For a pocket pc take a look at the Dell X51(www.dell.com) or the the HP
IPAQ hx2495(ww.hp.com),
processor speed and memory is no problem with either unit. You will
probably need a 4 gig SD(150X) card
Transcend or Sandisk. A bluetooth gps receiver and make sure it has
SIRF III or compatable chipset.
For information on these gps receivers go to www.gpspassion.com.
For Street Level Mapping software take look at IGuidance. For GPS
mapping software take a look at OziCE
and OziExplorer at www.oziexplorer.com. (Windows)
A good program to help setup a blutooth gps receiver is Franson GPS
