This unit came with Streets & Trips 2009 and failed in less than 60 days. Pharos is replacing it with a new one under warranty but will only give a 30 day warranty on the replacement GPS. The original had a 1 year warranty. from Amazon.com Pharos GPS-500 and Bluetooth Connector - These are nice additions to my HP iPaq 2495 PDA. I did have some trouble installing it initially, but once the bugs were worked out, it tested fine and was able to pinpoint my location within a few feet. from Amazon.com My first GPS receiver developed problems after about 5 years of constant use. I replaced it with this newer receiver and it works great. from Amazon.com proscompactmoderatly easy to useacuaratereasonably priced from Dell.com I bought it from Amazon. When using in Microsoft's Streets & Trips 2007, it took a very very long time to find satellite signal (I am in Chicago) outdoors. from Amazon.com I needed a GPS solution that didn't break the bank. After using a Garmin while on vacation, once, I had fallen in love with the concept. from Amazon.com It took about 5 minuets to set this up to run with MS street and trip ( i am using 2006). it was so easy i thought there is something wrong. from Amazon.com My first GPS receiver developed problems after about 5 years of constant use.
