The real truth would seem to me that nothing beats a pda (as said by someone
else here) such as Palm, with a good program, perhaps Tiger is the best, and
would also have more features than a peg sensory travel computer, and is more
convenient, AND is stronger, as well as having levels good for anyone, from weak
to strong.
 Maybe a different program for palm has even more features (more interesting)
than Tiger, and is also very strong at its highest level.
 But if you think Palm is convenient for you, I should think so too.
Just make sure it is easy to stop and start at quick notice during travel, and
save positions and easy to see etc. and that there are no battery problems (some
old palms have this problem).
