This will probably sound stupid, but this topic has got to be one of the hardest purchasing decisions I have had to make!!

I have a great bluetooth IPAQ 2215, crying out to be used to max capacity, and the prospect of getting a GPS Road Nav package like Tom Tom, and reusing it with PocketFMS and/or MemoryMap for air nav, seems at times to be a no brainer.

Then I check the forums, and there are as many people not happy with the mounts, the glare, the fact that it is too fiddly to properly use mid air, the complex downloads required, suspect bluetooth connections, etc, and I back off, and consider the Garmin Pilot 3, and a £10 road atlas....

Price of both options seems to be about the same: £300-£400.

Anyone out there with an argument that will make my mind up once and for all?
