Think I like this TomTom better than the Gizmondo

You know that little Gizmondo that I want for my ATV? I think I may have found something I like better. In checking out the Curry's site I found sat nav from currys and a cute little item listed as "HP + TOMTOM HP 1950 & NAV5 GPS Recievers" under their GPS & Sat Nav Devices tab. The little thing has some great features such as 64MB internal memory + 128MB SD card, Microsoft Windows Mobile 5.0 Edition, a 240x320 screen resolution and Voice direction as well as Favorite destination function and an E.T.A function.

I plan to check it out in more detail before I buy, but just look at the cute little thing, it would be so at home mounted on my ATV's handlebars - wouldn't it? Curry's has a lot of other GPS and SatNav systems though, so I plan to do a bit of comparisons between the ones they have and see which I like the best - cuteness counts for a lot, but I want to be sure I'm not overlooking some features I'd like more on another system. My brother uses GPS with his Paragliding and the things are such wonderful devices, I definitely want one for the ATV - particularly if I get into riding out on back country trails and such.

Post a Comment

NOTICE: I love trying to make this a good travel journal and while I know I fall short of my dream, I also spend a LOT of time pondering and rereading comments to see if I should post or delete as robot SPAM. So... a few rules on the comments.

I want anyone, not only Blogger members or Open ID members to be able to comment, however... Please sign your comment, if you do not it will not be published. Anonymous comments help no one and are unreliable.

Also, if you have a strong enough opinion to post a comment, please take time and make it informative - if you had a good time somewhere detail what you mean, don't just say "This place was great!!! Loved the buffet!", and if you had a lousy time please detail it, don't just say "This place sucked and the pool smelled! Ruined my vacation!" I want to feel as if you really were there when I read your comments.

If you have a website or blog where you detailed your experience it is even better, include a link to your website or blog - just make sure it is not to a SPAM site made to endorse/defame a location, because I will delete any that do not strike me as being legitimate personal sites.

Thank you for your help in making it easier for me to know what is robotic SPAM and what are real personal reviews.
