sorry jonboy, have to agree with Doug on this one.
By the way Doug thanks for your advice regarding my GPS purchase.
I assesed my needs and ended up buying a runout navman pin 570 for $290. Its running oziexplorerCE and Shonky maps for out of town and the pre-loaded Navman software in town. Works
well. Looked at the garmins, but it got down to price in the end.
Cheers Stefan

we bought a couple of cheapy ebay bluetooth gps for work and threw them out. crappy signal accuracy and strength and dud batterys
I ended up buying a Garmin gps10, works great.
doesnt have an external antenna socket though but seems to not really need it.
we also use garmin nuvi pda's ( i think thats what they are called ).
very very good build, with a built in gps ( flip up antemnna on the back like the pin's). only bad thing is only windows mobile 2003 on them. thinkthey have just been superceded so may be cheaper now ( we paid $900 each )
cheers,
dale
