPS that connects via the base station slot (see web site picture) - with XDA coming soon. If it is as good as their CityMap software it will be great. Check it out at http://www.palmtop.nl/ce/navigator.html. Pester them to release the XDA version soon ! Let the forum know if you get anywhere. Which brings us to the subject of SD cards which is in my next post XDA SD Cards.
