Das Gerät scheint auf dem Acer N35 zu beruhen - da satteln anscheinend einige Anbieter drauf. Für mich (immer noch) eine interessante Alternative zum Standalone, der PDA mit intergriertem GPS-Empfänger:

Ich hoffe sehr, dass das Gerät auch in Deutschland auf dem Markt kommt. Die Navman-Software scheint mir - nach den Beiträgen auch in den englischsprachigen boards zu urteilen - mehr und mehr ihre Kinderkrankheiten abgelegt zu haben und auch zunehmende Anhänger zu finden. Konkurrenz belebt das Geschäft 
Herzlichen Gruß
