The Mio 168s affordable price even includes a comprehensive set of accessories for using it in your car. This includes: PDA car holder; suction mount; and car cigarette charger. Its the smart choice for ready-to-go, easy-to-use GPS car navigation. [box]Download Microsoft ActiveSync to synchronize your PDA with your desktop computer here.

The x-950 Via Michelin is pretty poor November 21, 2007
Stephen Arthur
GPS is magic (all those satellites), but actually getting it to do something useful means:
1. Full postcode search
2. A menu system that you can understand; or even better, that your former map reader can understand, and use reliably.
The Via Michelin x950 fails miserably on both counts.
Many major locations (my examples - a large Heathrow hotel; St Albans Cathedral) only provide postcodes. You can't find these with the ViaMichelin unless you use an alternative source to determine which street they're on or near.
And the menu system is dire. If you're not careful, having spent time calculating a route, you select 'Main Menu' and get spat out to the start screen. I'm rarely able to follow the same (tortuous) route through the menu system twice in a row. I bought this device for the Michelin information, but it's pretty much unusable.
