    Best GPS choice for HP Ipaq 210 enterprise handheld

    I need GPS capability for the Ipaq Enterprise 210 handheld.

    I would like the simplest, and most compact solution.

    From this page:

     http://www.buygpsnow.com/compactflash-sd-gps_10.aspx

    Which one would be the best choice?

    Thanks.

    May I know the name of the GPS Application you will be using on your iPAQ?

    I don't know actually :(

    I haven't ordered any software yet.

    I am ordering the IPAQ 210 handheld for a friend - who needs the GPS for Europe and Israel.

    I didn't know that GPS hardware needs to be specific to the software?

    Would there be a best combination of hardware/software for Europe and Israel? 

    Thanks.

    Hi. For European maps, your only option is the OCN6 for Western Europe. If you could hold off, we strongly recommend you wait for 7 to 10 days for the OCN 8 (with more recently maps and newer functions in version 8)

    For maps of Israel, please purchase it from your local GPS store: www.gpsnow.co.il or here: http://www.navngo.co.il/i-go/HP.asp 

    In general, we do not recommend CF GPS receiver for PDA running WM5 or WM6. Please consider a Bluetooth GPS receiver instead. Any of our top sellers here will work for your friend:

    Hope this helps.

    Thanks very much!

    I assume then that the CF GPS receiver doesn't work as well as the Bluetooth GPS?  Is this correct?

    Is the difference very significant?

    (the advantage of a CF GPS is not having to carry an extra gadget along).

    Re: Best GPS choice for HP Ipaq 210 enterprise handheld

    CF GPS does not work well on WM5 / WM6 due to the GPS Management built-in to the Operation system.

    The WM5/6 GPS Management "may" block access to the CF GPS COM Port from a GPS program install on the PDA.

    Hence, your best bet is to go with a Bluetooth GPS receiver instead.

    The key chain Bluetooth GPS receiver would seem to be the most convenient:

    Do you think it would be as good as the others listed:
