Worth changing my iPAQ for the right SatNav

Ian67 · #1 (**permalink**) 02-09-2004, 03:53 PM

I have an iPAQ 3850 and, until it was stolen a Navman/ Pocket CoPilot (so it says on the box) which wasn't great.

I need a new Sat Nav system but wondered if it was worth trading up my iPAQ at the same time - I have no affinity with Compaq/HP so any recommendations are welcome.

Is Bluetooth a must?
Thanks

Bluetooth is not a must but it can be usefull, what do you use the PDA for apart from Sat Nav?

I use it for Outlook, Word, Excel, contacts, etc - generally sync my Desktop
Don't use if for much multi-media stuff - a nice to have rather than essential

If i was you i would look at the 2210, its about mid range in the scale of PDA's. It does have CF, SD for memory and Bluetooth if you ever want to connect to devices wirelessly.

Have a good look about the forums and customer reviews.

What would you recommend for SatNav and where can I sell my 3850?
Thanks for your help

sell your PDA, post on our market place and Ebay i would say. SatNav is really down to users choice, Tom Tom, Navman are the main players but i would read up before your purchase.
