GlobalSat BC337 SiRFStarIII Compact Flash GPS Receiver

seems to be the cheapest one I can find the other cheap ones you have to plug an antennae into this seems to be a stabd alone unit.

never tried that one - but some advice.

Check that it works with the the OS on your iPaq. I had the HAICOM SiRF III CF card which worked great on my "PC2002" iPaq but when I moved to AXIM with WM5 - it wouldn't go at all. There is another user on these forums who is having trouble with yet another manufacturers CF GPS SiRF III card and WM5.

If your device has bluetooth then I would suggest looking at a BT GPS as an alternative.

it is an hp ipaq 214 running windows mobile 6 classic

the reason for not wanting a separate bluetooth gps is then would have to have another power cable

where with this it would all fit in one and only one power cable

cheers

You should be able to get a full days driving before recharging a BT receiver. 12 hours continual use is not uncommon. Some quote upto 40 hours.

Got a Globalsat bc337 myself. I use it with an Axim X5 and it is fantastic compared to other CF gps cards I have tried
