I have found that built in GPS on most multi-purpose, portable devices that I have tried in the past 2 years leaves a lot to be desired...

Because of the recent lower price of BT GPS recievers that are at least SiRFstar III or MTK MT3318 chipsets, I have one installed in each of my vehicles. I now wish this was a new car option.

In fact it wasn't until I got the Navicore kit with an LD-3 did I even consider using my old iPAQ 4150 as a navigator. My experience previously with GPS devices had been so bad that the iPAQ sat for 2 years with no use. (Talk about spending $400 on something that was useless as a portable internet tool. ..and I did that 2 years ago AND, it was an HP device running Micro$oft WinMo. )
