What an excellent GPS. It's mount holds the palm quite well and it tracks the satellites quickly (as short as 15 seconds). The software could use a few tweaks. But all in all it is easy to use. The quality of the hardware is outstanding and it comes with everything. The car power adapter, the windshield mount and the charger are included. The maps don't take up too much space on the palm. And I like the feature where you can select what items of intrest you want to store on your map. (Banks, Resturants, Hotels, Hospitals Etc.) It helps to keep the maps small.brIf you have a Palm and you travel get a Navman it's a bargan!
Poor instructions leave you on your own...

I purchased this unit based on another reader review, unfortunately, my experience was not as positive as his. To start off, the instructions are very vague, leaving you to figure out how to use the unit. The software, which basically performs all of your mapping functions, is spread out across 4 CDs with little direction, so again, you're on your own to try to figure out how to get a map and directions into your Palm Pilot and working with the GPS. And after waiting for 90 minutes for the unit to lock into a satellite, it never happened. Even standing out in the open with no obstacles. Plus the Palm processor is too slow to correctly run the maps. Save your money is my advice. I have already sent my unit back.
