---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Ron, Roy, I don't use GPS, but I use Mapopolis (platinum edition, I think). It's a great map program. I think it costs 30 bucks, and you can download maps from anywhere in the US. Lots of nice features on it. I've tried Mapquest once or twice, but Mapopolis is far more intuitive. The navigation feature allows you to punch in the names of two contacts from your database, and voila: a map from here to there. Mapopolis also sells GPS programs. Mapopolis.com. Check it out.

I bought a wireless card which fit into the Compact Flash slot, which I couldn't get to work at all, so I took it back. I have a digital camera setup for the Compact Flash slot. It works ok, but is very low resolution. Do you want it? I would be happy to send it for the price of postage. I'm using a storage card in the Secure Digital slot. It works, but it causes the system to freeze up on a regular basis. I have to disengage it to make the thing work. Every addon item I have tried has been a disappointment. On the whole, I really like the Dell Axim, in and of itself. It was a great deal at the time. The battery life is great. However, I would recommend getting some sort of stand alone unit if you want to go the GPS route.

I wonder how many of us are using GPS to get from here to there.... I have a Dell Axim x5 pocket pc and wonder just what I would need to add on to be able to get on-the-road directions in and around the Chicago area. Mapquest has helped a lot, but a guy's gotta have toys, right? Any reviews would be appreciated! (or are stand-alone units the way to go?)
