Hi forumites,
I just got given a Casio E-100 PDA, I know it a few years old but it was free! it is my first pda and hoping to run some sort of mapping/navigation with it. Obviously I will need to get some form of GPS reciever but with the pda only having 1 card slot will this work as I am going through the archive at present and finding that with only the 1 card slot how will I have maps aswell?
Any advise would be greatly appreciated.
cheers Dave

I don't think you could run moving map software with a 131Mhz CPU anyway.
I believe that you really need a minimum of 300MHz.

Dave, sounds like it is about five years old. It has a CF (Compact Flash card slot) so could take a GPS CF receiver but as is said above the power of the processor plus the low level of ram your mapping would be restricted, very restricted. Some of the CF GPS cards also took an SD card in them for your storage. Just make sure you don't over-capitalise if you are going to play with it.

Thanks for the advise guys, My purpse is to do it on a very small budget at first to see if I like it then get a more powerful unit when satisfied and justified.
