And that is my point.
If you buy everything separately, you end up paying a lot more.
PDA - $600 (good quality one)
Cradle - $135
Bluetooth GPS - $160
OziExplorer - $38 (already had the PC version, otherwise $161)
NATMAP Premium $119
CoPilot 7 or Route 66 (for city streets) $199
That's in the order of $1250+ and you have to install it and configure everything to work together.
The alternative is a Garmin Nuvi 760 which will give a similar solution, but is a little more "proprietary". (You cannot run OziExplorer for instance)
By the time you buy the add-on software for remote/country driving, you are probably around the same cost anyway.
I reckon a packaged solution is much more practical.
It will be interesting to see how
well the Hema unit sells/performs.
