I went the PDA route, I bought a Dell Axim PDA with bluetooth, and picked up a bluetooth receiver from buygpsnow.com. Installed Infogation's Odyssey Mobile. Also got a nice window mount with a speaker and charger for the PDA and GPS receiver. My plan is to remotely mount the GPS receiver in my Boxster (in the storage bin behind the seats).

Works good, but with ALL GPS units, some areas/maps are not completely up to date. It also does not read the street names aloud. It DOES recalculate routes VERY quickly.

Total setup probably cost me around $400. I also use the PDA for several other things. Installed a program called Vehicle Manager, and it tracks my fuel costs and efficiency, and maintenance costs as well.
