Palm Pre - GPS Navigation
I've seen similar GPS packages on EBay from one seller, but some state that it will work on the T5 and E2, while right under that is another one that says it wil work for the E2,T5 AND TX and Treo type smart phones.
The 3 Palms you mention all run Garnett OS, see here:

Don't know the GPS hardware package you are considering, perhaps this site may help:

Check out the Palm bundles to see if they are the same or equivalent to the ebay package you are considering.
Good luck.

Does anyone know if the newest version of google maps will work with a palm centro using a bluetooth GPS receiver ?
Yes it will.
I have a Palm tungsten X. Could I install some software and accessory to use it as a GPS navigator?
You can...
Here is a very good tutorial: http://www.gpsinformation.org/dale/Palm/ pilotgps.htm
What do i need to purchase to do this (if it is possible)?
Thanks in advance
The previous list link is very good.
In short you will need a Bluetooth Satellite receiver and Palm OS software for the maps and location calculations.
Semsons is mentioned in the link and is a good resource for general knowledge.
GpsPaSsions is a good website for general knowledge:

There are tests of BT receivers. From my review of material, SIRF III is the chipset that's most accurate.
Good luck
