I would recommend that you do not get a cradle that includes the GPS unit and that you should use a bluetooth GPS unit. Whilst at the moment you may only wish to use your PDA in a cradle in the car, in the future you may well want to use the PDA and GPS in other situations, also if you change PDAs, you will need a new cradle which with an integrated GPS, would mean a new GPS unit as well.

I have a 5500 and I use the Seidio G2500 active mount and various BT GPS units. The earlier Seidio units were of terrible build quality and Seidio's customer service (it is overseas) is useless. Fortunately I bought from a decent supplier (globalpositioningsystems) who exchanged the units for the later build (which is excellent) under warranty. The unit has a 5V output to charge the BT GPS unit and is also capable of connecting to a hardwired GPS unit.

Thanks for invaluable information. I have now looked into cradle(s) and will go down the route you suggested and purchase.
