PDA with GPS/Sat Nav

Johnbu · 21st February 2006, 11:28 AM

whats the best value for money PDA which can also has GPS for Sat Nav - i know HP iPAQ hw6515 Mobile Messenger, but the reviews were not that great on the software.

so whats out there?

we would also prefer one where we did not have to subcribe $300 p.a. to have the sat nav maps... just the standard downloadable one would be good.

Not too sure of this area but when i was browsing out of interest i found the asus mypal a636 to be nicely spec for its price. Not sure about the maps though but i think it comes with destinator pn 5. its just under $600

Make sure you take a look at it. As it has an inbuilt gps antenna and runs on the lastest windows 5.0

Thanks for the tip, will look out for it

actually, the software bundle with the HP may not be an issue..

i think that free tomtom offer is a HP thing so other retailers will have it too. so do a little shopping around on price..

i know i saw it on www.ht.com.au too.
