I purchased this receiver quite a while ago. The receiver itself works great, syncing to my pda phone via bluetooth with no problems. from Amazon.com This was my first GPS receiver, I was amazed by the accuracy this thing can provide. The reason I bought this is that I'm a long time Palm PDA user and have several Palms. from Amazon.com This was my first GPS receiver, I was amazed by the accuracy this thing can provide. The reason I bought this is that I'm a long time Palm PDA user and have several Palms. from Amazon.com I bought this back when I had a Palm T3 and it was my first GPS driving aid. As such, it wasn't half bad, though the software was a bit of a pain when entering addresses and sometimes it would pick some rather odd routes for me to follow. from Amazon.com For me, installation wasn't as hard as the other reviewers made it out to be. The GPS unit actually works well, it pairs well with my Tungsten T3 using Bluetooth, and the map displays are all gorgeous. But I am really beginning to hate a few things: 1) finding addresses goes through a really inefficient, awkward menus; 2) there's no way to automatically pull up addresses in your Palm address book; 3) it doesn't automatically restart the GPS connection if you turn the Palm off and back on, and are back in SmartST; 4) it crashes my Palm occasionally, requiring a *hard* restart (thank goodness I have a backup card); 5) the unit holding the Palm tends to unclip from the window suction unit when the road gets bumpy, and it falls off while I'm driving. from Amazon.com For me, installation wasn't as hard as the other reviewers made it out to be.

I ended up installing Mapopolis software and have been using it for over 6 months. The Navman works perfectly with Mapopolis on my T5. The receiver is very small and sits on my car dashboard. from Amazon.com I tried many times to get the software to work but it didn't.

Removed and re-installed - now I am getting GP02 GPS errors - go figure!! All in all, I had this product for 48 hours from the time I received it in the mail to the time I put it in the return package to the store. from Amazon.com Applied their patch - now it freezes if I try to start it! 5.
