I was all set to get an Advent Vega refurb but PC World no longer had any stock of these either in their main website or the Ebay store. Perhaps they want to maximise full price sales before Christmas - but £200 is more than I want to pay.
I still want to get a Vega - I fancy having an unbrickable tablet to tinker with and the bigger screen is better for browsing and media playback at home.
Anyway, I am now thinking of the £99 Archos 70 as an stop-gap. I'm a bit put off by the 256MB of memory but it would be more portable as a "take anywhere" media player. And (finally getting to the point), I want it to double up as a sat nav.
I was thinking of getting a cheap bluetooth GPS receiver (like this http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B...d_i=B00008W5X5) and installing Navfree.
I know people have got Navfree working on the Vega but I can't find any posts with anyone doing this with the Archos 70. Has anyone done something similar with the Archos here? Or are there any practical issues that anyone can think of that might stop this working with the Archos?
Thanks!
