CNET Editors' review

Good
  • THE GOOD

    Solid receiver; included car kit with vent mount and car charger.

  • THE BAD

    Bulky; expensive; software not as comprehensive or advanced as other systems.

  • THE BOTTOM LINE

    Though a bit pricey, the iPaq Navigation System's strong reception and easy-to-read maps get you on the road to a smooth trip.

Great device - wish I had one sooner!

Created: 11/10/05
I have had mine for about a year now -- it works great. You will want to get a mount to hold the IPAQ. I found one on EBay at an excellent price. It provides a good deal of information, not just routing, such as, speed of travel, distance to destination, approx. time to destination (based on what it knows as the posted speed limit given how far you are from the target. I cant take into account traffic lights or congestion.) Knowledge of the area in which you are traveling is helpful but not necessary. It would also be a good idea to get a flash memory card so that you dont eat up too much internal memory for the maps. I especially like this because I can use my IPAQ and dont have to have yet another device.

Pocket GPS and Paperweight

Created: 03/04/09
This is the best paperweight I have owned. It was shipped to me without a power cord and will not charge. It does work as a nice paperweight. The rubber feet on the back even holds papers during a pretty good wind. You could also use it as a fishing sinker with good results. Watch who you buy from on ebay.

HP Bluetooth GPS receiver

Created: 04/06/07
This is my first Bluetooth receiver. I have successfully used it with my older Ipaq H3975 pda and my newer Ipaq HW6515 Windows Mobile phone. Easy setup and fast satellite locating make this a very reliable unit.
