4.0 out of 5 stars Only good because it works with good software for Palms / Treos, January 4, 2007

The GPS10 is a pretty basic piece of equipment. It doesn't have the latest GPS chipset known as SIRF Star3. So the reception isn't great and it's pretty slow at getting satellites.

But, if you want to use Garmin Software (iQue) on your Treo or Palm, it's the only choice you have. Garmin software uses a proprietary protocol that can only "talk" with Garmin GPSs.

Another feature on the good side is that the unit is a magnet that you can simply put on the roof of your car and it doesn't budge. The range for bluetooth is more than 15ft so it still works perfectly.

So, if you have a Palm or Treo and the GPS10X still isn't out, it's a pretty good choice.

I tried about 8 different GPS units. All varying in size, purpose, etc and decided on this unit. I finally decided on the GPS10. It connected easily to my BlueTooth enabled PDA. The software is perfect. The GPS travels with me easily across the country . . . it even helped me find the Rainbow Bridge at Lake Powell. If you already have a PDA, this unit is perfect, compact, and reliable.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Unit -- Second time around, July 31, 2006

I own quite a bit of Garmin equipment, so the purchase decision was pretty simple. The unit arrived and was simple to use and worked exactly as expected. Until the third use. It went MIA. Wouldn't charge, no lights, no blue tooth, etc.

I ordered a replacement and it has been working great for 4 months now. I believe this was a very isolated incident, as I believe Garmin's quality to be quite high.

I use the device to interface with Microsoft Streets & Trips running on my tablet PC via blue tooth.
