I grabbed a GoPass GPT-801 from Geeks. $60

It's your regular Bluetooth SiRF GPS and the battery time is great. It charges via miniUSB and what was also a bonus is that it uses a replaceable rechargeable battery, the Nokia BL-5 no less. A bonus for me because I had several extra of these batteries. (It comes with AC/DC charger as well and a battery)

Here's some software to use with your WM5 PDA.

map4pda works well, but WLS has become my favorite even though it's betaware.

This is my first SiRF receiver and I was quite surprised by it's ability to pull in a signal in the house. I have an older Garmin unit and it has intermittent reception problems when I'm driving in the forests of California's Sierra Nevada. (stupid trees) ;)
