PDA with a built-in GPS. Is there such a thing?

Im after a small PDA/Pocket PC that will run Tomtom software and has a built in GPS thing, not an external one. It must be able to use the USA map SD card and be relativly cheap. Second hand is fine i would just like to know a few model numbers etc that will do the job

cheers

Hi fcat,

You might want to look for something like a Mitac Mio168.

I'm sure one of the Ipaq series (6500 ?) has this as well

MITAC MIO 168 , A201, A701

Ipaq 65xx and 69xx series

Imate do one as well. The Ipaqs and the A701 are phones as well. The A701 is phone size.

Bear in mind, built-in GPS is all well and good, and nice and tidy and what-not, but you are tied to the chipset that the phone manufacturer decides to use. If the phone doesn't have a SiRF III chipset, then it's not gonna be as good as having a Bluetooth GPSlim for example - plus, the reception might not be as good as a separate GPS unit, and you're sharing your battery between the phone and the GPS chipset. Swings and roundabouts.

I have a Yakumo Delta X running TT5. I am very happy with my toy. I don't know whether these are available in the US.

I previously had a Mitek Mio 168. I was also very happy with it - until it broke. The Mio is available in the US.

I have the Acer N35 which runs TTN5 very well. This can be purchased at a very modest £200 new but has Destinator 3 with it. I prefer using TTN5 but you would have to buy that as a seperate. As far as having more maps you can buy a 1 Gb SD card for £35.

On eBay I just picked up a 1 gig SD card for £21.80.
