Hi,

I'm thinking of buying a PDA pocket PC for GPS use. But one thing I don't understand is if the PDA has 32mb in ROM and I put in a SD or CF GPS receiver, than how can there be enough memory to add the maps to the PDA?

Thanks in advance.

There can't be enough memory as I understand it. That SD slot will be required for extra memory, so stuffing a receiver into it will deny the PDA the memory required to operate the software.

Someone else might be better informed than me though. I'm a newbie myself.

It depends on which PDA you buy. Some, for instance the outgoing iPAQ 22xx series or the new 47xx series, have both CF and SD slots, so you could use one for a GPS receiver and the other for map storage. But why not choose a BT receiver and keep both of your slots free?
