No you can't put grid refs in there is a poi (points of interest) file with the start/end of Boats. that you can load in to tomtom.

There is a car satnav that will run MemoryMap (Can't remember it's name)

I run an Ipaq PDA with both TomTom and MemeoryMap on it. if you want the memorymap dvd's theres plenty of free downloads and people who are willing to make & Send you a copy.

i think its the road angel navigator 7000? or something like that pikey.

whatever PDA you get, remember you need to couple it with a GPS reciever. i picked up an old Dell axim x30 off ebay for £30 and GPS for £35. its a cheaper way of getting things :D ive also just been told i could use fugawi navigator on my PDA with scanned maps (stored on SD card) for when i go to Morocco the end of this year :)
 
right been looking at the road angel navigator 7000,and i'm a little confoosed griffdowg you said i'll need a gps rerciever do i still need one with one of these?

No the road angel comes with the gps all ready built in it looks like a tomtom go or navman GPS but will run Memoerymap as well. I have an Ipaq 6915 which also has a built in gps as well as wifi, bluetooth, gprs, gsm, IR. some PDA's don't have built in GPS and these need an external GPS receiver usually Bluetooth. But there are other types as well.

what satnavs or PDA/GPS?

my PDA and Memory Map is giving me 2-4m accuracy everytime. when you zoom in, its spot on with features around me everytime.
