Looking for suggestions on a portable GPS Nav system. I was wondering
if a portable system could be cobbled together using a plug-in GPS
module on a PDA using Glide Navigator II or any other current software
like SeeYou mobile. I want a system I can use in rental planes.

I have used a small GPS unit to plug directly into the PDA, but the
issue then becomes power. Unless you can power the PDA the PDA
battery is quickly exhausted when it's driving the PDA and a direct
connect GPS. I found it better to use a Bluetooth GPS unit (which
has it's own power), connected to a Bluetooth enabled PDA with a large
capacity battery. Surprisingly (to me) the Bluetooth consumed less
power than the direct attached GPS card and I was able to soar for
many hours.
