I use an iPAQ mounted on my dash with an external GPS unit. I currently use
an older serially connected GPS mouse type receiver I bought at Radio Shack
years ago, but I have used a PCcard type as well. I have been using
iGuidance software from iNav (http://www.inavcorp.com/). This software
allows direct input of Lat/Long as well as many other ways to identify your
destination. I specifically selected this software to make it easy to do
retrieves, if the pilot can supply his location. It has worked well, other
than the time my wife would not believe the road it was directing her to
take. It was little more than a cart path. It was the right road.

It is not trip planning software, but specifically gives you a path from
where ever you are to where you want to be.

I also load the iGuidance software on the iPAQ in my glider so that I can
use it after landing, to help people find me.

Can anybody recommend a reasonably priced in-car GPS
- one that you can enter the GPS coordinates as a POI,
and the unit will be able to give directions to there?
