Best Hardware Software Combo


Recommended Posts

Please help me decide which hardware/ software will workbest for my new Axim X50V. I think that I have decided on the Haicom HI303S and either iGuidance or Mapopolis for the software. The usage will be 75% driving and 25% geocaching. I want to make the right decision but it stinks that I can't try any of the options before I buy. I would also consider any other options or suggestions

 

Thanks

I'm assuming in hardware, you are speaking of a GPS interface to your Dell. Check out GPS Passion. They seem to have lots of information on hardware.

 

If you don't want wires hanging from your PDA, then the choice is a Bluetooth GPS receiver or some sort of SD interfaced GPS. Check out this klunky thing (review). There are others like GPS sleeves, but they are model specific.

 

There are many bluetooth GPS receivers. If you decide on a Bluetooth GPS, make sure it outputs a standard NMEA protocol. This is a standard language that third party software understands.

:rolleyes:
