Strengths: slim CF receiver size and adding the external antenna for better signals while driving. Weaknesses: The route calculation needs a bit of tweaking since it seems to favor the highway a lot more Summary: It’d be nice to have Outlook integration for those folks who sync their contacts with the Pocket PCs. It would have been great if the navigation software supported Windows CE .NET to work with the GPS 78% of People (7/9) found this review helpful. Was this review helpful or unhelpful for you?

old_cotton from NY Member Since: Jul 2004 View Member's: Reviews Product Experience: 5 Days	An affordable GPS for PDA and Laptop users Strengths: Great price. With CF to PCMCIA adapter. Weaknesses: No map software Summary: I bought this GPS at a very great price (less than $20 after rebate). Its old description doesn't mention whether it's compatible with WM5 or not. However, when I receive the package, I noticed that it clearly says WM5 compatible in the box. It comes with a external antenna and a PCMCIA adapter. So I don't need to buy an adapter to use it in my laptop. It works like a charm in my laptop with Microsoft Microsoft Streets & Trips 2007. It found the satellites within 20 seconds. For the price I'm happy with it. Recommend to low budget buyers! Was this review helpful or unhelpful for you? Report this as inappropriate. There are no comments for this review. Post a comment.

andriy_kot from VA Member Since: Feb 2004 View Member's: Reviews Product Experience: 4 Days	Worth its price Strengths: Cheap!!! No compatibility issues. Small and light. Free external antenna. Low power consumption. WAAS enabled. Weaknesses: Only 12 satellites. Not very sensitive. Software not included. Summary: Despite the receiver being not very sensitive I find it well worth its price (I got it for $27 after rebates). Don't get me wrong, it performs good in the open and with antenna it performs good everywhere. However, in a city without the antenna (as when you walk) it fails miserably. It works very nice with TomTom6 and even better with iGuidance4 (somehow it locks faster from under iGuidance from both cold and warm start). It also works nice with GoogleMaps over WiFi link near my house. I tested it with Axim x50v and it seems the receiver drains very little power. I got the same time from the battery as when reading ebooks. All in all in is very nice for the price especially since there is very few CF receivers available in this price range. -- I have used it for 4 days since I received it thus I cannot comment on durability, I will post my thoughts in a month or though.

Aleron Member Since: Jan 2007 View Member's: Reviews Product Experience: 10 Days	GPS-CF review Strengths: good compact slim size Weaknesses: it is seeking signals too slow Summary: I've ordered it at Amazon.com, and it arrived quickly and in nice condition. It is working great with my iPAQ 2755. I'd recomend others to purchase this product, because it is inexpensive with good quality. Was this review helpful or unhelpful for you?
