Here is my simple and
cheap in car GPS navigation system. |

First the limitation, it
only shows where I am, not how to get anywhere. It has turned out to be
fairly accurate, always a bonus. |

I’m sure that any Pocket PC PDA can be used
with the GPS unit I choose, however as I had a PDA for work already I used
that. It also has the added bonus of having one of the fastest processors
found in a PDA. |

I choose the Oziexplorer software because
it has both desktop and PDA components. I used the desktop component to create
the maps. You don’t need this unless you want to create your own maps. |

The Holux GM270 Ultra I choose uses the new
SiRFXTrac for greater sensitivity. I’ve seen it working while
sitting on the back seat (without an external antenna plugged in). See http://www.pocketgps.co.uk/holuxgm270ultra.php
for details on the receiver. |
