Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Garmin GPS 10 Deluxe with Bluetooth Technology
Customer Review: Nice unit
Summary: 4 Stars
This GPS unit is very nice and simple. The unit actually arrived DOA aka broken but Garmin technical support was very helpful and was prompt to turn me around a new working unit (I think the defective one was just a fluke). I will mention that Garmin has limited support for using a computers built in Bluetooth with this GPS unit. I ended up having to purchase a cheap external usb bluetooth dongle to make it work with my PC. The unit pairs and works fine with the bluetooth built into my Blackberry Curve (T-Mobile version) however. The precision of the unit is very good for the price point, being WAAS enabled the unit returns a quite accurate location. All in all a very nice device.
Customer Review: Works great - but steep learning curve
Summary: 4 Stars
I purchased the GPS10 to use with my HP2495 PDA. The GPS technology is great - and still borders on magic - but the setup and use of the Mapsource software that's included with the receiver is a little difficult (at least for a guy like me who hates to read the instructions). Once you get it all figured out and configured correctly, the system does work as advertised. I just completed a trip from OKC to Dallas and I located a half dozen addresses all around the DFW Metroplex with no problem. I would like to see some kind of a battery status indicator on the receiver but since I run mine off my car's power outlet all of the time I guess that it doesn't matter.Customer Review: Garmin quality....

Note When I ordered this, Amazon had the descriptions switched for two similar products. One comes with software, the other does not. The more expensive one comes with software.
I am using this with my HP IPaq PDA without problems. Routing is very accurate. The software is good and the find feature is like having the yellow pages in your hand as you can search companies, services etc and get their phine number as well as their address...
Product suggestion, make a small recess to keep the rubber plug that closes the power socket when not in use...
Customer Review: 50/50 on the software/hardware combination
Summary: 3 Stars
Advantage:
The GPS software is little hard to use because of all the features. But one you master it, the positive greater than the negative.
The battery does last for long time. At least you can use it for 12 hour of driving.
Disadvantage:
Non-removable battery.
Software can only use with GPS10 and GPS10 only
Whenever you run iQue as map only, it away search of GPS10 even when you don't want to use GPS10. Very annoying. Can find a way to turn it off until it timeout.
Customer Review: Great!

This thing is awesome!! And now that it comes with Garmin Mobile XT, it is even better.
Mine came with an old version of Garmin's software, but the upgrade to XT was free. Now my PDA detects the receiver automatically and easily. In a couple of trips to Dallas/Ft. Worth, Longview, Chicago, and California...this thing has definitely paid for itself!
I'm so surprised that these things can be so precise.
...and keep the charger hole cover in a safe place. Even then, you will lose it.
