Cheap GPS system

What a great site ! I found it a couple of weeks ago and with some nervousness, here is my first post :)

I've just bought an ipaq and am now thinking about about a GPS system. Has anyone got any cheap recommendations ?

My ipaq has bluetooth and is wireless. My car has a heated front windscreen if this has any bearing on the setup.

Many thanks in advance

  • Welcome Phil, you will need a special satellite gps receiver, and some software, doesn't come cheap, Argos were unloading some older stuff from their last catalogue, but I think it will have gone by now.
    PCworld had kit in Bank Hol Sale £240 with Palm pda. Full outfit (with pda, which you have)  costs around £350, so I think you will be lucky  to get what you want  cheaper than say £180. There have been threads on here, will try to find them.
