I just bought a XDA IIi. Its my first pda. got the wifi working and thats it. i dont know what to do with it now!!!

This is a GPS website so i'l start with that. I want sat nav on my pda, what do I look for when buying hardware / software for my XDA2? There are so many gps recievers and I dont know which one to get.

And software. I want to be able to enter postcodes and save locations because of work. Any ideas??

Finally.... I know this isnt a general help site. Does anyone know of any sites that will allow me download freeware or shareware software. I've already tried a couple sites....
http://www.pdastreet.com/
http://www.pocketpccity.com/

I've downloaded some programs but get the error message "this application is not a valid pocket pc app...." what the hell am i doing wrong? can anyone suggest any sites to download, and install to see if it works. Do I install from the pocket pc file explorer or from activesync....

If anyone can suggest any other forums that'l help me, i'l appreciate that.

Thanks

What is your budget and how will you use it mainly?
(car, navigation? walk? geocaching?)

There are some fee GPS software available for download from this site.

This sounds very much like you have tried to copy an application from the internet directly onto the PDA. Most applications have PC installers which work through activesync. Try running the programs on your PC.

For GPS Software browse our GPS Software section where you will find reviews of all sorts of software from Street routing to Topographical.
