Description:
The Pocket GPS Navigator is the perfect navigation solution for Windows Mobile-based Pocket PCs. Included in this kit is the iGPS-360 convertible receiver with a sync-cable connector and car charger which powers the GPS while charging your Pocket PC simultaneously. The iGPS-360 receiver is a small, slim, and highly sensitive GPS receiver, and is convertible to meet your muti-functional navigation needs (i.e. CF, USB, Bluetooth with optional accessories).The iGPS-360 receiver comes with the cables that connect to the sync-port of your Pocket PC. Includes Ostia, Pharos' award-winning navigation software for Windows Mobile-based Pocket PCs and detailed street-level maps (of entire US or Canada). With Ostia installed on your Pocket PC, locating your current position, or finding a destination or point of interest (POI) is fast and simple. Routes can be calculated and viewed. Once you're in your vehicle, simply activate the navigation program and begin traveling; the automated voice-prompts will instruct you when and where to turn. If by chance you go "off route, " the automated voice will give an off-route warning. Simply push the "Action" button on your Pocket PC and the system will reroute you to your destination from your current position.Get more product details from Amazon

Thanks for your feedback
Bought this as I already had the PDA, and thought it would be cheaper than getting a complete GPS system. It was, and overall the product works fine. I had a little problem with SW compatibility, but 1 call to Pharos worked it out. When comparing to a Magellan system, the graphics aren't as good, the directions aren't quite as detailed, but it gets me where I want to go. Don't buy a supported PDA just to get this system, but if you've already got it, this is a good low cast way to get a useable GPS. Do note, however, that it will only work in the car. Unless you rig up some fancy custom battery pack, you can't use it as a handheld unit.
