Hi,

I use paper 1;25000 maps with a GARMIN geko101 which
does not connect to anything even a mains plug.

What would be the cheapest PDA/GPS/Mapping combination
out there ?

MP3 playing and Bluetooth would be a bonus.

The cheapest with Bluetooth would be the iPAQ 1940 I believe. For hillwalking etc Memory Map would be the recommended software.

We sell the 1:50,000 versions but you can get 1:25,000 maps from their website @ http://www.memory-map.co.uk/maps_uk.htm.
