redzak

Hi

I want to purchase a cheap PDA with a built in gps receiver, so i can use it mainly for sat nav. I intend to purchase Tom Tom navigator seperatly so i guess that shuold (hopefully) be easy to load:rolleyes:

The only one i have seen on ebay is the Mio 168, but there must be others out there?

thanks

Dell Axim X51 will be good. But have you considered using a smart phone? The Sony Ericsson P910i (now SE P990i) is excellent with tomtom mobile 5 which has the same GUI as all the other tomtom products. Just a thought and works out much cheaper if you are on a mobile phone contract. Only a few phones have the integral GPS though as most use a bluetooth GPS receiver. I'm delighted with mine for what its worth.

i have a mio 168 and tomtom 5, for the price ( £250) for the unit with some navigation software and then tomtom 5 it was well worth it.

my friend has tomtom on his nokia phone, it is ok however his phone battery doesnt last very long at all.

the mio is quite old now, im sure you could get a better unit however i use mine most days and have not had a problem.
