GPS/PDA. Anyone using this system?
Found this setup from RadioShack. Seems pretty cool for $99. Anyone using it?

I haven't used that, but I have used TravRoute with my iPAQ.

Re: GPS/PDA. Anyone using this system? (ragvette)
yeah i saw that too and was wondering about it. I wonder if it has its own power source or if it runs off the ipaqs, cause my ipaq doesnt last that long, and also, how does it hookup to the ipaq, hopefully not via that serial connector in the picture???

Re: GPS/PDA. Anyone using this system? (ragvette)
I looked at this system. It only works with IPAQ (I have a Casio). I didn't care for their maps (DeLorme) and I felt their software was kind of weak (not many features). Good price though. I decided to buy the Destinator (about $200.00 more). I've had it about a week. They just did a software upgrade and it is awesome. They use Navtech maps (same as the on-star system) and all the US/Canada maps are included with an extensive point of interest database. The system is a blast to use and I consistently get 6-8 satellites with the receiver mounted just behind the seat. If you have a PDA and really want good navigation software check them out. I think it's as good as the Garmin Street Pilot III at 1/4 the price. :cheers:

:cool: Looks too good to be true, it would turn my $500 Address /Memo Book into something I could really use. Do you know if it will work with IPAQ 3765?
RS website says 3600 & 3800 Series. I'm going to RS on Friday and check it out, will let you know what I think.

It may be too late, but I use a system from Pharos with my casion E115. Here is a link to where I bought it. I am very happy with it. I can post some pics of the portable install if you are interested. http://www.gps4fun.com/ph_pocketpak_combos.html The unit works quite well.
