Garmin GPS 10

Pros: Excellent integration of hardware with 5 separate robust applications and map database

Cons: Many minor weaknesses in the software feature set

The Bottom Line: Consider buying this as an inexpensive, highly portable alternative to a stand-alone dedicated GPS for your car if you have a Palm or Pocket PC PDA.

Review: I wanted a simple, inexpensive way to add GPS functions to my Palm Treo 650 phone/PDA, and the GPS 10 Bluetooth receiver + Garmin's Que software seemed to fit the bill. For me, this setup was preferable to a stand-alone GPS unit for the car since I ...

Pros: Great maps, great GPS reception, easy to use software that is POWERFUL and full featured.

Cons: Lack of bundled mounts... But, you aren't forced to buy mounts that aren't needed.

The Bottom Line: Garmin is tops in the PocketPC GPS market. It's easy to use, powerful, flexible, and intuitive. Two thumbs WAY up!

Review: I recently decided to get a GPS solution for my car. I'm a computer consultant, so I travel a lot. I used to use Microsoft Streets and Trips to create a map of where I was going that day, but, there isn't exactly any easy way to flexibly change the order ...

Pros: Amazing: never get lost again! Works like a charm!

Cons: Small Buttons on PDA difficult while driving. Other Maps for the world are expensive.

The Bottom Line: Easy to use and learn to trust it- it will get you where you want to go.

Review: A friend of mine had a Garmin Street Pilot 2610 in his car and I had found it to be amazing in its features and definitely very useful for someone that travels a lot like I do. I got lost in Ottawa a few weeks thereafter and could not get to a business ...

Pros: Compact, lightweight, excellent navigational too - Nationwide

Cons: The Learning Curve is high - takes a while to figure this gizmo out.

The Bottom Line: Great navigational too. This is my trainer and I will scout around for a bigger size model and one with a larger and color screen.

Review: Just moved to LA and was literally overwhelmed with the driving and how big this place is. Maps are useless and inches thick. I used MAPQUEST constantly even to get to the stores. If only I could get mapquest in my car...... Then I was turned on to ...

Pros: All the capability of the E Trex plus sufficient map storage. Low price.

Cons: Non-captive battery cover. Should COME WITH optional soft plastic case/cover. Won't work in dense woods.

Review: UPDATE: This unit is out of production. It connects with a serial cord, seems like Garmin is all USB now.I had to buy a Belkin serial/USB adapter to continue programmiing this unit with my new laptop. I have several pieces of Garmin GPS equipment, and ...

Pros: Accurate, easy to use, voice prompts, local information, good battery life

Cons: Possible software compatibility issues leading to my PDA freezing on some occasions

The Bottom Line: This is a very good product, reasonably priced. I use it constantly- this is a great enhancement to any bluetooth PDA.

Review: I've now been using this GPS with my iPAQ for 8 months, and have an update to my original review. Update: Some issues have become apparent. I'm not sure if they have to do with my PDA, or with the Garmin software or some combination. 1. My iPAQ ...

Pros: Memory chip upgrades, up to 128mb Big screen

Cons: Serial interface, no USB Battery drain during map transfer

The Bottom Line: Appreciate the big viewing area, upgrade the memory to 64mb, and this thing is still a big contender.

Review: I have been using garmin GPS systems for auto navigation since 1996, and that's prior to having maps on the screen. I've had the Garmin emap for almost six years, and it has never once failed me when used in an area with an unobstructed view of the sky. ...
