a lot of the Pocket PC PDA's out there support GPS as long as you get the software for it. some of them even come with the software you just need the receiver...look it up online. i know BestBuy has a few of them you can check out.

The Palm Treo 650 is an awesome phone. It uses palm software that I find very user friendly.

It has a GPS bluetooth accesory available from Palm for $200. I'm not sure how well that works though. There's a separate bluetooth antenna included that you have to magnetically add to the outside of the car.

As far as getting a separate, dedicated GPS unit. That's the way I'm going. I just ordered a Garmin Nuvi from Costco.com.
