Don't Buy this at any price

 

Don't Buy this at any price

The software often picks route 100's of miles out of the way for no reason. You cannot pick your own route at all. The Navman 12v connector is VERY weak. Mine broke within a few days. The GPS pulls the Palm's battery down in no time at all - 2 or 3...

GPS great / Software terrible

4 stars since the included SW is so terrible. I bought "Delorme Street Atlas USA 2004 Handheld" to run on my M125. Works great. Navman does tend to eat batteries, but what Palm add-on doesn't. Original SW was so bad, it couldn't catch up driving down...

I think this is fantastic! The only down side that I can think of is having to upload your trips beforehand. But that is a limitation of the handheld, not this device. I took a trip from Upstate NY through Philly to the Jerey shore. And back. Another...

I ordered Navman GPS for Palm m130. I received it but the manual doesn't say anything about the compatibility with m130. I opened the item to see whether it works with my m130. It doesn't work. I am in San Jose and have put this in my car and I travel...

For what it is designed to do, it seems okay

I bought this attachment to my new Palm in an attempt to help out with road navigation while driving to geocaches in locales unknown to me. The software included really only gives directions from one street address to another. I can't get a) my...
