If I want to use Magellan's Street level mapping on an IPAQ, (PDA STREETS
MAPPER NSW) do I need to buy the Magellan GPSClipon  - The Magellan Aust
website certainly doesn't provide any answers.

Hi Ray,

Perhaps it is the Magellan GPSClipon?  I just spotted this one at Harris
Technology's site for $611.  A bit more than your $49 unit! Yes, it looks
it
has only the output through the card to the PDA. It looks nice as it comes
with detailed maps of VK.

Thanks & Cheers
