If you have a suitable mobile phone then that's an option? I have a bluetooth GPS that ties in with my phone to let me do track logging. I haven't got navigation software for it mainly because I have a TomTom that handles that just fine.
Yes, it's an interesting question how one splits up the GPS, PDA and phone isn't it. I *very* rarely use a mobile phone so I have an ancient minimalist Sendo at the moment. However I could be persuaded that a new mobile phone plus a logging bluetooth GPS would be the way to provide my GPS logging. ... and then a separate road navigation system for the 'bike.
One suggestion is the Nokia 810 which is Linux based so that's an extra plus.
Does anyone here have any experience of this device? For a start how big is it, I can't see this information in any of the adverts.
Thanks, that has told me just about everything I wanted to know about it - and more!
The problem I see with it is that you still need a mobile phone as well as the Nokia 810 if you're going to be able to use the N810 from anywhere except where there is wireless internet available.
