Hi all,

Are they any good?

Any advice appreciated

TomTom Go, is a very good unit, and you can add the Safety Camera database to it aswell.

Check out the forums on this site http://www.pocketgps.co.uk/index.php

There are so many to choose from, how can I differentiate from the good brands from the crap ones?

I reckon Eltrex, Navman and Tom-Tom are the top three, IMHO of course.

Go to Global Positioning Systems, they have good pricing and tons of advice.
All their feedback seems good too.

It all depends on your wants n needs.
I want an "all in one" PDA style that can be used walking or driving, but I want seriously good accuracy from the software in regard to street names, which is where I`m having my trouble.

TomTom go has brilliant write ups, but to me, it`s just too big and only moves between vehicles. I`d prefer the PDA mobility.

(Mitac Mio168 and NavMan PiN are the same units, btw, good on most fronts, but bad from the non-user changeable battery)
