Advice on GPS PDA's please.

[broona]

My boss is after a reasonably cheap (less than £200) GPS setup, and I said I'd look into it for her.
Been looking at the Mio A201 here, is this any good? The ability to use it in either portrait or landscape mode looks great!
Also read that Holux stuff's good, found this kit on Ebay, would that be any good? Thanks.

The Mio A201 looks like a nice PDA (Bluetooth but no WiFi, and perhaps a less powerful processor than the very newest models), but the basic price in your link excludes software:

"This PDA is sold without any bundled mapping software which allows total flexibility in selecting appropriate software for your particular application."

But then this package looks a very good price (£255.28 (£299.95 incl. VAT)) if you can stretch your budget. Anyone know how this software compares?
