BT
Prices are coming down, the latest on Amazon for the TT XL 1 is 175 USD,
and I was wrong is a 4.3 inch screen.
The problem with TT is the battery design. As it is meant to be vehicle mounted,, with dash power tether, the battery is only good for a couple hours when off the charge.
The good parts,,
You can use micro SD cards, I have a spare 4GB card for maps and way-points in the TT. I can also use it as back-up for my camera
You can get all sorts of POI (points of interest) to down load. Airports, Micky D's, Hospitals, VA Clinics,, all sorts of places.
I can feed your local alternate routs info back to TT for distribution to other TT users.
You can get real time updates for weather & accidents(most all are doing this)
Not Good.. The TT and other car rout GPS' are not geared to the walker, conversely treking GPS' are not geared to traffic info & POI..
