    Hi - can someone recommend a good handheld GPS receiver for use in pedestrian navigation of cities? I need something that can download maps for different cities/areas. Some ideas on prices and where I might get the best bargains would also be useful.

    Many thanks - John :confused:

    Thanks for the reply. Does the Garmin unit allow you to enter a street address and have the unit map out a route for you?

    On a similar note, and apologies for hijacking the thread, Komplett have a CF GPS receiver for the PDA for 90 Eurons.

    It's here

    Anyone know if it is any good? Also, what software would you pair it up with?

    Thanks for the offer but I was actually inquiring on behalf of a friend who subsequently went off the idea because the handheld units wouldn't talk (unlike his car model). He wanted it as a present for his wife - they recently moved to a foreign city. Anyway, thanks again and I'm sure you'll find a buyer.
