I need some help with outfitting this Axim. Do I go with Blue tooth or go with a card type? Which is better? Also, is there any software out there that allows you to enter (write text) on the map and save it. I am wanting to make notes or label things as I find them. I have been doing some internet searching and I seem to not be looking for the right thing. Any suggestions or product recommendations will be appreciated. If anyone is using a x50v, what are you using and your suggestions.

Either should work perfectly. As to which is better, that depends on your requirements. Without more info it's impossible to give an opinion. A card type can be more convenient, only one unit, only one charger. But it makes the PDA bigger so it probably won't fit in a case, and might get damaged if you slip the PDA into your pocket. I find that a card drains the PDA battery significantly faster then using the Bluetooth interface, so your battery life will be shorter. A Bluetooth GPS might be better for in car use as you have complete flexibility as to where you position it.

What type of map? I have Memory Map and this allows me to place notes anywhere on the map both on the PC and the PDA.
