I am also not aware of any GIS software for PDAs though it would
be quite to helpful since some PDAs have GPS incorporated.
I had a loose discussion on this last December with some PDA Linux
Kernel hackers and developed some ideas, but we found no one who
was interested enough to finance that.

I am also not aware of any Free GIS Software been tested on a PDA.
So please if anyone has experiences or just will have fun to test
it ... please report here :-)
