				| I've had a few different GPS's ... 
 Garmin StreetPilot I3 :- Decent software, quick startup & good maps, but let down by weird controls and small screen ... also the fact that it looks like a plasticy mid 70's computer terminal doesn't help.
 
 HP iPAQ RX1955 with TomTom 5.xx  & OEM Antenna Kit :-  Startup nice and quick, software ok-ish, maps truly awful.  You'd get half way down a street, and it would just drop off. Crap.
 
 Magellan RM300 :-  Decent Touch Display, good maps, easy to use software, a bit naff looking, but comes with sturdy windshield boom arm.  Downside, got no batteries so has to be mains or vehicle powered.
