I just bought a Socket bluetooth GPS module for use with my ipaq 5450, and i was wondering what GPS software you guys thought was the most worthy...

It's the same answer as it always is to "Which xxxx is the best?" questions - It depends.

What do you want to do - flying, sailing, walking, geocaching, driving?

Where do you want to do it?

good point... my question was rather incomplete.



I want to use it for walking/driving. I currently live in Sweden, but travel rather freely within Europe (and annually to the States and Asia).

My Socket GPS should be on it's way right now. TomTom Navigator looks good. I'll be trying out Socket's own MyNavigator software when I can but I'm not sure what areas this covers.

You've probably seen the front page post on GPS by now...

TomTom Navigator would get my vote if you are based in Europe. Great software and very quick although I don't know how it will perform with the Socket GPS.
