I finally got my holux sirf III usb gps receiver for my laptop, It works great. I've had so much fun driving around just watching the laptop screen. lol. Atfirst I had it mounted with a suction cup at the front right of the windshield. I was cleaning my car today, and taking it all apart and I took off the right piece of plastic by the dash where the door closes. The receiver has a magnetic base so I just stuck it on the huge piece of metal in there, then ran the cable to my glove box. Much better than having a cable going from my dash to my passenger seat.

Rather than spending 500 to 700 dollars on a small screen handheld
like a tom tom or magellean, I think I may go with this product.
http://www.gpscheap.com/pm-673-4-pha...-software.aspx
I wonder if it will work as good?
Has anybody here used a GPS system with a PDA before?
Has anybody here used this brand of software before?
Does anybody here know if this hardware combo will work with
the MS Streets and trips package?
I have a Toshiba e755 and this product seems like a very good solution.
Sure seems it would be better than having Sandy use the Brick top.
(That will only be used a few times, if ya get my drift...???)

Dell & Garmin both have a PDA with a GPS. The Dell Axim uses a bluetooth GPS receiver and the Garmin iQue is integrated. I have a Dell but chose not to go that route because I am a firm believer that eletronic gadgets should be more complicated than it already is... besides, I rather have something that is great one thing versus okay on both things.

I'm currently in the market for a "good" aftermarket GPS system for my HHR. (removable - not built-in-dash)
Mainly it is for me/my travels but it's also going to be used in my Fiancée's car. (since she's new to Cleveland area)
I've done quite a bit of research into the different GPS models & think I've found one (Garmin 2720) but I wanted to catch some other people's viewpoints/opinions/recommendations.
(before I shell out $$$)
Thanks, JD

Crazybob has a nice one but Novadiecast has a real nice one also, You will have to contace him, It's nice and it's a good size too. He paid $400.00 I think.

Price $399.99 at Wolf's Camera...
Just downloaded about 30,000 POI's (Points of Interests) and a small
file with Gallatin's redlight camera's into the unit.
The unit picks a point to point route, and it recalculates at every wrong turn,
which can be a good thing if your lost, but kinda bothersome if you want to
go another way.
All in all, very slick, easy to use, the screen is easy to read,
and overall is a very good value for the bucks spent.
Personally, I would have liked to see actual Lat/Lon readouts, as well as
picking my own route. But for this price point, it is still very NICE!!!!
Fell free to ask me about any other detail or if you have any other
questions about it...
