Flying Bull,
Ive never tries one but have always assumed the Ipaq/GPS combo look a little cumbersome esp if flying say an R22? Touch screen a bit fidly, and possibly glare on the screen? Also dont these devices act a little slow at updating (not instant)? But I guess it works ok on the road aswell?

I have a tom tom, and when I reach a roundabout, particularly ones with 4-5 offshoots, it does not keep pace with the car speed which frequently results in wrong exits taken. I should add that I dont speed at roundabouts.
