I'm looking to buy a small PDA type sat nav system that is portable and
that I can use for those out of town / suburban runs that I get.

I was thinking about getting Tom Tom Navigator with a suitable iPaq.
Went to look in Halfords who have a Medion System for £350.


I have a Toyota previa with built in satnav. It is supposed to have
inputs from speed sensors and steering sensors. One day my boss came
over from Holland with his PDA running tomtom. We had them both
running together with the same destination set on a trip over the
pennines on the small roads.Without fail they came up with identical
directions at the same time the PDA usually less than a second later.

One could have been forgiven for thinking they were using the same
basic "engine" and the same basic map (which might I suppose be the
OS!).


P.S. I have the knowledge for central London but need help when I go out
to the suburbs - which is quite often as I work nights.


They are very useful devices even after going to the same customers
for 17 yeras I find it handy.
