The Dell GPS that I bought never guided me anywhere. The first time I used it it worked for about a mile and suddenly stopped reveiving!. They firstreplaced the GPS unit, then the Axim. I uninstalled and reinstalled the software several times, downloaded the new 'updated' software at their advice. I must have spent half my days in the last 12 months worrying and frustrating about this. Finally I have given up.I must admit they tried to put it right, but nothing can compensate for what I think is a fundementally flawed system.

The wires and fiddly connections, you can see in the picture . One can buy a compact satnav that works for the same money. This Dell product is best avoided

I'm still more of a fan of the primitive map and compass method.
