Getting from A to B

Since my last faithful old SatNav was stolen I have been toying with the idea of buying a new one and have been swinging (Not swinging as in a "Swinger" !!! ) back and forth between yes and no. Do I need one these days as I don't go anywhere or do I need one these days because I MAY go somewhere or do I just need one because it has been a pain in the butt reading poor maps and A to Z guides getting around locally. Long and the short of it.... I am buying a new one, indeed a replacement. Just as I thought the search would be straight forward I discover that it isn't. Just how many combinations of function in one small electronic device do I need?

• Essential to have UK and European Maps - I will be going to Ibiza again.. by road?
  
• Voice directions - Oh Yes, don't you just love those commanding feminine tones?
  
• A large display - Yes, my age demands so.
  
• 3D - Not sure if I need to know that the building is vertical
  
• MP3 Player - No, I have a radio
  
• Traffic information - Yes a must if I am to avoid the traffic jam I am already in.
  
• Speed Cameras (I am not going to call them Safety Cameras!!) - Yes if only to use it to make me rant in advance
  
• Free Map updates - Yes a must for all pensioners
  
• Here's a good one... Dynamic Routing!!! - Must have that (But what is it?)
• Bluetooth.. I am in two minds about this... do I need to use the device to use my phone? Lets wait and see shall we.
• Full Post Code search

On and on the specifications go and the pricing almost as complex that buying a rail ticket for a one way journey from Portsmouth to Chichester on a weekday! I am just keeping any eye on things now to see what offers start to crop us as the new models are released just in time for Christmas... and then my torture starts all over again.

What I need is a portable, pocket sized PC/Phone/SatNav/Camera/Personal Organiser, yes that's it! Oh, I have just seen one ..... it's called a iPhone, but wait, there is a competitor called a Blackberry Storm and also an LG... and .. oh... ahh.... No!! No more..!

It's back to the drawing Board!
