Garmin 010-00579-00 Mobile 10 GPS Receiver with Bluetooth

    Duration of ownership: 1 Years

    Strengths: Very easy to use, similar to Nuvi standalone GPS. Excellent receiver with long battery life.

    Weaknesses:Need to carry two items for GPS capability: receiver and PDA or laptop.

    Overall Evaluation: I really like this receiver. I tried both the Tomtom Navigator 6 and this Garmin Mobile 10, and they both work very well, but I really like the interface of the Garmin, especially since I have a Nuvi 350 and I am already familiar with it. This is very easy to set up, the only thing that is confusing to me is the unlocking process where you need so many unlock codes, registration codes, serial numbers, but I just inputted them all and it worked. The connection is superb and the GPS finds satellites quickly. It is working flawlessly so far and I really like it. I have only tried it on my Windows Mobile 6 hx2495 PDA, so I can't comment on laptop use (even though I find it difficult to imagine driving while looking at a laptop on a seat).

    Duration of ownership: 1 Years

    Strengths: Bluetooth Receiver, Long Battery Life, Excellent software & maps

    Weaknesses:None

    Overall Evaluation: I have been using this product for over a year now. It has been excellent! I use this on an HP Ipaq hx2415 running Windows Mobile 5. For the price, this is a great add-on to my device. I can easily route to contacts in my address book, or find stores and just about anything I would need. The maps are very accurate, and the easy to use GUI makes the product more enjoyable. On such a small screen as a PDA has, The software makes it easy to find everything that you need with little hassle. The battery life is amazing 20+ Hrs! Included is a car charger, so I don't think there is anywhere you would drain the battery dead. It also includes a belt clip for portable travel. I highly reccommend.

    Strengths: Superb Battery life, good reception, Garmin Software

    Weaknesses:no auto-on

    Overall Evaluation: This is a great Bluetooth GPS package from Garmin for use with PDA & mobile phones. Garmin software is excellent and the maps are the best. plus they update it frequently and it works on Palm as well as windows mobile. SOftware has lots of features, even better than their AIO units like Nuvi. only thing i wish it had was a auto-on feature when the bluetooth device comes in range. hopefully Garmin will add that in a future update.

    Strengths: Relatively fast satellite aquisitionGreat priceWorks just like the Nuvi/Street PilotGarmin Online

    Weaknesses:Very much an "automotive" unit.Some actions not very intuitive.

    Overall Evaluation: Let me say that the free Garmin Online service included in the Mobile XT software is very cool. I know my way to work but I use this thing every day just to get the traffic info from Garmin Online along my route. I'm using the unit and software with my Cingular 8125. I had a few problems getting it to load the bluetooth files but after I did a hard reset the installation worked flawlessly. Works great on the phone in landscape or portrait mode. Also, you can use a bluetooth headset for handsfree call while you are navigating.
