Hi

I know someone that was after a satnav, but not sure if this is any good? Is there some site that reviews them>? Are they pretty much all the same or does the quality/features vary quite a bit.

Pricewise it seems good i think, but is it a good buy?

I must admit I've never considered buying a SatNav; just not my thing. I never ask for directions either
However, it seemed like a cracking deal so thought it may be useful to some.

I bought one of these for £244 in January. It is a good pocket computer for using Outlook, word etc but the SatNav involves lots of wires & therefore isn't very portable or user friendly. [I sent it back because of that.]

This certainely is very good value for the price though - £244 was the cheapest I found it after a couple hours of searching!

I understood that this version has the GPS aerial built into the bracket that mounts it to the windscreen. Also, the speaker is built into that mount.

Older versions, unless I'm mistaken, had a seperate GPS receiver that had to be plugged into the PDA via a cable.

But you are right that the main unit is actually a PDA and does not have a built in aerial like, say, a Navman, Tom-Tom or Acer.

Still seems a good price though.

Yes mine had the built in speaker & the GPS receiver connects to the mount. I just found it a hassle connecting everything up for my journeys, I travel frequently & didn't want to leave it on display for security purposes.

If you wanted the SatNav for occasional use it is a bargain!

...and these will be straight on eBay no doubt!

Interesting combination of a slow 203mhz Pocket PC and a fast SiRFtrac III gps receiver!!! Very odd.

Just under £300 in most places.

Misco have a Paypal payment option, which means you might be able to get a further discount if you can find a Paypal code which works!!

Decent review here.

It got 7/10 and that was at the full RRP of £323!

If I didn't have my Mio A701 I'd buy one myself.

I think Misco have pulled it, you now can't see the price on the site.
