2). GPS receiver

To ease the things we devide GPS receivers into three classes:
a).Integrated in PDA or a phone You can purchase separately two devices 1)handheld-PC (PDA, phone) and 2)gps-receiver or take a device with integrated gps module,
here's the example of such devices: Motorolla(phones) a925/a1000, Qtek X100, Asus 436. So if you get those devices, don't read this section and go to the Flash memory card. b).Bluetooth gps modules -
c).flash-card gps receivers -

3). Flash memory card

Usually a flash memory card is shipped in a package with your mobile device (PDA, phone), but it has a small size in Megabites, that's why recommended to get and install a larger size memory card. It helps you to store more maps on one flash card.
