GPS for the Windows Mobile 5?

billapepper asks: "I recently purchased a Sprint PPC-6700 and was looking to add GPS navigation functionality, however there are quite a few to choose from. I've read about TomTom, Co-Pilot Live, and Garmin Que, but haven't been able to tell which one is worth the $200+ price tag. I was wondering what the Slashdot community felt was the best based on support, functionality, accuracy, map sizes, and ease of use. As a side note, I already purchased Microsoft Pocket Streets 2006 (which came with a GPS receiver), so the ideal option would be a way to hack Pocket Streets to add routing capabilities and, if possible, voice guidance."

    You have no clue how well this thing works. You really out to shut your mouth when you don't know what you are talking about.

    The GPS receiver does not need the sky. It can sit inside my pocket. It can sit inside my car at whatever angle I want it to be at. It has no issues. I currently have it burried in from of the gear box in an area where I can see it well.
