I have the Socket BT GPS receiver and its AWSOME with my ipaq 5455!

achille, it isnt that bad. A $5 ultra clip vent mount works great with the ipaq and my piel frama case. Plus, when I dont have my ipaq in the car I though my cell phone on the holder (gotta love interchangable clips like that). It's easy getting started... mapopolis software is free and they have demo versions of all their maps.

I use it even for places I know how to get to. Its nice to see how far along I am on the map, eta, time and distance to go, etc.

Btw... Im 17 and have all the stuff I just mentioned (w/ my own money, thank you)... so no excuses for you rich adults

Yeah... All you rich adults with mortgages, bills, child care... oh yeah... and 17 year old sons that eat all your food. No excuses. :roll: :roll: 8O 8O :roll:

What's with the sandwich bags?

:confused totally:

[xoiph]

Sandwich bags are so much cheaper than real cases (after all the mortgages, bills, child care... oh yeah... and 17 year old sons that eat all your food :wink: ) , plus they're waterproof :mrgreen:

This is what you should do... have a little side job/hobby and only give an hour or two to it a week. Can you find that much time? All the profits you can buy whatever you want with it (just pretend you never actually had the money). This is what I do... I run an xbox site and I actually dont do much of anything for it. Anything I do do is just for fun, and I make like $1200 a month from it.

Be creative and money will find you 8)

I just saved up for the Socket Bluetooth CF-card... next up is Socket GPS... I want it, I want it, I want it :multi:

Maybe in the winter time... first I have to rebuild my PC, it's getting too old...
