I agree on the PPC screen washing out in sun. THe garmin 60Cx screen is ok in sun, but the ipaq 2190 screen is not. Both Ram mounted. Vibration and dirt .. tested and survived .. sorry not much in the way of rain around here at the moment..
I run Oziexplorer on the PPC and it is good for raster maps .. certainly takes less space and weight compared to the paper maps ... and you don't have to find out where you are on the map. Just where you want to get to (or where you should be).
Yes .. I have a pen or two .. and some paper .. and a paper map .. but not the amount I used to carry before the PPC and GPS ..
