Simple Pocket PC for Destinator PN?

Hi folks,

I'm on a very limited budget, and am just trying to see whether I can afford a very basic PDA (Pocket PC?) with GPS to run Desinator PN.

I want a system I can use here in Brazil, and Destinator PN seems to be the only system with maps (for the larger cities). Destinator SP isn't compatible with the maps.

Any recommendations?

TIA

The mio 168 is perfect for this.

You would basically just need a memory card to store the maps. Not sure where you would get one in Brazil though.

Thanks Martin. I can try and get someone in the UK to buy it for me and post it if the worst comes to the worst, and there may be other alternatives. I guess I'll count my pennies.

I have a Kingston miniSD 1Gb card (MLC type). Hopefully I can use that with an SD adapter in the PDA?

Just one question, is there a similar PDA that has one of the full mini type keyboards?

The only PDA i know with built GPS and Keyboard is the ipaq 65xx range.

These are also phones as well so they do push the price up a bit more and it only a thumb keyboard.

Another option would be the Mio A201 and a folding bluetooth keyboard.
