New PDA Recomendations for GPS

[nick heppinstall]

My trusty Ipaq 3850 has finally given up the ghost and I'm in the market for a new GPS. It has to be a PocketPC device because the Missus uses it for games when were away !!

Just starting my research now but if anyone can give me a starter then all the better.

Just had an XDA Orbit delivered complete with Co Pilot Live.
Looks good so far.

I know it's technically a phone, but it's running Windows Mobile and has solitaire on it

The other bonus was that it was free

I have an old Acer that's up for grabe if you want. I assume you have a GPS unit?

I have run TomTom on it, but now run TomTom on my phone, so the PDA hasn't moved from the drawer for a while.

Email via profile if you want more details. (mods feel free to delete if you feel this is too blatant a plug!)

Orange M700 will see you good (has built in GPS) - don't use the inbuilt software, but get TT6 instead

Thanks Chris. It's actually my GPS unit that has dies by the looks. I've resurected the Ipaq and I'm going to pickup a TomTom 510 in the morning.

So Far I've had the following:-

ipaq 3650 with GPS jacket an TT3
ipaq 3850 with GPS jacket and TT3 + TT5
XDA IIi with BT GPS and TT5 and TT6
XDA Orbit with in built GPS and TT6

XDA IIi with TT6 is the best (processor speed)
XDA Orbit with TT6 is the best for convenience but a little slower than the XDA IIi

To be honest the orbit is more than capable for navigation (using full TT6 Europe map on a 2Gb micro SD card with USA map as well). It is dammed convenient just having to keep a separate holder and micro USB charger in my different cars and then plug the phone in - away I go.

I have Navigon on a FS Loox N560. It's ok, but not wihtout it's little niggles.
