I had a Mio 168, first with TTN3 then updated to TTN5.
I purchased a Mio P350 and continued to use TT, which was OK but I changed to iGO 2006+ software and maps and everything improved.
(Mio 3.2 uses iGO mapping, the interface is slightly different). |

There are so many PDA's around its difficult to recommend one. Top dog is something like the HTC TyTN II (also called many other names) because it comes with everything; bluetooth, wlan, gps and a phone. Worth having a look around for a while before you jump.

I would also consider the HTC Artemis, O2 Orbit, and T-Mobile MDA Compact - III (if you don't need the WiFi) there are a number of phones that offer GPS as well as fully loaded in terms of features, on contract they can be obtain free of charge - Mike |

Take a look at the Asus A696. Has built in Sirf III GPS Bluetooth and WLAn and is priced at around £200, runs Windows WM6.
My son is using one with IGO nav software and performance is pretty impressive. Re Routing is much faster than my Navman ICN520.
