Palm and GPS navigation

[SyntaX TerroR]

I'm a loyal Palm user and I'm thinking of upgrading my old Palm Vx to a
T2 (or T3 if it's available soon) in the future. Lately I've been
reading about using your PDA for navigation. It seems like most
software only works with PocketPC though, and I'm staying with Palm.

Which software works with Palm PDAs and what are your experiences with
these programs? I think what I want is a program that uses GPS to
display your position and recalculates your route if you miss an exit or
something like that.

Are there also programs that calculate your route based on current
traffic information, perhaps using a GPRS cell phone? I live in
Belgium.

All help or links to useful sites are appreciated!

I use SWI Mapviewer as a route map thingy, it has provision for GPS but I've
not tried it.

I am trying to do this as well. I just bought a GlobalSat Bluetooth GPS
receiver and got it working without much trouble using the CetusGPS
software. Now I need to choose some mapping software. I downloaded a
Digi-map.de free demo for my address but didn't do much with it as it
crashes the palm when I engaged the Bluetooth GPS receiver with it, and I
have to use a work-around. I do wonder whether a Palm can ever talk loudly
enough successfully to give directions in a car.

Ooooh you people, there are loads of GPS application out there for the
Palm platform... just dig around on the web!!!
