Default Anyone use a PDA with a GPS system?

I can get a free ipaq or get paid for a website I built - so I'm thinking a PDA + a bluetooth nav system would be nice for roadtrips. Anyone have this setup? Is it worth the $$?

Default i've got the Garmin iQue 3600 (integrated Palm OS 5 + GPS receiver)

it works out nicely. a few others on here have the iPaq w/the add on GSP solutions from Navman, etc. do a search for iPaq in this forum and you will probably get a couple of hits

i use the iQue a lot & it has come in especially handy for house hunting.

How is the reception in the Bay Area, and how do you like the interface?

Default good. i have an external antenna that helps w/securing a faster/better lock

on the satellites but i've used the unit w/just in the built-in antenna in the car and it works fine (antenna needs line of sight w/the sky).

the interface is pretty intuitive...it has verbal prompts and auto-rerouting when you go off their recommended course.<ul><li><a href="http://www.garmin.com/products/iQue3600/">http://www.garmin.com/products/iQue3600/</a</li></ul>
