Hmmmm.... just re-visiting previous emails on this thread and I almost
think
I *need* one of these little babies to help fill up that trailer ;)

So I'm guessing I would want the 400MHz processor @ +?50

CF cards can be had more cheaply from eBuyer for example (around ?60+VAT
for
512MB)

I'm guessing that this is plenty enough to hold a UK map with a good level
of detail and some POI layers.

Or would I require a SD card for map storage (as their site seems to
intimate)?

Just trying to help fill a trailer ;)
