I need a GPS handheld unit for remote rural regions eg ski touring in Kosi National Park and a screen mounted unit to get me around
Sydney and
Brisbane CBD's
Is there a unit on the market that would perform both functions or do I need to get 2 different GPS units for each application

Gday,
Ive got an ASUS PDA.
Ive found it to do everything I want it to do so far except work.
Seriously
Mine stuffed up while away...when you plug it into the charger the GPS signal drops out. And a few issuse that could possibly be my set up.
Im hoping it comes back all fixed up and there are no problems after that.
Do a search on ASUS PDA MYPAL.
Its another option of many
Cheers

If you really want a rugged PDA, then look for the TDS Nomad.. has inbuilt GPS receiver, and runs the Windows CE 6 classic... OziE runs on that platform... can't remember what the other 'road app' was called...
.. and Ram-Mount has a mounting system for it. Their suction cups work really
well. I've got two; one for the phone and one for the Tom Tom One gps... works like a charm.
.. only drawback is its price.. too much $$'s for my liking else i would have bought one (I am a gadget freak). Now looking at getting a Panasonic Toughbook CF-30 as a salary sacrificed notebook (you can, I am told, get PDA's on that scheme as
well..) as my employer provides some $$ support if you decide to buy your own non-standard laptop. Ends up costing me ~>$2500 which is not too bad for that platform.
