    Don't know about $500, but a Dopod D810 / HTC P3600 does very nicely. Closer to $1000 though.

    anything with 64mb internal memory and a gps reciver inbuilt will cut it providing its running windows mobile 5 or better. IF you hit that spec I'll send you the setup I used to use in my old mio. you used to be able to get a GPS that did its magic via the SD slot but I havent seen them for ages.

    I did a bit of research on these and ended up with the HP rx5965 IPAQ- a PDA with inbuilt GPS -seems to run quite well with Oziexplorer. Good screen and comes with vehicle mount kit.
    There's another model the same only with no WiFI (rx5765 )that you'll pick up these days for $500.
    Mine has 2GB internal memory and can take a 2GB SD card as well. Comes with TomTom Street Navigator and all the normal Windows Mobile things Outlook, Excel, Word etc.
    The only issue I have is that it locks itself up sometimes - but there's a soft reset button that fixes that. Seems to only happen an appoinment in Outlook pops up when Ozi is running.

    I have a Toshiba E570 that I got second hand about 2-3 years ago for $145. Plus I got a CF GPS for $125ish (new) and a 1 gig SD card for $99ish (a bargain back then) (new).
    Running Windows PPC 2002.

    I got everything from Ebay.

    IMHO $500 will not buy everything you need new although I haven't looked lately.
