Re: [OT] PDA GPS Blah Blah Blah

I use tomtom with my ipaq (pretec gps card) it's pretty good :

Pros
POI's are great I have the speed cams all synced up and other points of
interest. ;)
Standard stuff you can see the way the road turns especially useful down
those country lanes - Oh did I mention the speedcams :)
More standard stuff - I like the onscreen ETA figures : especially
impressive for your passengers when you can tell them that you'll be
arriving at location X at the specified time.

Cons
Wish list : Maps can be a bit outa date : It does try to send you down one
way streets :o
Price : (But where there's a will there's a way).
