PDA

[colley]

I have been looking at getting a PDA to run memory map
I currently have memory map on my iphone but would like a stand alone unit to run it.
Have seen many PDA'S on ebay and not sure what is best as i have never used one before.
Would like a bit advise on which one to get
If you no of good PDA any advise would be appreciated
Would like one with all the kit like car chargers and cradle etc......
Thanks

The 02 xda2 was a cracker, I had one a few years ago, if I remember correctly they needed an external GPS receiver (I happen to have a tom tom one here ) bluetooth.

Good screen size on them too, I am sure Andysd1 was selling one he may still have it.

I've got a Navman (brand new £35 in chargers and cradle), but the screen on these PDA's is too small i reckon. I'm considering buying one of these cheap windows based tablet PC's you see on the bay

If anyone could put an ebay link of a good one with cradle, gps, in car chargers etc... that would be great There is a lot to choose from and i dont no what i am looking for

Looks fine mate. And you can fit an external antenna to it as well like mine http://www.handtec.co.uk/product.php/34 ... al-antenna
Which is handy because they do struggle for signal sometimes in some very remote / heavily wooded areas.

Think i will watch this one
Just need to get a copy of memory map now

[BoxCleva]

Can help you there

[Drift]

You want the biggest screen you can get, Ive tried small screens trust me

[colley]

I am young ste and have no trouble with my eyes

[BoxCleva]

PM sent.

[Drift]

cant wait to see your face in the car looking at a small screen

you can get mm to run on android so how about getting a cheap android tablet with an 8inch screen and making a mount for you car you would need to find one with gps though

[Drift]

Or Bluetooth and get an external GPS

[colley]

Would this do the job I do like the look of this
It says built in gps. Do you think it would need another gps receiver

Bit late of know coming in with this one but I believe Trev (country_est) put a post on here a couple of months back showing PDA/laptop and slave screen/monitor combination in his motor

Don't know without trying but as it's got USB ports it isn't a problem if you find you need one at a later date.
