I have a Dell Axim X30 PocketPC (624MHz with integrated Wifi and Bluetooth) and the Navteq (same company that does Yahoo maps) navigation system. I do feel less focused when using it, but if I had no idea where I was, I would be even more nervous and even less focused. Learning to drive with GPS is not easy, but once you get the hand of it, and learn to trust it enough (but not too much), then you are good to go.

I really like the Dell Axim and Navteq system. It works very well. If I miss a turn, it will usually auto correct within one block. Only major complaint is the volume. You can't hear it at all over ther road noise. You'll need one of those short range FM transmitters (or cassette adapters) to plug into the headphone jack. Minor complaints are that sometimes it will take a minute or two to "lock on" to the satellites and every now and then it'll lose the Bluetooth connection with the GPS receiver.

I would definitely recommend taking a look at this setup. Plus, you can use the Axim to go online, make spreadsheets, take notes, keep your appointments and calendar, and all sorts of neat stuff. I don't think they still sell the same setup I have but a similar setup will run you around $600 I think.
