I've been running a Pharos CF card GPS on my Axim. Bought it direct from Dell at only 65% of the Pharos list price. I went with the Pharos as I used to use one with my iPAQ 3635 and never had any problems. I also used to use a Navman GPS sleave with the iPAQ. That did have some problems.

The built in Axim speaker is not adequate for use with the GPS voice prompts. So I bought a multi-media mount with built in speaker and amplifier. The whole system works well.

I did have to modify the plug end of the cord that plugs into the the speaker out on the Axim, as the supplied plug had an interference fit with the GPS module.

As a side note, my Axim died due to a failure of the touch screen. I called Dell yesterday afternoon for a replacement Axim. Airborne delivered the replacement a short while ago. Yes, getting though on the phone and being able to talk to a "live" person was a challenge. But they did make quick work of taking care of my concerns.
