I've got a gps back to my Ipaq PDA. It is without doubt the most frustrating piece of technology that I have come across. When it works it's great but it only works half the time - usually the half when you actually need it. The problem is that where it sits on the dash it doesn't get a clear enough view of the sky without the roof getting in the way. The result is that it gets 'lost'. A lot.

If I was going to get another one it would have to have a separate gps reciever that you can place in a better position. There are units that connect to the pda with BlueTooth so it doesn't even need wires.

When it works it is very liberating - in the car it's great not having to struggle with maps and having it count down the distance to the next instruction. Getting something to work on the bike would be fantastic. Not having to 'cram' a route and guess on the road means a better riding experience furshure.
