Tried one at work the other day. Stunning, although the voice directions could be a bit quiet. Also the maps are'nt as complete as a full SatNav System on CD. Most addresses I knew of were on there though. The 64Mb version only has maps for the SE of England though. The 128Mb version is much more complete.

You can also use it to set custom waypoints and alerts so, you could in theory use it to mark out 'accident blackspots'

Neil
Thanks for that.
Any ideas where to get the jacket from?The Ipac i will probably get from MISCO although they do not sell the GPS jacket unless there is anyone doing them as a 'bundle' so to speak

You can buy it from Dixons, might be an idea to try it out there too.

Just researched it a bit
I can get the Ipaq 3850 + the 128mb Nav system from Dixons (shudders) for £ 999.00 incl VAT which seems like a decent price - Saves £ 150.00 over buying as seperates.
