    Goto microsoft.com and download Activesync, once it is install, plug in the XDA and your PC will recognise it.

    You can then sync with Outlook, install applications, browse phone's drives etc.

    Virtually all Pocket PCs can run Satnav software, you just need a bluetooth GPS receiver.

    xda-developers.com should be your first port of call. Not the most polished of sites, but there is some good info in there.

    Probably not as I don't believe that model has bluetooth. If it has an SD slot, you may be able to get a bluetooth card for it and then can use a bluetooth GPS unit. Unlikely, tbh.

    GPS is going to be an issue. The original XDA has SD, but not SDIO. Meaning it can work with SD memory but has no support for peripherials through it. Still a very useful piece of kit mind you, despite its age.

    You can however, get serial units that connect at the bottom of the unit.

    I have a collection of ROM files and other stuff here, so if you feel adventurous let me know.
