Compaq Ipaq 3760

[fraggie]

Hi guys, i have been offered one of the above for £50 including all cables etc.

Now i wanted this purely for GPS and for sat nav in my car, but ive been told i need a CF card for the maps to go on and bluetooth for the GPS.

I can find next to no information on what its got already, im not sure if its got any expansions but im pretty sure its not got bluetooth.

What are my options then?

Cheers

Fraggie

ooh, where from, how much and will the ipaq still have room for the maps?

//edit: and just a thought, can i use a bluetooth dongle on it, get a bluetooth gps reciever and use it that way?

althought if i do that i still need the storage from somewhere

If you search on eBay for iPaq 3660 you'll find accessories that are compatible with the 3760 - it's basically the same model but with PocketPC 2002 installed. What you'd also need to get would be either a bluetooth expansion sleeve for it (with built-in CF expansion slot for the additional storage card you'd need - its internal memory isn't enough for a decent amount of maps), or a dual compact flash sleeve, which would allow you to plug in a Compact Flash GPS unit and a Compact Flash expansion card. The sleeves best bought off ebay, since they're rather old items, and you do have to make sure it's listed as for either the 3660/3760 (or 3630 - same system different amount of internal memory), since other iPaq sleeves won't fit
