I'm using Tomtom2 with an Ipaq and its simply superb, I'd have no hesitation in recommending the system to anyone.

Tomtom 'Go' is available shortly which is a completely self-contained unit.If you don't need a PDA, you might want to consider one of these which at around

The only downside to me seems to be that because they don't have gyros like inbuilt sat-nav, they get a bit lost when they lose signal (which happens when you go into dense tree cover). There are a couple of places on my commute that this happens. The camera database (I use the pocketpc world one) is pretty good, although there are more cameras on the database than seem to actuall exist (many appear to be popular police hideaways).

It's a 5500 series with wireless and Bluetooth.

I started off with a wireless set-up btw, using a Bluetooth GPS receiver. It's very neat, but I got fed up of charging batteries all the while. I now use a 'RoyalTek' wired receiver.

I now just plug in and go with no power worries.

I'd personally give Bluetooth GPS a miss - unless you want to go back-packing in Papua New Guinea of course.
