Hi all,i a newbie on here & just looking for a little help
I am after an All-in-one PDA/GPS...i can get the Mio 168 with CoPilot software for £352.50 which as far as i can see is a good price & a good unit.The thing that is holding me back is the Medion from Aldi which is coming up for £249.99,how good will this unit be compared to the Mio?
Can anyone advise me

Thanks
Ian

The one from Aldi is exactly the same unit - a Mitac Mio 168, just running different software.

I'd buy the Aldi one and if you don't like the software then buy Co-Pilot, or TomTom, at a later date. You can get the TomTom software only for about £100 so the end price would be the same (if you bought TomTom as well), or you might find you like the Medion software and will save yourself that £100.

Sorry to be a pain...the Aldi one which will be available tomorrow has got my attention.Now how good are these PDA/GPS units for say taking out on a walk? i'm totally new to this & dont want to waste £250,are they just a bit of a gimmick or will it change my life (so to speak...Laughing Out Loud)

Cheers
Ian

the sat nav package is for driving uf you were going to use it for walking the you would need some other software such as fugawi and probably a battery pack to plug in the bottom
