Default Who has a GPS System?

I have a PalmOne Zire72, and am thinking of getting a GPS Navigation system for it. I found this on Ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/Palm-PalmOne-Tungsten-...1QQcmdZViewItem

And this for 140:
http://cgi.ebay.com/BLUETOOTH-GPS-Receiver...1QQcmdZViewItem

Does anyone have these? How well do they work?

Also, if you have a Nav system, I'd like to see some pictures of your setup. This is especially if you have a PDA + Nav system, I'd like to see how you guys are mounting your PDA in your car, as those suction hoses look silly. Hopefully I'd like to mount it to the dash, somewhere to the left of the steering wheel next to the A-Pillar.

thanks

I have the delorme setup with streets on a laptop. works well for me. At a few of the meets, I've seen people use pda's setup in the driver's side next to the wheel; but I actually prefer to have a bigger screen so I just have laptop with the passanger

Thanks xvip, I saw that thread but I didn't find much stuff on people mounting to the A-Pillar/left of steering wheel and mounting hardware. I'll keep on searching

I have one of those and they work ok. The new SiRF III chipset receives the gps signal very well however, it all depends on what gps software you have. I tried Destinator 3 and TomTom. so far I like Destinator 3 better.

I do not mount my pocketpc on my car, I just throw the ppc in the cup holder area and pick it up to look once in a while. Most of the time I just listen for the voice prompt to tell me when to turn.
