Out of car SatNav

[huckster6]

I've been following the debate and just wonder if there's a cheapish SatNav that has it's own battery power supply. TomTom looks good, but I wonder if there's a good economical system I can carry in my pocket when I go somewhere foreign. That way I could avoid getting lost when sightseeing in Europe.
Ease of use and accuracy are important. GPS target acquisition time has to be a consideration, too, I think.
Thanks. H.

TomToms are good for that but only give a limited battery life.

average life of a TomTom one, 510, 710 and 910 is 2 hours
whereas averagelife of a Garmin 310, 360, 660 is 6 hours

Your unlikely to get a Garmin for as cheap as you can pick up a TomTom one for however

Doh! I didn't realise till after my post that they actually have batteries. Many thanks for the advice. It was just what I was looking for.
I've seen TomTom One 'Classic,' refurbished, at TotalPDA -- www.totalpda.co.uk/ProductView.aspx?id=6532&mode=0 -- at a seeming bargain price of £128. Is good, or better deals available?

Sounds good, doubt ull get a new one for less than that at the mo.
Think current retail is £149.99, but u may pick one up in a sale for £130-£140 just have to keep ur eyes open
