Any thoughts on the Mio 201

Decision to go for a PDA/GPS.
For use in camper van, on the bike & on foot.
Built in GPS highly desirable.
MS WM v5 latest software perhaps a good idea?
UK & Europe street level mapping needed.
Would like a choice of GPS software.
Would like to input Lat/Long POIs
I hear that there are incompatibilty problems with the GPS software on the MIO 201 at the moment.

Am I on the right track with the Mio or is there something else out there that I should be looking at?

borisdo,
I'm in the same boat myself. I'm considering the Asus a632/636 which has a faster processor than the mio but still has the sirfstar III gps chip.

Hi,
Had a look at the Asus 626, looks very good. If take the plunge with an Asus let me know how you get on.

The Mio A201 has issues with TomTom Navigator, the PDA keeps changing the device code on the unit.
