I did it by getting a HPipaq Pocket PC about £250 then a gps thingy
(GPSmart) about £100 cables and cradles another £50. TomTom software (I
understand you can download this for free of the internet but this is
naughty and you shouldn't do this). Total cost for everything about £400.
The pocket PC will also run the OS maps and games and mp3s etc.(I understand
you can download the OS software and all the maps for free of the internet
but this is naughty and you shouldn't do this).
The advantage of doing it this way is if you are a walker (ie don't have a
car, can't think of any other reason to walk) the GPSmart thing can be used
like a pocket compass.
Got my stuff from www.expansys.co.uk
