Hi,
I am looking at budget options for PDA based off-road SatNav / GPS solution for countryside light hiking & city walking.
I have a Xda pocketpc. And can nick 'memory map' maps from a friend. If I buy a cheapish (~£40) bluetooth GPS receiver from eBay, will the whole solution work - or will I be missing any component ?
(I hope that GPS receiver will come with a sw to talk to the PocketPC).
Thanks in advance.

Unlikely. GPS devices all rely on Bluetooth connections with the PDA, phone etc.0
