well if you've narrowed your choice down to just one, then just buy it
But seriously, it seems a good way to get Tom tom 3 functionality without messing about with PDAs and cables etc.
If you don't fancy that, but fancy using TT3, then it looks a good, well made option. |

The only drawback is that I don't think you can use any of the add-ons, like Niels' ukpostcode program and Checkpoint or GPSAssist. Some of these greatly improve the functionality of TomTom and would incline me towards the PDA solution, in spite of the extra wires

Got one, can't fault it, except no Post Code search, but that's no big problem. 10/10 |

I have the iPaq 2210 and hard wired GPS reciever
I was so impressed with the UK Postcodes program I sent the guy via Paypal a very nice drink!
I still use TT2 - I have TT3 as a full version (Present) but havent used it yet due the moans and groans about it, and my system works fine at the moments so if it aint broke dont fix it
I have found the Postcode Addon a God Send! No huge POI databases to use just type in the Post Code and away it goes, there are infact only two Postcodes it hasnt recognised for me in the time i've been using it, not bad at all
The TomTom GO looks very impressive, but no room for those important Add Ons a PDA gives you, so the PDA wins for me |

Go get it.
I've had mine now for 2 weeks and can't fault it. It hasn't got me lost yet |
