Handheld-based GPS navigation
Published: 19 Aug 2003
Handheld owners can do a lot of things with their devices, but one of the most interesting and useful is to attach a GPS receiver, load up some route-finding software and some maps, and have it guide you on your journeys.
A number of add-on solutions are now available, for both Palm OS and Pocket PC handhelds, while Garmin has just released the first handheld -- a Palm OS 5 device – with an integrated GPS receiver.
We have reviewed a fair number of these handheld-based GPS solutions, and round them up here for your perusal. If you're a regular business traveller, or you don't want to get lost on your holidays, check out these products.
