|
|
I'm moving to New Zealand at the end of the year, and would like to be able to 'use' it there also.
I would also like to add WiFi (card?) at some point. I would prefer a 'combo' unit, as it will also be used for walking/hiking to some extent.
Was looking at either the Mio 168 or Acer N35. am i in the right field?
Regards
Kevin |

Pretty close. Your problem will be the WiFi - that's not easily possible with those PDAs.
street routing software will have to be Navman, topographic software probably OziExplorerCE _________________ Lutz

Whats so great about WiFi?
I have a 4700 and TT Nav (BT) I just bought but reckon that the TT Go would be better as I cant get the BT unit to work and fancy a single unit. |

WiFi has lots of uses if you're going to make use of the Pocket PC. It's by far the fastest way to synchronise, also it is longer range than Bluetooth. I can walk around the house with my hx4700, browse the web, play music files from my PC, send and receive email and listen to Internet radio stations.
