If you have a Palm, read this before buying this device:

br /Although our SD GPS card should work with Palm OS without a driver as its NMEA-0183 compliant, currently we are not aware of any 3rd-party software that supports our SD GPS card. Based on this I regrettably have to say that at this moment it does not work with Palm OS device. We are currently in the process of developing a Palm OS driver that will allow the device to be used independent of 3rd-party software support. When this becomes available it will be posted on our website.

It seems like the last reviewer forgot that this card doesn't come with any software.it will not work straight out from the box you will need to get a GPS software. It works with my Tungsten T3 using Mapopolis and the add on file from igolf. With the right software this card works just fine for what it is suppose to do! Not having more choices in the current market it's hard to do comparison tho'.
DO NOT BUY THIS

I stubbornly ordered this product to use with my Treo 600 phone full well knowing that i was going to have to get the additional software driver from iGolf to make it work with palm os 5. I consider myself VERY technically savvy (everyone i know asks me to set up their gadgets) and i can not get this thing to work at all.

br /I've tried tech support from both iGolf and Pretec, neither of which has responded to numerous e-mails and phone calls, i've been to the darkest corners of the internet trying to find anyone with similar problems/experiences - nothing.

br /long story short, my Pretec SD GPS card is sitting in a sealed box next to me ready to be returned tomorrow when the mailman arrives...
