The Bottom Line	Thanks to excellent navigation software, the iQue M5 ranks among the best GPS/PDA combos we've seen--but it's too expensive.	Maps and personal data go hand in hand with the Pharos Traveler GPS 525, a PDA that effectively combines organization with navigation to not only find where you are but also point you where to go.	Though still a practical PDA/GPS combo, the Mio 168RS offers few compelling improvements over its predecessor.	Despite its poor battery life, this Garmin is a powerful PDA and an accomplished GPS device.	The Asus MyPal A636 is a PDA with a built-in GPS receiver that puts maps and directions on an equal footing with appointments and e-mail. While it delivers accurate directions and long battery life, it's a bit sluggish.
