Help need for XDA II and GPS

I will soon have my hands a nice new XDA II and I want to use it with a GPS system because I do quite a bit of travelling, UK, Europe, USA and the Middle East, my 1st question is

Should I go with blueTooth, Bearing mind the problems that have been reported with Bluetooth and XDA II??? Confused

What is the best system to buy to use with the XDA II, Bluetooth, car powered mouse or CP type???? Confused

The only limitations are the following
what ever system I use, must be able to be powered from the cigerette lighter as some of my car trips could be up to eight hours, this includes the XDA so twin leads are a must so that I'm able to trickle charge both at the same time. :D

Lastly, I've seen maps available for UK, Europe, USA but not the Middle East, am I missing something, like the GPS systems available here in UK don't work in the Middle East or are no maps are available

Any comments much appreciated by a newbe to GPS

Best Regards Thumbs Up

- go with BlueTooth, the issues are now fixed
- get yourself a Y-cable...
- the GPS will work in the Middle East (heck, it will work anywhere in the world) but there are no street maps available yet for that area. You'll have to use topo maps instead.
