I just got a Garmin 10 with City Select map software, It uses bluetooth to work with my IPAQ... the main benefit of using a Pocket PC based GPS is the Memory stick allows you to have more detailed maps with you. Installing the software took some time and a phone call to Garmin to get it right... but the bluetooth has been problem free and the software easy to use. The software takes up some space on the pocket pc though... about 10mb... but you can move some of the program files to your memory stick after it is installed... then it only takes about 3.5-4. mb. If you already use a PDA then the bluetooth receiver is an economical option. I have used a Magellan meridian for a few years, and found it to be dependable... but the auto routing, and detail of the maps make the Garmin my favorite.
