Thread: what pda will run gps

Garmin IQue M5, excellent unit, with routing, also tracks4australia maps for more detail in out of way places and OziexplorerCE to run my own maps.

Bit dearer than what your looking at, the M4 is cheaper and if you like palm format the 3600 but has a few extra problems.
Very happy and never ceases to amaze my mates.

Regards

But you'l l need to buy some 2G SD cards ( about $35 each ) and OziExplorerCE ( about $35) I suppose - so add $100 or so.

hmmmm might have to look at another one. I had a problem with the power cable on mine last week so I tossed it over my shoulder (in the car) and I haven't been able to find it yet .

When I bought mine I specifically wanted a CF GPS (so it was all in one unit) and SD memory card so it narrowed the field to have both in the one PDA so an onboard GPS would be great.

how does this sound

Thanks for that

I've never had it so flat that it wouldn't at least flicker the screen.

I have to pull it apart anyway. I am going to hard wire it to 12v battery with a switch and then bolt it to a small frame which is in turn bolted to the dash. I don't use it out of the vehicle anyway.

i have bought a hp[IMG]file:///C:/DOCUME%7E1/bl/LOCALS%7E1/Temp/moz-screenshot-2.jpg[/IMG] 5765 it is running tom tom.what do i now need to find to run topo maps etc.
