The only solution I can think of is a PocketPC running Memory-Map for off-road and any one of a dozen possible on-road solutions.
There are no combined on/off-road solutions currently available. Memory-map used to have a RoadAngel device that combined the two but it wasn't great and I can't see it on their web site any more.
Plenty of waterproof cases that would fit a PocketPC, Brodit even have a case designed for fitting to a handlebar. _________________ Darren Griffin - Editor
I use a phone (Sony Erricson C702) for everything. It's a "Jack of all trades, master of none", but suits me perfectly.
Plenty of online companies can provide most of the mapping features you want for a fee. Personally, being the cheapskate I am, I use opensource maps (openstreetmap) and software (gpsmid) for navigation, and Mapnav and downloaded topo maps for off road. I (rarely) back these up with online mapping if the above don't cover what I need.
I believe Buyinig hardware and/or software is the most expensive way to get navigation, given map upgrade costs and initial outlay, a few quid a week is a bargin, and it's getting cheaper every day. Check out Nokia - it's free.
