MPN: PK032
Strengths: Works fantastic even in rural areas. Accurate and a pleasure to utilize.
Weakness: Maps are large files...but i'm using a SD card and load them all to that area with no problems at all.
I've had this product for 4 days and can definitely say that I am thrilled with my purchase. The gps is even better than expected and works great with my IPAQ 2215. I live in a rural area and it even tells me when to make a turn going out of my own driveway. A wonderful gadget. I just wish I had purchased it sooner. I can wait to use it this weekend for a trip out of state.

TopStrengths: GPS works very well, generally very easy to use.
Weakness: Sometimes difficult to locate addresses, some local roads are not on the maps.
Setup of the software and GPS receiver was very easy and relatively quick (loading the large maps on the SD card took a while, but was completed without user intervention after selecting which maps to transfer). Locating an address is fairly quick, but it is suggested you use the Favorites list for your often-used destinations. GPS receiver initializes very quickly and gets great reception on the dash. Great addition if you already have the PDA. Looking forward to use this in some unfamiliar areas to see how it performs.

Pharos Pocket GPS Navigator iPAQ
Strengths: It's really easy to use. It has lots of features including the Smart Navigator real-time traffic service which is perfect to use in big cities.
Weakness: The low price made me a little unsure about the performance before I bought it, but now that I've tried and added on the Bluetooth, I absolutely love it.
I really like the convertible design of the GPS. I originally bought the version with a cable that is powered by the cigarette lighter, but then I added the Bluetooth adapter for when I need a portable GPS. The receiver picks up satelittes almost instantaneously, so I don't have to sit and wait for it to acquire a signal. It's definitely a handy tool for anyone on the road. I'd highly recommend this product.
