GPS, anyone?

Ron, Roy,
 
I don't use GPS, but I use Mapopolis (platinum edition, I think).   It's a 
great map program.  I think it costs 30 bucks, and you can download  maps from 
anywhere in the US.  Lots of nice features on it.  I've  tried Mapquest once or 
twice, but Mapopolis is far more intuitive.
 
The navigation feature allows you to punch in the names of two contacts  from 
your database, and voila:  a map from here to there.  
 
Mapopolis also sells GPS programs.  Mapopolis.com.  Check it  out.

Ron;
I have the same Pocket PC.  Have you tried any other  add-on items? I bought
a wireless card which fit into the Compact Flash  slot, which I couldn't get
to work at all, so I took it back.  I have  a digital camera setup for the
Compact Flash slot.  It works ok, but  is very low resolution.  Do you want
it?  I would be happy to  send it for the price of postage.  I'm using a
storage card in the  Secure Digital slot.  It works, but it causes the system
to freeze up  on a regular basis.  I have to disengage it to make the  thing
work.  Every addon item I have tried has been a  disappointment.  On the
whole, I really like the Dell Axim, in and of  itself.  It was a great deal
at the time.  The battery life is  great.  However, I would recommend getting
some sort of stand alone  unit if you want to go the GPS route.

I wonder how many of us are using GPS to get from here to  there....

I have a Dell Axim x5 pocket pc and wonder just what I would  need to add on
to be able to get on-the-road directions in and around the  Chicago area.
Mapquest has helped a lot, but a guy's gotta have toys,  right?  Any reviews
would be appreciated!  (or are stand-alone  units the way to go?)
