GPS?

[od1]

Just wondering if there are GPS/navigational systems available for the iPAQ; specifically the h1940. Anyone...?

Replying to yourself doesn't make u a loser. :mrgreen: I found a relevant previous post in the forums that answered my question. The only reason I'm not deleting this thread is incase anyone else is wondering...

Hello,

I'm planning to travel from CT to AR next month and I was considering to buy a GPS to help me on the road, but some doubts came up (I have an Ipaq 1940):
1-Which GPS interface is better: Bluetooth or SDIO? And about brands?
2-Since I'll travel through PA, OH, KY, TN, AR, should I buy a memory card?
3-I have read some reviews and some users have bought only the GPS receiver, not the whole navigation package. Any opinions?

Thank you all!

1 - Bluetooth is better. As far as I know, there's only one SDIO GPS card, and it's not very good. Besides, using bluetooth means your SD slot is free for memory.

2 - Yes, you'll need to buy a memory card. The program I'd recommend (Routis 2004 ) uses 54 mb just for Southern California. The states you'll be travelling through will have less data, so you should be fine with a 256mb SD card.

3 - The only thing you need is a GPS unit, and software for your 1940 - that's it.

EDIT: If you subscribe to this site, you can get $40 off a really excellent bundle here. The iGuidance software is exactly the same as Routis, and that GPS unit is very good.
