GPS system

[tritan]

After getting lost this weekend and my wife and I screaming at each other over who's fault it was (hers) I have decided I need a GPS system for my pda. I currently have the TX and wonder what is the best system out there for Palm? bluetooth or wired? I also own a 2000 Chevy venture that has a reflective coating that will not allow my handheld extrex gps to work on the front dash. What ever solution I have needs to have a longer cord to run to the side windows or rear windows or use bluetooth. I would be willing to switch pdas to a PPC if opinions think the ppc would be better for GPS systems. I have heard of a few systems , namely TOM TOM, co pilot, garmin systems. What do you guys think?

I use the TomTom software with Palm's bluetooth GPS receiver and it works great. I highly recommend it.

Hi, some cars with reflective coated windscreens have a small area I think maybe bottom right or bottom middle that let the signals through, might be worth looking into. Make sure you get a good bluetooth unit if you go that way the worst thing is loosing the signal. There are plenty of GPS threads on the pros and cons of bluetooth etc.

just bought a garmin nuvi 300. Thought about a PDA solution but, frankly, you have to get a GPS receiver anyway, plus the potential incompatibility issues etc with the pda..the garmin is about 2/3 the size of my LifeDrive (ie not much bigger than a decent gps receiver unit anyway) and cost less than the BT TomTom lifedrive package...just a thought!
