anyway, a GPS receiver would be a welcomed addition since my PSP is already mounted. only thing would be if the GPS would fit on my PSP in the mount.....

=> Not everyone has all of those. You could very well end your comment with "Why are they loading the PSP with this crap of games? I already have a DS for that."
(I kid, I kid; I enjoy gaming on both PSP and DS)

Heh then again I already have a GPS device becuase I'm directionally impared. By the way don't by the new Syphon Filter for the PSP, I feel so gyped. Shoulda just waited to waste my money on Harvey Birdman, or that new LocoRoco-esk game.

Okay you gotta be a total idiot to buy a PSP for "only" the GPS function. Most of us would just buy a device meant for GPS, kinda like Garmin products or Tom Tom.
This GPS on the PSP is a feature, just like internet browser, music, etc. but it is meant for games. Just like when you buy a phone BUT has a features of like camera, alarm clock, GPS,and etc.. but it is STILL mainly a phone. Have it figured out yet?
Its like buying a PSP for internet alone or Music.
With both Skype and GPS services available I may have to trade in my PSPhat.

Weight (most important when hiking) = 12 oz
PSP Slim
Weight 6.7 oz + GPS attachment .75 oz = 7.55 oz
Your point was?

The sites I post on (I'm assuming you are only going by Kspraydad and not any of my other IDs) is irrelevant to the fact that the PSP GPS is a great add on for those that already own a PSP and that the PSP+GPS is lighter than the Tom Tom you mention. If, for instance, you had mentioned any of the other GPS systems that weigh LESS than the PSP+GPS (see here: http://reviews.cnet.com/4566-3430_7-0.html?tag=brdcrmb) I would not have commented.)
Are there OTHER features that make a TOM TOM better at GPS than a PSP+GPS combo?...absolutely, but NONE of those have anything to do with hiking which is the function you raised.
AFAIK weight is one of the most important factors in determining weather to bring an item hiking or not.
Have an awesome day.
Plus no touchscreen so hello slow controls...
And poor battery life.
Time to get a small handheld Tom Tom me thinks.
