Product Description At last - no more cables, plugin receivers, and paper maps! Now you can add full GPS navigation capabilities to your Pocket PC or PC laptop with the Garmin GPS 10, a Bluetooth -enabled wireless GPS receiver.
GPS receiver for Palm PDAMay 12, 2007 I use this the Garmin GPS 10 in combination with a Palm Tungsten T5 for car-navigation. The bluetooth interface works well. It sometimes takes a few minutes before the receiver can determine the GPS-position.

Do not waste your time with this product instead...
The only pro. that product has over mobile 10 is the magnetic mount capability...
Only good because it works with good software for Palms / TreosJanuary 4, 2007 8 out of 8 found this review helpful
The GPS10 is a pretty basic piece of equipment. It doesn't have the latest GPS chipset known as SIRF Star3. So the reception isn't great and it's pretty slow at getting satellites.
But, if you want to use Garmin Software (iQue) on your Treo or Palm, it's the only choice you have. Garmin software uses a proprietary protocol that can only "talk" with Garmin GPSs.
Another feature on the good side is that the unit is a magnet that you can simply put on the roof of your car and it doesn't budge. The range for bluetooth is more than 15ft so it still works perfectly.
So, if you have a Palm or Treo and the GPS10X still isn't out, it's a pretty good choice.

The manual says THIS PRODUCT, ITS PACKAGING AND ITS COMPONENTS CONTAIN ONE OR MORE CHEMICALS KNOWN TO THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA TO CAUSE CANCER, BIRTH DEFECTS OR REPRODUCTIVE HARM. Garmin fails to advertise this on their website. You gotta buy this product to find out afterwards.

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.
