Kirrio/ViaMichelin Bluetooth GPS Kit v3.0 - Convert Your PDA into a Sat

 Customer
Review: Don't leave home without it
I got this around April 06 for my Palm TX, and it's practically
eliminated the in car spats about map reading and getting lost. I've
used it between Norfolk, Suffolk, London and Cambridgeshire. One of the
Best gadgets I ever bought. It integrates with the address book on the
PDA, accepts 4 digits of the postal code. Due to the date of the maps
some of the directions are slightly out of date but it always got us
where we want to go. In instances where the street or post code didn't
show up, I've used the map function and zoom/panned around to find a
nearby street to get me close to the area. We have had the software
crash en-route and the receiver being Sirf II sometimes struggled with
signals but each time it got us there.
Customer Review: Using with Palm Tungsten E2
If the problems could be resolved this would be very good.But downsides
are so major hence 1 star. On journeys over 100 miles the unit will
crash displaying a memory problem (even if nothing else is stored on the
pda), therefore you need a rough idea of your route to split the journey
up. On journeys over about 70 miles it will work but needs restarting 3
times at 15 sec intervals as it jumps back to the bluetooth page. When a
long tunnel is encountered it will sensibly predict your progress for
about 20seconds but if you are not out of it by then it will jump to
bluetooth page and crash. If you pull off a mapped area, eg into a
supermarket carpark or drive on a modified road junction the unit will
crash. Major complex junctions can sometimes cause the unit to crash -
just when you need it most. Dead ends cause 'no path possible' to be
displayed then wild flashing before it crashes. Each time it crashes the
pda must be removed from the holder and the soft reset button pressed
with a ballpoint, then restarted and reprogrammed. Which is genuinely
very dangerous on the move so if you don't have a passenger you need to
pull over somewhere safe; difficult on a motorway. Pro's are good route
re- calcualtion and sensible routes are normally selected.
