Anyone out there try to hook there pda into any of there video sources? My pda has a wireless card built in with bluetooth. I know the navigation and computer options of of it would be cool. Any ideas? Thanks again!

My nav setup just arrived, a Mitac Mio 168 PDA GPS. Came with car kit (gooseneck suction mount & cig. lighter adaptor)

Preliminary testing: works really sweet !! Wife-o's car has the Lexus nav. system (the gold standard) you could buy three of these gizmo's for what her system cost. Nav software included, GPS built-in. USA is 7 maps - roughly 1/2 dozen states per map, maps are under 256MB ea.

It does turn-by-turn, visual and voice prompts, address, POI, all in living color. Ordered an extra memory card approx. $50 so I can load up extra maps.

Now if I can get it to find the car keys.....

Which PDA?

I use a Palm Tungsten T3 and will be picking up a Tom Tom bluetooth GPS for in xB/on motorcycle navigation.

Well, it's not a true Carputer with GPS in the dash.

Here's mine iPaq on Travroute Jacket GPS. I had to use rubberbands to hold it to the Arkon Powered PDA mount for the iPaq because the jacket is a bit thick.

Cool, looks like it's pointing you the right direction so that's pretty much all that counts !!!!

I'm kinda partial to rubber banding things, anybody can go buy some bells & whistle extraganza but it's the rubber band folks that tend to get the ball rolling !!!
