After purchasing a Pocket PC (HP hx4700) mainly for use as a calender assistant and portable web browsing device, I soon discovered that it could also be used as a portable Sat Nav device as well, allowing applications such as Tomtom to be uploaded onto it, and for those who are interested in light aircraft flying, like me, memory map is fantastic aviation GPS program which can be used on using actual CAA aviation maps with GPS data overlay for flight planning and tracking purposes. The one extra hardware add-on which is needed to allow tomtom and memory map to function is a GPS receiver device. I had previously purchased a Compact Flash card extension GPS receiver which plugged into the Pocket PC's existing ports directly, unfortunately, it was very poor at satellite tracking and position locking, taking several minutes to lock-on to ...

A slim GPS Receiver that connect to your device using 'Bluetooth' a handy product that will enable your smartphone or windows mobile phone to connect to the GPS satalite network for trip guidence and other similar sat-nav tasks.

Well, I never imagined a cable like this could add so much functionality adn interest to a simple navigational item. The potential of a Garmin is enormous even without the PC interface but once you have this cable it really does help the GPS unit and PC/laptop to come alive together as they work in unison. With the right mapping software the world is your oyster as you are enabled to upload, download and track where you want to go, are going or have already been. Software enables all kinds of mapping including some 3D modeling and can therefore even help you plan some amazing complicated routes in highland areas. In addition to all of this, if you?re happy to run a laptop in the car then the fact that you can track liev means that you acn almost use it as a sat nav system.
Overall, highly recommended... ...
