As far as the product goes - this is incredible. Imagine something the size of a credit card and 1/4 inch thick being able to be tracked by a satellite. My Ipaq 2215 bonded quickly and effortlessly with this receiver - it was so easy to set up.

This was my first gps purchase, so obviously I had many questions. You have to register the product to ask a question via email and two weeks later - I still haven't received a reply to my questions.

For $150 more you can buy the nav pack - which the only difference is you get the software. I originally bought that but the maps weren't up-to-date so I returned it and bought this. I use MS MapPoint 2004 as my mapping software now and it works great.

Absolutely great! After charging the unit I turned it on to do a device discovery from my Ipaq 3970, that was it no other setup was needed (not even bonding like the manual says). I found that it was locked onto 8 Satellites inside the house and at least 20ft from any window. I would suggest this receiver to anyone.

Very nice product! Catches the satellites signals very quickly. I tried with iPAQ 5455 and 3955+Ambicom BT card and Pharos Ostia navigation system. Works perfectly fine. I am very happy with the product.

This product delivers exactly what it's advertised to do. I'm a Mac person and found it to be compatible with all of the available software (Route 66 for example). The Bluetooth implementation likewise is very compatible with OS X. One thing to be careful about is to follow the serial port setup advice (see www.66.com support notes for a clean procedure to get it working).
