KSJohn Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 I have been thinking of getting a PDA. What is a good one to get in this day & age. Am prepared to spend $300-$400 on one. Lets here your recommendations. I will be using mainly for addresses, notes while on the road. In doing some looking online, there are a lot of choices. The one I am using now is a Garmin IQue 3600, but the gps has quit working and I have not contacted Garmin yet to see if they will fix it or not. I really liked the garmin while on the road and getting around someplace new, as long as I had the street address in it ahead of time. Are there any of the new ones out now that have the gps?

+StarBrand Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 I don't know much about them but I do know that Mio makes a line of Windows PPC devices that include GPS function - saw one a local store for $389. Quote Link to comment
+naviguesser74 Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 I suggest a BT capable Palm. GeoNiche software. And a BT GPSr by USGlobalsat. Quote Link to comment
+Night Stalker Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 I am using the Ipaq pocket PC which is now owned by HP. This has been a good unit and for the amount of money you are talking about you should be able to get a unit with a good bit of software installed. Mine has picket Word and Excel as well as a number of other programs. Quote Link to comment
htpchelp Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 I use Fujitsu Siemens Pocket Loox N560, has TomTom for roads, memory map for detailed hike/walks. Using extended battery (lasts + 6hrs). Can connect to mobile phone for live updates (I do not really connect to the web this way a lot) via bluetooth, connects to PC/ laptop either wifi or USB for downloading waypoints to from PC. Very fast processor and great screen resoultion which is still one of the best to date. Get a waterproof skin/ holder to protect unit from rain and if you drop the unit. Also get a 2nd battery or a usb battery just in case. unfortunately not available now, only 2md hand from ebay. Quote Link to comment
