Hi all,
I am after my first GPS and wants it to be capable of both Street GPS and loading of topo maps. Rocked up to Johnny Appleseed this afternoon and got the following recommendations:
1) Ipaq rx5965 (which includes TomTom 6 Navigator) @ $729

2) Memory-Map Austour @ $249 which apparently has a full set of Hema 4x4 tour maps within and "discoverer" license included
http://www.ja-gps.com.au/memorymap_1.htm
Now the questions:
1) Has anyone used the Memory-Map Austour before? Is it easy to use? Remember this is my first GPS as such i have no knowledge of Oziexplorer, Magellan, Garmin etc etc.
2) How hard is using a pda compared to say Garmin, Magellan etc etc
3) Anyone used an Ipaq rx5965 before?
Thanks... much appreciated... btw going the pda route because I can salary sacrifice.
