5.0 out of 5 stars for the price you can;t go wrong, October 9, 2007

It took about 5 minuets to set this up to run with MS street and trip ( i am using 2006). it was so easy i thought there is something wrong. it has more features than i Knew, like Altitude( beside Latitude and longitude) gives you the speed that you are traveling( it matched the digital speedometer)also its very small. the only thing that i wish it had is to reconfigure the route if you miss an exit, it just says "off route" beside that its flawless.

4.0 out of 5 stars Nice Addition to HP iPaq PDA, June 6, 2008

Pharos GPS-500 and Bluetooth Connector - These are nice additions to my HP iPaq 2495 PDA. I did have some trouble installing it initially, but once the bugs were worked out, it tested fine and was able to pinpoint my location within a few feet.

I am using Mobile Google Earth for the mapping with the PDA; since its a PDA and not a smart-phone, I access the Internet with my PDA using my Motorolla Razr as a modem and it's bluetooth connection [to the PDA]. The GPS unit with the Bluetooth connection works well.

I would recommend this for persons wanting to connect their PDA's to a GPS unit. Those users must understand that most of the new mapping technology requires an Internet connection with your PDA because Microsoft Streets & Trips doesn't exist for PDA's anymore. Microsoft Live Search and Mobile Google Maps require the Internet connection for their maps; this requires less space on your PDA, but you need Internet connection for your service.

Good Product.

4.0 out of 5 stars Got Microsoft OEM instead of Actual Pharos Label, April 19, 2011

Although the product is, I suspect identical, i was disappointed in that I received a product with the Microsoft label on it instead of the Pharos label which I had purchased. It all works fine BUT I was not expecting it to be OEM from microsoft.
The picture shows it as PHAROS labeled.
