Globalsat have really made a name for themselves when it comes to GPS hardware (especially with some of their Bluetooth-enabled receivers) and their latest set of product releases show why. First up is their <a href="http://www.globalsat.com.tw/english/products_detail.php?main_id=20&p_id=144">Compact Flash GPS Receiver (BC-337 SiRF Star III)</a>. This is great if you don't have Bluetooth or if you want a more integrated solution. For those of you who don't have CF slots in your PDA, they also announced their <a href="http://www.globalsat.com.tw/english/products_detail.php?main_id=20&p_id=146">SDIO GPS Receiver (SD-502)</a> which comes equipped with 512MB of memory built-in (no need to sacrifice the memory for the GPS). Finally, they have their standalone <a href="http://www.globalsat.com.tw/english/products_detail.php?main_id=20&p_id=158">All-In-One Car Navigator (GV-201)</a>, which sports a 4" QVGA screen, 266MHz ARM920T processor, and 64MB RAM / 64MB ROM.<br /><br />On a more personal note, I've finally given into GPS technology myself, having purchased a standalone <a href="http://www.garmin.com/products/nuvi/">Garmin Nuvi 350</a> which should arrive next week! I'll have to let you all know how that works for me once I've played around with it for a bit.

Too bad the cf card is NOT WM5 compatible. I would have bought it for my 51V

Compatibility is why I use a BT reciever (iTrek M3 SiRF Star III from Semsons). BT is the way to go if GPS isn't built-in to your PPC. it'll work the same with my current WM2003 device or WM5 whenever I can afford to upgrade (if I end up with a WM5 device w/o GPS).
