What are the best GPS systems for a Pocket PC, the best i can think of is Tom Tom Navigator, are there any other that are useful and where is the best place to buy.

Have a look at Expansys

I bought a Pretec compact flash GPS gizmo from there. Came with TomTom City Maps and Autoroute. There's loads of other options though.

I found www.globalpositioningsystems.co.uk very good, ordered my GPS receiver and Tom Tom from there.

Okay, thanks, just wondering if a compact flash card is better or the other type which includes a GPS module/receiver which sits on the dash, which would appear to give better reception, don't particular want to mount the pda on the dash in full view.

How you gonna use it as a SatNav then? Voice instructions are pretty accurate but sometimes a glance at the screen is needed when the voice is not quite so obvious as to where to Turn Right whatever is.

Holders from Brodit.com - car specific.

I'd get a wired GPS not a CF one - 2 reasons, 1) leave it behind when you leave the car 2) you might need the CF slot for memory to store the maps on.

I was hoping to place the PDA above the heating or near the heating controls, perhaps attached to the vents or something.

I use a Brodit mount on the ventilation system of my Audi, with an ipaq, nav sleeve and TomTom 2

These Brodit mounts, how do they fix to the vents, is there a clip of some sort.

gregh

mine clips around (top/bottom) of the vents, you order a specific one dependent on your car
