Yes is my answer to both your questions

How much are you looking at spending? Would you want a PDA with integrated GPS, or a separate wired/bluetooth GPS receiver?

I have a Medion PDA with inbiult Satnav and its brilliant, especially when you can get them now direct from medion...

I thought they would be a bit iffy havining a built in reciever but at least 10 of my work mates have them and they all were more than happy... So i got one, must say it really works well, allways about 8 sats it picks up.
Works really well now i have TOMTOM 5 on it...

Yep, got TT5 running on my Ipaq (hw6515 - built in GPS)........

Runs sweet as a nut.

The only niggle is that the speed camera database is now a "pa for" item unless anyone can tell me where to get it for fre
