Portable GPS
 

Has anyone ever purchased one of these? It would be nice to have one in your car while you drive and have the ability to take it out on road trips with friends.

yes, they are very good for traveling.

there are many different uses, for street travel in USA, a laptop, the usa street software, and the delorme serial connection gps is very good.

for aviation and boating i think garmin is the best.

if you are just looking for a cheap gps with a map go to ebay and get a garmin emap or etrax---very good 12 channel receiver---works best with external antenna in the car.

NOBODY?!?!?!?! :321GFY

This is the best one on the market. The Magellan Color:

I kind of want one to go in the car. Isn't that one too small?

I want to get the Delphi unit soon. That thing is pretty cool.

i use a PDA (ipaq 2215) in combination with a bleutooth GPS receiver and navigation software from "tomtom"

works very good, and is cheap compared to other portable GPS systems. that combination costs like $500

i am thinking of getting an ipaq 5555

better be quick, i've read hp is going to discontinue that model
or you an always buy a used one
