...the HP GPS Navigation Kit you can even turn your iPAQ 914 into a Smart Travel Companion with Turn-by-Turn Navigation (no need to buy a TomTom then).

Advantages: All software on one CompactFlash card
Disadvantages: Very poor GPS lock. Maps now out of date. Connections fail.

...OK ... so I'm a little late with this review. I've just upgraded FROM one of these devices, to a Bluetooth GPS system with separate GPS software. Anyway, it's rather unlikely that you will be buying one of these new now. And if you ARE considering it, either new or second hand, then please read the following experiences of this system first!
