Quick Background:
I have been using the Pharos GPS kit for the Dell Axim x3i. When I upgraded to an Axim x50v I wanted to continue using the GPS software, and Pharos offered this adapter that would work since the x50v has a compact flash slot.

Pros:
-Does exactly what it's supposed to do. Allowed me to use the kit I already owned.
-Allows the GPS to work without being plugged into power. I am no longer tied to the car - I can walk/bike/whatever around with my GPS.
-Includes an extension cable so I can stick the receiver on the windshield.

Cons:
-Not much room for improvement with an adapter, but do wish it were a little less expensive. I don't think adapters in general should cost more than $25.

I think it works great. The only problem is that everytime you restart your PDA, it needs to be reset (the GPS connection) needs to be reset thru the tools->GPS options->Auto detect.
Its a 5min process, but it works great after that.

I would say, if you have the patience, its not a bad product.
