Bluetooth GPS or wired.......
Looking for a GPS device for my Sony CLie PDA (TG50)....
Using VIA Michelin software (under Palm 5)
Can anybody recommend a compatible (cheap!) device to marry this lot together please?
Cheers,
Dan

out of interest Hank, why do you hate it? Is it just the battery issue?
Puff, can you give me some model numbers? Likewise Hank?

So I now have a BT reciever with a 4" charge cable, into a USB extension, into the Arkon mount and it's a frikkin mess.
The BT drops out and needs the PDA to be reset to get back on, a real PITA at motorway services etc where I wouldn't leave the PDA in the car.
