Product Description

Pharos, the leader in award-winning portable navigation solutions for Windows Mobile-powered devices, has created the ultimate productivity tool for the Pocket PC. The Pocket GPS Navigator allows you to create door-to-door routes anywhere in the country using turn-by-turn voice prompts to guide your to your destination. The "Best of Innovations" award-winning iGPS-360 convertible receiver is the smallest, highly sensitive GPS receiver available today, and it is convertible to meet your muti-functional navigation needs (i.e. - connects via CompactFlash, PCMCIA, USB and Bluetooth with optional accessories). This convertible design allows you to interchange between Pocket PC and Notebook use, as well as allows you the freedom to upgrade to a new device without losing your GPS investment. Ostia, Pharos' award-winning navigation software for Windows Mobile-based Pocket PCs provides detailed street-level US maps and voice navigation. With Ostia installed on your Pocket PC, locating your current position, or finding a destination or point of interest (POI) is fast and simple. Routes can be calculated and viewed. Once you're in your vehicle, simply activate the navigation program and begin traveling; the automated voice-prompts will instruct you when and where to turn. If by chance you go "off route," the automated voice will give an off-route warning. Simply push the "Action" button on your unit and the system will reroute you to your destination from your current position.

I always regreted not getting a navigation system for my car.

Well I own a Dell AXIM 30 and saw this Pharos unit, I figured the price was right. The unit is pretty user friendly the only problem is getting lock through the windshield, I got around this by placing the patch antenna between my moonroof and the inner cover (to hold it in place).

I made two trips this weekend in excess of 100 miles each way, these trips were to familier destinations. The unit was fairly flawless, when getting close to the destination the unit told me to go in a direction that was slightly longer, I deviated from the units directions and went my own way. The unit told me I was off course and kept offering alternate routing.

All in all I would buy this unit again.

A must for a Dell Axim, it makes purchase of one worthwhile, despite the alternate units (cell phone/pda combos) available. A real kick to have in the car, but with Axim, you need to have pretty good hearing to discern the verbal directions. Nice color maps; it has continually surprised with its versatility and utility.
