1.0 out of 5 stars Just buy a real GPS......., November 29, 2000

By	D. Thomas "geekforhire" (Huntington Beach, CA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I can not even tell you how disappointed I am in it. It isreally hard to see how anyone would sell this as a finishedproduct. It takes 5 minutes to pickup a signal, then it looses thesignal if you move around. As a bonus,... I sent mine back and got aGarmin eTrex from Amazon to connect to my Visor Deluxe.....not as tinybut it actually works. The HandyGPS is just not suitable for any realusage. I mean, it wont even work in a car! Come on! END

1.0 out of 5 stars Total waste of money, December 1, 2000

By	M. Johnson (Harrisburg, PA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I also had nothing but problems. Could not maintain a lock to track position even while walking around my yard, forget about moving around in a car. It simply devoured my Visor's batteries. Took 5 minutes to even get a lock to track position which was immediately lost when I moved. Their customer service at the manufacturer was non-existent, they would refund the cost of the unit but not the $... shipping. Even argued that it was not defective as they has "tested" it when it came back to them. Do yourself a favor and wait for the next GPS module to come out.

1.0 out of 5 stars Another product return, November 30, 2000

By	Richard McGuire "rick-mcguire" (Boston, MA USA) - See all my reviews

I'm in the process of sending mine back now. My luck wasn't even as good as the previous reviewer's. After over an hour of trying, I still haven't even managed to establish contact with a single satellite. Nexian support has been essentially worthless, just telling me it takes "3-5 minutes, and I must be in open air and not near any buildings". I live in a city and travel to a lot of cities on business. A GPS unit that won't function in an urban setting is of no value to me.
