Can anyone point me in the right direction please?

I have a Clie UX50 and was wondering what my options are to use it as part
of a navigation system for my car? Can I get any funky 3D map system to work
with it? What extra bits of kit do I need? Will it all plug into my stereo
so I can get sound through my car's speakers? Will it make tea for me on a
long journey?!!

Any advice most welcome

Cheers,

Duncan

You'll have to buy a GPS unit for your Sony first off, and depending on
what kind you get, software for it also. Dale DePriest has a fine site
for PDA-GPS configurations:

For the funky 3d stuff.

Nice basic GPS to use with something more common like Mapopolis.

As for audio, buy an FM tranciever or tape adapter to have it play through
your stereo.

Buy a good mount, too.
