CF card or microdrive?

I'm thinking of getting either a PNY 80x 1GB CF card or a 2.2GB Magicstor microdrive to copy my TTN5 installation to. The PDA is an hx4700. Are there any particular pros/cons to suggest which to go for? The microdrive is £41 from Ebuyer and the CF card is £49. Is it worth paying the extra for a high speed CF card?

Go with the CF card, the micro drive will consume more battery power, and the unit you are looking at has a poor quality issue - I nearly bought one four months ago until I did some internet searches - I use 80x CF Lexus cards in the 4700, and they are great - Mike

I would agree. The Microdrive is also considerably slower, especially for larger route calculations.

If it uses more power and it's slower then it looks like the CF card. Thanks for the help - appreciated.
