1. I am using this GPS bluetooth reciever with a Dell X30. I am using mapopolis navigator software. I couldn't be hppier with this combination. The accuracy is uncanny. I live in the mountains of NH and have had only minor delays in getting a fix on really snowy days.



2. This GPS unit works great!. I gave 4 stars because it looks like an Europe modal, so you have to use an adapter(comes with it)every time to charge!. I had no problem using this for 8 hours without recharging, it worked great. I used MS-streets software(I think any standard GPS software will work with this). Overall, I am happy. I tried this unit with my laptop, ipaq H1945 and Dell X50. You may want to consider "HP iPAQ Bluetooth GPS Navigation System" if you do not have a software already. It is a similar system with software.

1. I have used five of these now in boat navigation laptops for myself and friends. Very fast lockup, it always has a position before the nav software loads. Very sensitive, while others are having to stick their GPS out side this one is receiving in the cabin. I like the fact it is powered by the USB port and doesn't need a separate battery.

1. This works perfect with my XV6700 and the battery on it lats for ever!
   
   This is worth it, you should buy this if you need a GPS recever



2. I purchased the Holux GPSlim 236 almost two years ago and it still works perfectly. I use it [along with iNav iGuidance software] daily and have never had a moments problem. It sits on the dash of my car all day, every day and continues to amaze me with its performance. It initializes quickly and always has enough satellite coverage to find my location. This poor gps receiver has been ABUSED and never gives up. It has been thrown from my dash more than once [during spirited driving] and it still didn't lose its signal. All in all, one of the better tech purchases I have made.



3. Such a promising device. Worked great with Google Maps on my Blackberry right until the Bluetooth stopped working. Many people seem to have this problem and Holux support is non existent.



4. It works great and I found it having a better signal reception than the TOMTOM original antenna I have.
   The only shortcome is that the antenna doesn't turn itself off automotically when it doesn't receive any blutooth signal after a certain period of time. I mean if you forget to turn the antenna off when you get out your car you risk to down the battery.



5. I've had this gps receiver for over two years. It worked well for about a year. Now the bluetooth transmitter in it doesn't work, and I cannot connect or pair any of my devices with it.
   The bluetooth blue LED doesn't light up, or stays continuously on, instead of flashing intermittently as it's supposed to. If I restart the unit several times, I can sometimes get it to work.
   
   Additionaly, the battery is sensitive to heat. I left it on the dash for a couple of days once, and the battery swelled up, and I could not close the battery lid since.
   
   I'm definitely not buying this unit again.

1. I love this thing. OK - my wife hates that I love it but she doesn't want to give me directions half the time anyway. So she argues with the way it routes sometimes - which can be amusing.
   
   It was an excellent deal for the money at around $200 discounted. The only feature it is lacking is WiFi which I bought an SDIO card from e-bay for. Of course browsing on a PDA is not as great a feature as it seems and when I am using the SDIO card, I don't have my 2GB SD card - oh yeah, you need a larger card to load more than a few states at once. When traveling, it would be nice to have a USB travel charger to connect it to my laptop for power as the included wall wart + cable is a bit annoying to carry around and running out to the car to charge is also a pain.
   
   Not sure about the reviewer complaining about the mount - it is actually a lot better than I would expect but some cleaning of the windshield helps to make it stick better. I haven't had problems with the maps being outdated either although I believe they are [...].
   
   My wife does like to play games on it - mainly the puzzle type so sometimes we fight over it. Support was a bit slow but in the end came through for me.
   
   A few times in the beginning it would crash on long trips but it hasn't crashed in a while - I tell it to backup every now and then just in case. I would not recommend this to a non-technical person looking for a GPS to stay in the car as there are larger, more expensive models for this but for someone looking for a PDA with GPS capability, it is a win-win for less than a cost of either in most cases.



2. I liked Navman pocket PC with GPS. It is simple to use and has enough features for those looking for a pocket pc to store email, contacts and some files. Also good companion while on Road (I named this gadget with my wife name - showing directions while moving)
   
   2 bad things about this product; 1. Maps are old, not sure how to get latest maps. 2. I am still not able to connect to my wireless router (comcast broadband) for internet access.



3. Inexpensive PDA with a bonus - a NAV system.
   
   One big inconvenience: The PDA (yup, Windows based) crashes every time the calendar pops up a reminder for an appointment. Tech supports response: re-boot.
   
   Also, the maps are not the most accurate to the street address level. There are several occasions where the NAV system could leave me a block or two from the true destination. We're talking major city & suburbs, here, not rural.
   
   Lastly, the addresses are clumsy to input. They require a zipcode or township in many cases. It will allow you to choose a destination from your contact list, but that never does well. If the address is not entered EXACTLY as the Navman expects it, you will have to re-enter it in the format Navman wants.
   
   For example,
   123 N. Main St.
   Suite 200
   Anytown, USA 12345
   
   It won't recognize N. Main St.
   You will have to change it to Main and it will give you choices, one of which will be N Main St. You have to choose the item & confirm.
   Then you will have to re-enter the house number & confirm twice.
   
   Cleverly, it offers an opportunity to save the 'revised' address, in my case, without the suite number which is important, and ALL IN CAPS. That shouldn't be a problem, but it then replaces the correct address in Outlook with the incomplete/improper Navman address.
   
   This process could be made much simpler. I hope they put some thought into that.
   
   Again, you get what you pay for.



4. Pros:
   - It was the cheapest PocketPC with GPS in the market when I bought it a year ago.
   
   Cons:
   - no built-in Wi-Fi. Need to buy a SDIO Wi-Fi card for internet access.
   - the GPS signal reception is very poor.
   - The navigation software Navman SmartST doesn't have TTS (Text-To-Speech). For example, it only announces "turn right in 0.1 mile" rather than "turn right on Main Street in 0.1 mile."
   
   I would recommend a GPS with SIRF star III chip for much better signal reception.



5. I like the Navman, for the price, and the features you get. I did find, like the other writer did, that it can take some time to acquire the GPS signal, sometimes. Usually, when it does have a delay, it's like 2 to three minutes. I've never experienced anything close to an hour.
   
   It can be somewhat cumbersome to enter addresses, but, overall, I think it's a great little gadget.
   
   Also, to the writer who stated that the pegs are in the wrong place on the cradle for the unit? Those pegs are actually adjustable, so you can slide them to where you need them.

1. I bought this unit about a month ago. I have been to 5 states and used it often. I can tell you it does better than Tom Tom or Garmin. It recaculates your route MUCH faster than Tom Tom or Garmin.No doubt it has half the points of intrest not been a issue for me. I can't see that i need 6 million points of intrest. It's shows every gas station resturant even small mom and pop food,motels and car rentals & much much more. And at HALF the cost i couldn't be happier. Do your home work before you buy I have seen this unit sold from $149.00-$219.00. If traffic jams are a issue for you look for a bundle package. Navigon WILL charge you $99.00 for the traffic card. Many sellers (here) have the 2100 as a bundle for about $169.00 with the traffic card.Unlike Garmin it's a one time purchase no monthly fee's.
