Yeah, I was involved in trying to get this to work over at ppc6700users.com last year (hey sager, I remember you from there) and it just wasn't worth the trouble. We can debate all day long about what the GPS capabilities of the Apache are, but the reality is: (understand that this is a hypothetical situation of course) that even if the capability is there, and if it could be hacked to use with external nav programs, I think you would be sadly disappointed in the performance. It just wouldn't compare to the performance of an external BT unit.

I gave up and got a Holux GPSlim 236 last fall, and it's fantastic. Sounds exactly like the 1000 mentioned above, right down to the size and the charger. It works great for me, and honestly, if you think about it... where would you use this anyway? In your car of course... not in your pocket. How hard is it to clip the Holux unit to your visor and turn it on?
