so we recently ordered and are about to return a new magellan triton 2000
the thing can display raster maps
but overall it sucks so back it goes
today i just ordered a Nokia n810 to test out for the same pourpose
1. daylight read able screen
2. built in keyboard
3. cheap nokia battery
4. built in gps (not the best one though)
5. Maemo Mapper which apparently downloads google tiles as the mapping background as well as other raster tiled sources
we ordered it from newegg
ill tell you how it works out when i get a chance to use it
