I think it can be use. But you must see purpose you are buying GPS, road navigation, GPS photo-tagging or for recreational use (if you are runner or cyclist). For road navigation, other than application itself the map is the most important thing.

Hope this help you to make better decision. hmm.gif

I have an old Ipaq 3870 that I have managed to connect to my iBlue 747 GPS receiver via bluetooth.

What navigation software/maps do I need to get for Windows Mobile 2003 and are there free versions? Thanks.

But if you wanna go old skool way... Try Garmin Que + GPS Proxy. You can checkout ay MSM Wiki section for more details about it.

It don't have 3D view and can't use NT version map but you can still use cGPSMapper compile map.

Other than device, look also for ease and frequency of map update given by the manufacturer... Is it free or you need to pay for update...

1) GPS only free, A-GPS need to pay on usage basis
2) If you are planning to use Mobile XT software my recommendation buy Garmin Mobile 10x very simple to use with the software.
3) I suggest you to visit either Malsingmaps.com or Malfreemaps.com for more exposure on GPS.

1. You can read more about A-GPS here...
2. Mobile 10x was BT GPS receiver. You can connect it to Windows Mobile, Symbian and Palm phone and you can use Mobile XT for free. Navigation software and map will be install on the phone.
