Was looking at getting myself one of these little gadgets
1) Would I need anything else, apart from the GPS software, to be able to use it as a GPS unit in my car? How does it connect etc??
2) If I was to get one from the states and have a friend send it to me would it be any different to ones here in the UK? Get it cheaper you see
£) Anyone recommends a good one?
Thanks very much!

Here is mine
Mine is a 3760, with CF Jacket, running Tom Tom navigation Software & Trafcam, speed camera Database
The only thing I needed was a GPS receiver, and a cradle dash mount, both from ebay dash mount a tenner (buy it now) and GPS Reciever about 80 quid (buy it now)

Ah didn't look at DELL. Just had quick look now, they are cheaper ain't they!! must be a reason for that? Think I prefer the look of the Compaq plus if I get one from the states it will be around same price as DELL.
Will there be any difference in one from the states to a UK one?

IIRC re Axim vs PDA - the Axim requires swapping out of CF and SD cards if you want things like wireless and bluetooth whereas the latest iPaqs have those built in. I did do a costing a while ago and there wasn't much in it once you'd added the extras.
Anyway I've had a idea - we have some blue tooth dongle things which I wondered if I could attach to my Road Angel so it can talk to a bluetooth PDA without hard wiring ?
Not sure if the RA would be a bit basic to handle this (and something is saying USB in my ear) but I reckon it'd be a winner (first divs on the royalties )

Could anyone explain how to use the Road Angel with a PDA in detail
What have I got to buy, how do I connect it and which software to use.
Pictures would be nice, I am sure that I am not the only one wanting to know this
Anyone ………………………. BuRR ……………………. Anybody please

The Dell's maybe cheaper but they are like a brick when compared to the 2210 and run PPC2002 whereas the IPAQ 2210 runs PPC 2003. The 2210 will be faster and as someone else pointed out has CF and SDIO built in (Dell's are SD not SDIO)

Can't ya just get a travel plug adaptor thingy to use for the charger?
So which one of these would you guys recommend then? (probably go for an Ipaq model)

If you don't need the CF slot or bluetooth & need SDIO get the 1935 $199 in the US with a $50 rebate.
If you don't need CF and need bluetooth & need SDIO get the 1940
if you need CF, SDIO, & bluetooth get the 2210
If you don't need CF and need bluetooth & need SDIO get the 1940
if you need CF, SDIO, & bluetooth get the 2210
