one last thing... I bought a TyTN II smartphone which has a gps built in. It came bundled with "mapking" maps and they're supposedly specialists in asian maps. I'm not recommending them, just pointing out an alternative mapsource to look at. They're at http://www.mapking.com/eng/home/index.html or http://www.mapking.com/tc/home/index.html (chinese)
no, here's the last thing... have you looked at google maps for mobiles? (http://www.google.com/mobile/default/maps.html).

There's also The GPSMap Project - bidirectional interaction between your GPS and Google Maps.

cGPSMapper - Create your own maps for Garmin GPS's, (note that you'll need a mapping GPS unit which the Gecko 201 is not).

Hi tsaint How is the Office software going?

Thanks to both of you I am on my way to Shaoguan now and I will back on the 4th so I will check these out next week.

4wd I do not mind getting a mapping GPS but as I am new to all this I would need an easy to use mapping GPS.

The one that gives that best features, (that you will use), map coverage and detail in the areas that you want for your selected price range.

Unless you provide a lot more detail on where you want to travel and what features you want then the only way to decide is for you to visit each manufacturers website and discover what maps are available and what the unit can do.  Or visit a store where you can play with the actual units.

Anything we could recommend is biased towards what we use the units for.

For example, I have no need of a SatNav unit, (AFAIAC it contributes to the dumbing down of the species :) ), however I do have a GPS that can tell me where I am, (coordinates only), but I still require a map and knowledge of how to read it to locate my position with respect to the environment.  So anything I could recommend definitely won't apply to someone who wants a unit to tell them where to go.
