I'll throw in my 2 cents worth. I recently bought an iQue 3600. It's a full Palm based PDA with a GPS receiver built in. I added a 1Gig SD memory card. With that I can store about 1/2 of the North America City Select street maps. Whe the 2 Gig SD cards come down in price I'll be able to fit all of the NA City Select. I also have a program called CacheMate. I have all active caches in AZ stored as well (about 3900). This is along with the description of the cache and the recent logs. I can have CacheMate search for caches near my location (or some other location), and then convert it into a waypoint on the maps (3800 active waypoints slows down the mapping too much so I don't have them all active as waypoints all the time). CacheMate will also allow me to make notes for my log on a cache and then HotSync it to my desktop when I get home. I also have a jpeg viewer so I can download any pictures from the cache page and view them while looking for the cache. I recently captured a jpeg of a topo map from National Geographic TOPO! and loaded that for viewing while looking for the cache. Unfortunately, it wont display my location on the topo. I originally got the iQue for use in the car. It will calculate a route and then give me voice prompts while driving. The color screen is larger than most other GPS units and even some of the Street Pilots. Plus, it has a built in MP3 player so I can listen to music while caching or on a road trip. The mail drawback is the battery life. With the screen on max backlight and the GPS on, it only lasts a couple hours. Turn off the backlight and it lasts longer. I still use my eTrex Legend for caches which require hiking since it is more rugged and the battery lasts longer. However, for in town caches, the iQue basically does everything and makes for completely paperless caching.
