Can you guys check the accuracy of your EMTAC/Haicom/Belkin BT GPS module and share with us here? Thanks!
One note... Treo650 + Bluetooth GPS = 2 Gadgets + 2 Power Adapters
(Some Bluetooth GPS adapters may also power the PDA)

Not really an improvement.

If you sync to outlook then you can sync multiple devices to the same database. Withthe ique plus treo, first install it's version of the palm desktop for the Treo, the install the ique version over it. Then install the pocket mirror or your choice of outlook hotsync conduits. Make sure that each device has a different hot sync name. If using pocket mirror, make sure that the pocket mirror folder has an entry for each device's hot sync name. Now, when you hot sync, outlook will keep each device properly sync'd for address, contact, notes/memos, and todo list. You will then use palm desktop to control the ique.

The bluetooth GPS solution consolidates into one device, but the screen size and the map size will be smaller on the Treo.
