Does anyone have a GPS system for a palm pilot? I have a compaq ipaq and have seen them for sale and they looked good. If anyone has one or knows something about them all input would be appreciated! Thanks Chris |

Why not just buy normal GPS unit? A palm isn't waterproof. -P |

With a Palm or Windows CE, you can buy a waterproof case and use real color maps and underlays. For a vehicle, this is way superior. Especially when you can include raster DOQQ or DRG files. Please tell me which consumer grade GPS can do that? |

should I register my GPS, I have heard this is a bad idea but no explanation. |

I don't know. My GPS is tied to a mil-spec external antenna and a Sony Vaio (14" screen) laptop running Delorme SA2003, SA8, and Topo3. Works well for me. I keep my palm for contacts and my calendar. -P |
