FWIW I am our resident in house gadget freak at work, biggest problems is the depth of my pockets (short with long arms), however one of my bosses seems to like gadgets and has
NO IDEA how to set them up. Thats where I come in.
A couple of months back I was summoned to his office to be given an Ipaq (model no escapes me but it has fingerprint logon technology - cool except when you reset - "can I borrow your finger").
It uses a bit of software/hardware called
TomTom Navigator it was a breeze to setup and after standing in the car park for 3 minutes we had a satellite fix. The mapping is perfect and instructions first class.
He bought the maps of Western Europe last week and is currently testing the French one, I will find out how well he got on tomorrow.
Overall for a very modest outlay £300 Ipaq (not his but a normal one) and approx £2-300 on the sat nav software and hardware it is a fantastic bit of kit which has reached the top of my things to buy.
You can set Points Of Interest which include all of the registered UK safety cameras a licence saver in todays big brother state.
Only one setback as far as it is concerned the voice that comes over the Ipaq is hard to hear on the move so you may need to use the headphones when travelling.
