5.0 out of 5 stars Pharos does it again!, August 23, 2004
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Pharos GPS Receiver with Bluetooth Wireless Technology (Office Product)
This is my third Pharos GPS unit and easily the best. Coupled with my HP tablet and MS Streets and Trips 2004, the unit was up and running less than 5 minutes after ripping the plastic off the box! Yeah, that includes reading the Quick Start Manual.

I wish the software had voice prompts like the Ostia software installed on my PPC, but for speed, accuracy, convenience and price, this is a toy every real man should have! Actually, my wife is my navigator . . . behind every good man . . .

Hope someone comes up with a neat little dash mount for a tablet pc real soon.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great product, June 29, 2006

Apparently Amazon is now the place to share your design opinion even though you don't own the product. Nice. How about next time you comment on something you own? And secondly (And you would know this if you OWNED the product) the GPS receiver is sitting in a bluetooth sled. The sled can be removed and you can hardwire the receiver and use it as a standard GPS mouse.

Anyhow, I've had this product for about 3 months now. Works GREAT with my PDA and mapopolis. I couldn't ask for better battery life, I get on average about 6-7 hours of use before needing a recharge. I would have given 5 stars, but the initial cold acquisition time is a bit longer then it should be. But once the initial acquisition takes place, smooth sailing.
