GPS for laning?

Hi folks, after blundering down a RUPP today by accident and surviving a nerve wracking downhill gully straddle, I reckon I need a GPS unit in future, can anyone recommend a PDA (cheap old model that I can get from ebay) that'll take the Memory Map OS maps?

Ipaq or Mio are always good for that.

Thanks for the info, I'll start searching!

yeah ipaqs seem to be the preferred generic PDA

I use a palm tungsten III and a bluetooth GPSr but then I only use coordinate data with a compass nav screen, no maps.

im hopefully going to be running memory map on my hp ipaq

The only problem you're likely to have is if it has TomTom on as well. You need to edit the registry and unhide the GPS so MammeryMap can use it as well
