The Bottom Line	The Mio 168 hits a couple of roadblocks in the city but still drives off with a winning PDA/GPS combo.	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.	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.	On paper, the Mio DigiWalker P550 looks to be an attractive gadget for the mobile professional, combining the capabilities of a PDA and GPS into one device. However, its poor battery life and subpar navigation skills tell a different story.
