    It's €455 and uses Navteq

    well,couldn't find any reviews so far :)

    But I want to buy a single unit rather than two eg:PDA+bluetooth or CF GPS,
    because I don't have a garage,so I don't want to tackle with 2 units+wires etc. every night.

    You might try looking at http://www.garmin.com

    Besides using in the car, it's always nice to be able to slip it in your pocket or take it walking or through the woods without worrying about damaging it. I use a Garmin Etrex Legend, but I use it primarily for outdoor activities and mapping (my job). Also works great for me when navigating in the car. I've used them for about 10 years and they've never failed me. Can also upload/download points and tracks to/from your pc.

    By the way, I'll be visiting Western Ireland in mid-April. Is anyone familiar with software for this unit when navigating Ireland? I've looked at Garmin's MetroGuide Europe and this seems to be what I need. Any thoughts?

    well thats the problem at the moment. Outside Dublin, Cork and Belfast the maps are pretty poor.

    AFAIK navteq just wrapped up in ireland, so I guess we'll have to wait for it to filter through to the software vendors.

    ASUS MyPal 636 seems to be a good option

    Is the Asus using the Navteq maps?

    Well,from Germany you can get the ASUS MyPal 632 (same as 636 less the wi-fi) for €320+€20 shipping.
    This PDA is provided with Destinator PN 5 nav. software (which is using Navteq maps).But if I will order from Germany,it would come with geman maps,wouldn't it?
    Or Destinator is "international"?
    From the UK the Asus would be €90 more...
