Assuming you mean for in car use, I think a Pocket PC is an ideal size
as you can have it near the windscreen without any major effect on
your view so you can look at it with a glance. When you are driving
you need easy to see information as Tomtom provides, not a page full
of detail. My next GPS will most likely be a smart phone with GPS.

| my answer is definitely yes big time
http://www.gpspassion.com/forumsen/...?TOPIC_ID=31517 for
both laptop or tablet
it is the cheapest gps if you have a laptop/tablet already
the tradeoff is the huge hassle of putting it away everytime you are
away from your vehicle for obvious security reason
no matter how secure your laptop/tablet mount, you cannot go off road
