PDA?

[KSJohn]

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?

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.

I suggest a BT capable Palm. GeoNiche software. And a BT GPSr by USGlobalsat.

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.

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.
