Microsoft Streets & Trips 2007 or Earthmate GPS Receiver with Street Atlas USA 2008

I can't compare the two as I have no experience with Street Atlas, but I do have considerable knowledge on Pocket Streets and I hate it. I don't want to get inot the gory details here (you can email me if you need more info) but I find it to be the most worthless piece of GPS software I have ever seen.

revision3.com Portable GPS device, combines both a satellite communicator and GPS in one device. Figure out where you are, send messages to say ...

You can have a LOT of fun with any handheld GPS, including that one!!

First off, there is no subscription cost. A GPS is like a radio, except instead of listening to radio stations, it's listening to satellites that are broadcasting time & location signals. It uses these signals to figure out where in the world you are standing.

One of my favorite things to do with a GPS is called Geocaching. It's a treasure hunt, that other people set up. They hide a little cache, where normal passersby will not see it, and post the GPS coordinates on a global web site.

You look on the website for caches in your area, punch the coordinates into your GPS, pack a lunch, and head off on a treasure hunt! Usually you do something at the cache, like write your initials and date on a small piece of paper, and then replace it. Many caches have you leave a small toy, and take one with you.

A good place to get started on the hobby (and find caches near you) is:

Wikipedia has a good article on this too:

Another thing I like to do with my GPS is to take it camping or hiking. It will show me where trails are, and will remember my campsite, so I can't get lost.

I've also used one to find locations in strange cities when I'm travelling. Many GPS's let you punch in an address, and will give you street directions.

I have a Toshiba Genio PDA, a Earthmate GPS receiver and Microsoft streets and trips. Can I convert these 3 into a PDA based GPS system. Or any other suggestions for doing so will be helpful.

Thanks.

I used my Dell Axim as my GPS when i need it. Im not sure about your PDA but if it has a CF slot or Bluetooth you can get a GPS module for it, after that you need true navigation software. I use mapopolis and find it to do pretty well. Depending on where you are there are better software with better maps.
