PDAs can be used to do many things other than navigation support or path tracking before buying you should identify which features you really need.the most recent and advanced handheld GPS cost too much (they start from 350 Euro), while cheap ones have very limited features and storage capability instead in the PDA world I found some recent models that are more affordable (250 to 300 Euro) and have plenty of features.handheld GPS battery life is much longer than PDAs (15-25 hours vs 4-5 hours).handheld GPS devices are usually designed for sport purposes, where the need for accuracy is much more critical than what is required for car navigation, so they tend to be more accurate than regular gps receivers that can be found on PDAs for instance, many handheld GPS support WAAS/EGNOS while most PDAs don't, and their gps signal under trees is stronger than average.I made a list of the disadvantages and advantages of PDA with GPS over handheld GPS: view my position on mountains maps when I go hikingįirst, I had to choose between PDAs with GPS and handheld GPS devices (like Garmin eTrex and Geko, Magellan eXplorist, Meridian and SporTrak).The last summer I decided to buy a GPS device for these purposes: Connecting to internet via bluetooth phone.
