Why buy yet another gadget when your PSP can do it for you

Used the PSP GPS to get me to (and around) the South of France this summer. Indispensible. Got me around Paris and through tiny country lanes to get me perfectly to my destination. When I bought it I thought the voice would be too quiet but found it perfectly OK.
There were 2 drawbacks though - the screen reflects the sun horrendously so took some time to get the optimum position right so I could still see the screen - and then it was still hard going when the sun was shining brightly (admittedly not such a problem in the UK!). Having a PSP-3000 will probably fix that.
Other problem was the software crashed 3 times over a 2 week holiday, rebooting the PSP. Thankfully it didn't happen at moments when I really needed it.
Overall though it worked very well and is a tool I will use a lot more particularly on foreign holidays.
very impressive piece of kit

I have had the pleasure of using this great piece of kit and i was very impressed. Here are my findings:
Good points:
small, compact GPS reciever, screws into the top of your PSP, (fat or slim psp)
Maps on UMD.
All the features you'd find on other GPS systems e.g waypoints, find destinations, create journeys etc. absolutely excellent.
Bad Points:
takes about 10-20 secs to lock onto satellite and now and again will drop signal if you're in a wooded area, however it does find the signal again within 10 secs i found, so its not too much trouble
pricing. you can get the GPS alone for £30 in places, so the rest of your money is going towards the software. Whilst i do believe it's worth every penny, it's still pricey.
overall - great GPS system, you will not be disappointed.
Worth it or not?

No, sorry it's a great toy but - OK it is good and it does work eventually, but there are cheaper and better ones available. You must think the total cost, the PSP + GPS now that is getting expensive, and then what if it is stolen, that's the PSP and your satnav gone leaving you with a pile of mini coasters that only another PSP can use. So if you have 99 quid floating around and fancy a GPS then go for it else get something proper!!
