Re: [iPAQ] navman sleeve instructions for right now. gpsd too.

That's awesome Russ!

That is enough to make me want to rush out and buy a navman
right now! :))

By the way, You have mentioned now several times your want for
802.11 coverage. If memory serves, you even had a (probably
doctored) image of your ipaq with navman sleeve + cf wireless.

What do you plan on doing with the wireless while on the go?
Just looking for open nets?
