So people, I am looking at getting some sort of GPS system.

Which is the best?

Obviously I could just get one to fit in my car, can get a good one for 800quid.

or

HP IPAQ with bluetooth and GPS set, for about 600 quid, this includes the GPS reciever software, extra memory card(Needs something to store the maps)

again there is this DELL X5 which is just as good as the IPAQ but half the price.

All makes sense, anyone have ideas on this or any other options, if someone says use a map i may just have to open a can of whoop **** upon them, ;o)

my brother has the dell and a mate has the ipaq....cant see why you'd have the ipaq? dell is so much cheaper...only poss. reason is that the ipaq has bluetooth and so can work with a bluetooth gps unit instead of the slot in type.

however.....i have a widescreen GPS unit built into the TV my 540 and cant see how anyone can use the dinky screens on the hand helds.

if you use your sat nav a lot (i use it for 90% of trips) get a proper screen in the car.
