It's a pretty good solution. Just remember that the antenna placement is nothing you can control - make sure it works in your car.

I bought the MITAC MIO 168 during a visit to Hong Kong two months ago. I thought it was a great idea to have the GPS integrated as my intention was to use it for hiking in the Pirenees, for example.

As for today, I have invested significant time in trying to solve problems. I was sold the PDA which said the software was in English, that was not true, only PPC 2003 was in English, the maps and GPS software were in Chinese.

I still think it's an interesting idea but I'm going through problems like the PDA hard-reseting itself and my losing all the info and programs I had previously loaded. Maybe I got a faulty unit, or at least one with a faulty battery.

An added problem is that I could not find (in the Chinese CD!) any piece of software that would enable the GPS to be used with cross-country maps, thus I cannot actualy use it for hiking.

The most positive thing I can say is that their Belgian support staff are great, definitively helpful.
