The cheapest way I can think of is a Used Palm or PocketPC with a bright colour screen.

Streets and Trips wil do the routing functions, and there is a palm/PocketPC version included so software is good. Then the GPS reciever that comes with the S&T bundle can be adapted (by it from M$ for like $50 or so) to be bluetooth, plug directly into the Palm/PocketPC, or use the usb cable if the spiffy pocket pc you have has a host port.

Then you can mold the little pocketPC into something and make it look good, or get one of those window suction things. FM modulator or aux in to the radio.


That would be the cheapest. And as far as I can see it is the best way for a nontechnical person because it will load instantaneously, and usually those touch friendly apps are easy to use. Also no big software crashes that often, and if it does, just plug it in to a computer and restore.

That's what I would do!
