You definately should take a look at this
http://www.pdagold.com/articles/detail.asp?a=211

and then this http://www.firstloox.org/

I use this PocketPC with a Socket wireless bluetooth GPS Nav kit. With

its inclusion of a Laptop like Touchpad as opposed to the standard
navigation buttons you find on PocetPC's.
