Co-worker has a 650 with an external Bluetooth GPS adapter running TomTom software. Works like a charm.

Not to sure on the details about the synching. Its a Bluetooth adapter so as long as its within range of the Palm it works. He usually places the adapter on his dash.

I think he downloaded the TomTom software but I think you can buy it as well. Although it can be expensive.

Quick google search...
