Sat Nav Pda, Ipaq, navman etc..

Post by Polo-03 »

Iam wanting to buy a sat nav unit but am very confused as to what to buy etc. I want it to be a cheap as possible even second hand as its for my work only. I know that you can get sat nav on a hand held PDA but is this the cheapest option? I need some advice about all this if anyone could help. It doesnt need to be the "best product" just avarge but cheap. I really dont know anything about this stuff. Would I get something under £100 or am I being silly? Also I dont know the difference between navman and tom tom etc its all double dutch to me. Any help please?

U are unlikely to find anyting for under £100 unless its second hand. Just the software and receiver for a PDA are like £200. I'm using a PDA and tomtom navigator and I've found it very good.

I use a Palm Tungsten T3 with TomTom Navigator.

Not the cheapest option :(

Palm do a Zire kit with built-in Via Michellin software and an add-on GPS for fairly good money, but I'd probably go for a Medion All-In-One Windows Based GPS PDA for about £250 and see if you can find the TomTom Software cheap for it.
