$100 something for the GPS receiver and just load the software on it.
Anybody used this combo before?

I have used this type of setup (Bluethooth receiver/PDA) before. Works OK I guess. You'll need some sort of holder for the PDA and a charging cord for it since the LCD display will eat the battery pretty quick. Leaving backlight off will save power but the screen is not really visible that way.
On our last road trip, I had a 20GB MP3 player hooked up as well so there were a bunch of wires and plugs that need to be put away each time I left the car.
Also, the quality of the navigation software varies from vendor to vendor. Some may not provide updates to the maps...
