It appears to me (and this is a subjective observation) that the iPaq
updates its screen more slowly than a handheld GPS. Of course, this
can be dependent on the particular model of iPaq, too.

....and the software and how many other apps are currently running.

My experience is that the AnywhereMap software will paint the screen very
quickly once a second with the Sentinel GPS. I also try to keep it as the
only software running at the time to help ensure it has all the RAM it needs
(although my iPAQ has far more than necessary).

With all that said, a dedicated GPS unit has only one function so they can
tweak the hell out of it to do that one function very well.
