Mind you, I've found my 'wristwatch' GPS works reasonably happily well inside a car so this may not be a problem.

Here is one example complete with software:

Thanks, Deffinatley worth looking into

Ipaq 2210, TomTom & Bluetooth.

However, with POI turned off, this is not an issue, and works great - giving full voice instructions, and 3D views.
Well worth it (especially as I had an Ipaq).

I believe this is only an issue with Bluetooth - wired systems work without this glitch (and given you they are normally connected, as both need power, then it would probably be easier to go for a wired version)

Thanks for that, glad I found out about this before I went and bought mine. Wired it is then
