Donny, I'm using a PDA/Pocket PC with a cell phone (GSM/3G), incorporated GPS, and TomTom software (version 6), Wireless connection, Bluetooth, two cameras. I use it to go everywhere, not only for gigs. I'm going to Berlin/Germany (6000 Kms trip) in three days... with my motorbike and I will bring it with me, properly attached to the bike. It fits in my pocket and it's a great tool.

This is the model: http://www.htc.com.pt/index.php?page=sho...emid=44&lang=en

Cheers,
-- José.

I was watching Good Morning America this morning and they were showing great gift ideas for Fathers Day.
They showed a new Magellan Maestro model 4040 which looks really cool. It features Full USA and Canada maps and all the AAA tour books for the USA built right in and if you belong to the AAA and need assistance, it will notify the Triple A right where your car has broken down.
The list price is $499.00
My son has a Magellan 700 series which he paid $1100 two years ago and loves his.

Lg just borrowed Pioneers GPS design.

I used to be a Magellan dealer and once you have used a Garmin piece, you'll understand why.

Garmin is the big guy, Magellan used to be but they have been bought out and now they are more of a me too company.

try the Nuvi or C series and you won't be disappointed.

Price point that LG will come to you at $275 minus $50 for a total of $225.

Garmins will be at least in the $400 and up.

You get what you pay for

The Gadget Show on UK TV test GPS systems every year, and in the past 3 years the Tom Tom has come top, with the Garmin a very close second, the rest have been a must try harder.
Treat them as a keyboard and try them out in the shop first, as each OS has its own quirks.
