For anyone that would know, I would be curious as to how this device compares to the other BT GPS units reviewed over at gpspassion.com ?? __________________ Jonathan (JonnoB) "All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing." -Edmund Burke

http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/foru...tart=10#136320 for gpspassion's "pre-opinion" (at least of Pharos's Ostia software). But I still remember the old debates between proponents of Pharos vs. CoPilot software (way back when)...

P.S. drop, how much did you get the 1GB CF for, Buy.com's $185? Just curious...

As far as I know NMEA requires 4800 baud. To me that says it may not work with some of my software. Also it says it works with Street and Trips, but Street and Trips doesn't work with Bluetooth devices on PocketPC devices. David

It's ~$220 for a Viking 1 GB at Amazon. Minus a $50 MIR makes $170, and if you spent over $250 on electronics (before rebates) you get a $50 Amazon gift card, making net cost $120 if you count the gift card

I bought a wireless G router to make the $30 difference (i needed to order one for the office anyways, and i get reimbursed for it).

found out through AnandTech and BargainShare.

If you do this, just be sure to not take free shipping - it's possible if you do you may get your items after it's too late to submit the rebates :?.
