Advantages: batttery, sat nav Disadvantages: buttons
Sat Nav in your car is a bit like Air Con; if you've haven't got it you probably won't miss it, but once you've had it - you can never do without it.
And so it was when I changed jobs, handed back the company car and got my own set of wheels. I didn't want to pay the extortionate amount requested by the dealer for it to be fitted as standard and so opted to make fullest use of my iPaq 3850 and purchased this product from the gps warehouse - £290 inc VAT.
The software loaded easily via the activesync connection, which you must have to complete the task and comes with your iPaq anyway, and I loaded the maps onto a 128Mb smart disk I had previously used for storing some music files.

The GPS receiver is GLOBALSAT BU353 SIRFSTAR III USB GPS RECEIVER, bundle with PC Navigator 8 from Easydevices.co.uk
The receiver has its own software (GPSinfo) and after installation the receiver plugged in to the USB port, and soon found the available satallites displayed on the GPSinfo software.
Next I installed the PC Navigator 8 software. I was please to find the package easy to use, and was soon on the road testing the setup, which worked seamlessly. All the software and hardware are all very capable. The large 7 inch display of the EEE is more than adequate.
