we use mostly LX GPS Mouse....this works great and requires very little
space, has voltage converter built in to power the PDA at 5V and GPS engine
at 12V.....The iPaq 3630 is a bit dated, but should work fine and continue
to work beyond your expectations for a long long time.very little reason to
worry about updating this unit either.the 3630 has plenty of memory for
FlywithCE or most other PDA programs, has a "good" color display and good
operating system.
I'd highly recommend you keep the PDA you have, use the FlywithCE Navigator
system and simply add the LX mouse.you'll be happy

I'm looking for a GPS solution on tight budget for my iPAQ 3630.

What i need is
- a cheap GPS,
- an external power source that won't drain the onboard battery.
I got the freeware - flyWithCE (even though i never had the chance to try
it).

What i want is a ligthweigt and compact kit that's easy to carry and
install in different (mostly rented) gliders.

I think my iPAQ is a bit outdated and won't last forever, so i prefer to
invest in a GPS that will fit with a newer model once i get so far.

Hints, ideas and recommandations are very appreciated - offers will be
considered.

Will 250$ / 200? get me going?

regards,
Niels
