I have just sold an ipaq with tom tom navigator 3 and I want to purchase an equivilant, but without the PDA option. I was happy with what Tom Tom provided, but I am not stuck to going with them again

It will just be for car navigation as I am a IT engineer. Needs to have Voice instructions, clear maps and lots of POI's.

Also the chance to upgrade maps

Hmm if you liked TomTom i would suggest you stay with them, maybe look at the TomTom GO range?

I have just brought a Holux GPSmile 60 which comes in at about 260inc vat and although it is still a pda was specifically designed to be used as GPS and has a sirf star III receiver built in.

It don’t have Bluetooth but unless you want instant updates via your mobile or to use it as hands free which i dont i am very very happy with it. It comes complete with car kit and runs Tomtom 5 very well and you have the option to change the software should yo need to.

I used to use a Dell Axim and Bluetooth receiver but this is years ahead and is a nice compromise.

Expect it may have its drawbacks like most do but for me its the best of both worlds and does the GPS bit well.!!

Yeah if you don’t need the PDA side of things (which i do find handy for organising my tasks and calendar etc) The Nav one is going to be the cheaper solution, but will have less functionality than the PDA based systems.

Thanks,

I think I will go for a Navman

Whats the difference between a ICN 510 Premium and a ICN 610.
The 510 is listed as £249 + VAT and the 610 as £169 + VAT on dabs.com
