Alli <> scribbled on Tuesday, August 07, 2007 1:30 PM: I've pondered getting a gps for my treo 650 for a while, until I finally went with a stand-alone gps (Navigon PNA7000Te) with a 4,3" wide-screen. Comparing the screens, the one on the treo is like a movie-screen for mice(...), while the Navigon one is actually very usable even for the back-seater.
Using anything smaller than 4" in a car is IMO a definite no-no, as it takes to long to make out the route on the smaller treo's screen compared to the bigger Navigon - it's a security thing. BTW, I only use the gps in-car, rarely while being a pedestrian. > You can buy any combination you want.
