Re: [OT] TomTom GO

Coming in to this a bit late so appologies if this has already been
said, but have you considered getting an iPaq, bluetooth gps and the
tomtom software. My collegue at work has that combination. Can't see
how there can be regional compatability issues of the maps on an
ipaq, and you end up with a pda to use as well (unless you've
already got one).

Probably a higher overal cost, but could be a good way to
"justify"
getting a new model iPaq :)
