    Default Treo 700wx used with bluetooth gps

    I figured I better try to pay the debt for everything I learn around here by at least posting something in my rig.
    This is a link to my Treo 700wx using a bluetooth gps with iguidance for street nav and beeline for offroad & geocaching.
    I am soon to upgrade to a laptop with mouse gps and oziexplorer so hopefully you will see another thread soon on that install.
    enjoy

    What mapping program are you using with the Treo? I can't tell from the pics.

    for street nav I am using Iguidance on windows mobile.
    I had tomtom when I ran palm and it was good but Iguidance is better. At least for me since I can enter lat/long and get the closest street for geocaching, switch view easily, enter dest. & info quicker and I think the maps are newer.
    I also use google maps for phone/pda when I have cell service since I can use the sat image & google lookup to find things near me and either get directions or enter the address in Iguid.
    For offroad I am using beeline but it is more for geocaching, no topo (too hard to read on a 2x2 screen anyway) that is why I am going to the laptop for offroad. I will still have the treo for street (although Iguid will run on pda or laptop) and for geocaching/hiking/backpacking.
    I guess I am just a techo geek in the end.
