Hi
Currently, when touring, I tend to use my SPIII in "Route To" mode. It strikes me that, sometimes, it might be nice to be able to use the routing facilities that the Garmin software offers to be more specific about a particular route and so some of the planning the night before.
I could do this by carting round a laptop with the Garmin software installed and the USB programmer but I wondered whether it would be possible to achieve the same result using a PDA?
Clearly the PDA would have to be able to take a (fairly large) storage card holding the maps, etc. has anyone any idea (a) whether this is possible or not, and (b) if yes, which PDA(s) would be most suitable?
(By the way, I'm not really interested in buying a completely new PDA-based GPS unit.)
Many thanks
Pete
