Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Garmin GPS 10 Deluxe with Bluetooth Technology
Customer Review: GPS 10 - Good Unit With Some Shortcomings
Summary: 4 Stars
The bluetooth GPS device works well. The fact that it is weather resistant and has a strong magnet for holding it on the roof of your car adds to the versatility. However, the plug which weather proofs the connector socket when it is not being charged is not attached and very easy to lose. Also, the software for use with PDAs and phones does not allow you to plan a trip on your desktop or laptop and then download routes and waypoints to the phone. With that caveat, overall operation is excellent.
Customer Review: Fun to Use - Difficult to set up
Summary: 4 Stars
The only trouble is using the software on the CD which came with the unit. It would not properly interface with my "Windows Mobile" handheld. However, after contacting Garmin the had an updated download available from their web site.
Now it works great. Very good battery life and very fasst satellite aquisition. Unfortunately, my wife does not like the voice commands - its hard to make everyone happy!
I recommend it.
Customer Review: Great Bluetooth GPS Receiver
Summary: 4 Stars
We were very pleased when we used this unit on our vacation along with DeLorme map software on our laptop. It provided a more consistent signal than the DeLorme GPS receiver. The only improvement that I would make: make it rechargable battery powered to eliminate the additional power cord. The Garmin software is more limited so I would suggest either DeLorme or Microsoft mapping software if using on a laptop.Customer Review: Works just as advertised
Summary: 5 Stars
I am extremely happy with this GPS device and software. I use it with my HP IPAQ 2795 and they work great together. I have used it about a dozen times now and I have had no problem with the GPS. (The pocket PC has a few quirks,though no fault of the Garmin software.) The software was easy to install and setup and the user interface of the Garmin Que software is very good. Thumbs up for this product Garmin!Customer Review: Very good alternative to a stand alone unit.
Summary: 5 Stars
I have been using this GPS receiver with my iPAQ rx3115 and I'm satisfied with the results.
It might be a little tricky sometimes when you power off / on the iPAQ as I need to reconnect the PDA to the GPS manually (through the Bluetooth device manager menu), but once you know this, there is no problem.
Maybe this can be avoided somehow, but I haven't had the chance to investigate.
