I'm in the market for a new GPS unit to apply to my war driving tool kit. I was wondering if anyone has used the iPac with the GPS attachment? What GPS unit do you use? I need long battery life and graphical representation of locations, so, lost of memory for maps. Any suggestions?

I use a Garmin eTrex. Battery life is approx 12-15 hours. You have the option of buying the data cable with the lighter attachment too...in which case battery is not an issue.
You have to use the iPAQ serial cable to null modem to GPS data cable config.perl -e 'print pack(c5, (41*2), sqrt(7056), (unpack(c,H)-2), oct(115), 10)'
