GPS Answers
I have a palm tx, and i would really love to add the navigation software to it, but it seems like they don't make any for it! All of the GPS kits i read say that they work with the Treo.. but they say nothing about the TX... anyone know of a good GPS system compatible with my TX??
And what is the difference between getting the DVD software or the memory card? Which is better?
Hmmm.. I was going to just answer yes, but after some checking it seems that the software I was going to suggest (TomTom 6) has some issues running on the TX. I know that version 5 ran fine, so if you could track that down it should work fine.

I posted this so I could link to it in an Amazon listing. I already sold it but I#39;ll leave it on here in case it can help someone. Product ...
Any kind that works well. But specifically, I'm looking for the kind that lets you trace your own route (in case you get lost, you can retrace your route), because this kind does not necessarily need to have a map. Thanks!

Palm.com has then so does treo central as well as most large electronic stores. It is not only software though it comes as a SD card so you need a free slot on your Tx.
The Palm Treo 700wx does not have a built in GPS antenna so you would have to purchase an SD card expansion antenna that might work on the system.
The problem with going this route is that these SD expansion devices use up a lot of system power and they also take up your data storage location.
For the price of a GPS device these days I would suggest going out and buying a cheap handheld Garmin to see if you'd use it.

Palm Pre privacy
I've been taking a closer look at the WebOS side of my Palm Pre tonight, and I noticed that it periodically uploads information to Palm, Inc.
The first thing sent is intended to be my GPS location. It's the same location I get if I open the map app on the Pre. Not very accurate in this case, but I've seen it be accurate enough to find my house before.
There is also some info that is recorded when a WebOS app crashes. Now, I've seen WebOS crash hard a time or two, but it turns out apps are crashing fairly frequently behind the scenes, and each such crash is logged and a system state snapshot taken. At least some of these are uploaded, though if things are crashing a whole lot it will be throttled.
