I use a Magellan GPS companion. its a springboard module for a visor. works well. no advanced features(route plotting and shit). totally computer independant, the only think you need a computer for is to upload the maps(which are in raw .prc/.pdb format) which can be uploaded using any ol palm synch software. it comes with mapping and navigation software, and maps for pretty much everywhere I think. I also use a 3rd party app Mapopolis which can communicate with the GPS module as well(gotta love standards). it's very small and since it doesn't depend on the PC for anything other then the maps your not missing out on anything. its cheap too. I use it on both my visor deluxe and my visor prism. visors are cheap too if you don't have one(my former manager picked one up on ebay for something like $20?). Or refurb is about $90 I think. GPS module is around $110(new). though it may be discontinued now. ever since handspring announced they would stop making PDAs springboard developers have been jumping ship sadly. nate (i have about 10 springboard modules including barcode reader, modem, wireless modem, remote control, backup modules etc ..) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
