Why would you need a GPS?? Men NEVER get lost they just happen to be in the wrong place.

Ive been looking for something like this and on comparison with others it seems to have it all although the display does not seem to be true HD, and it would appear to be one of the earlier models BUT for the money its not bad :D

HD doesn't matter for what Colley is intending to use it for Paul. It's really all about the size of the screen. If you've got a competent passenger with you who can navigate for you the little PDA is fine, but IMO it's too small for the driver to use purely because there is so much more detail on these than something like a TomTom .

Would it be easy to transfer 13g of memory map from my home computer to that as it has cd drive :?:
Would it be just the case of using a memory stick :?:

Yeah you could network them, which will be slow but at least you aren't constantly going back and forth with usb stick, unless of course your usb drive is over 13gb in size

You can burn them to DVD and save pc space, Ive got 25gig of memory maps on my external HD and just transfer maps across to my Desire HD when needed, did the same with the XDA.
The overlays are minute in size too.
I will see if I can get my 8 DVD's back and you can look at them :wink: :wink:

Or you could go to Tesco and buy a 1tb network drive for £24 and do it that way works out cheaper than buying a 32gb flash mem thingy save lots of money AND have all your pcs backed up :D
