There are three or four out there, even from Palm. The detraction - the screen is a bit on the small side. A larger screen model makes it safer and easier.

I agree..

I bought a GPS receiver/software kit for my Tungsten C several years ago, and still use it in a pinch. But if you are planning to really use your GPS, I'd recommend getting a unit that will do it better.

Since then I purchased a car with the GPS factory option and I like it much better. I still pack my tungsten when I travel (not often). If I really needed a portable GPS system, I'd get one of the Garmin portables.

Depending on your budget, some of the Garmin's are really cool. They have an FM transmitter that does the turn-by-turn through your FM radio. They also have bluetooth and a microphone, so they can be used as a hands-free kit for your bluetooth phone.
