Handheld GPS
Ever since I started Geocaching, I'm a huge fan of handheld GPS devices. Mitac has just released its Mio 168RS GPS, which is a PocketPC based GPS device.
"The new Pocket PC comes with 32MB Flash ROM and 64MB SDRAM. The display is a 3.5" color Transflective LCD with LED Backlighting, 240 x 320 pixels capable of showing 65K colors. The device also comes with a SD/MMC card slot, compatible with the SDIO standard. Infrared supports IrDA (SIR) and Consumer IR (CIR, 4 meters).
Ready to go from the box and instantly on with the touch of a button, the Mio168RS provides on the spot GPS satellite access, easy navigation with millions of points-of-interest (POI). The antenna can be closed behind the device and kept in place while the GPS is not in use. Point-to-point driving directions are given verbally and visually in real time as users are in route to their destination with turn-by-turn directions."
My only questions concern battery life and durability if you are going to take this on a hike. Lists for $599.00, I wouldnt be surprised if you could find it discounted online.
