How do you use this thing?
I heard good things from this product.

However, I am almost ready to admit that I cannot figure out how to use it. . . I usually get running with a new program quickly; but that is not the case this time.

I have seen dedicated gps navigation devices for around $150. My system, in contrast, counting PDA, memory cards, software, bluetooth enabled GPS extra battery, case; etc. . .set me back by about $700.

I will only recommend this product to somebody that is willing to take a lot of frustration.

OK, but doesn't have a lot of features
I purchased this to be used with my PDA/Phone. I wanted the convenience of only carrying one unit. This serves that purpose. However, it does not have several features you will get in a regular GPS unit. The address gets you to the street, not the driveway like my old Garmin unit. You cannot add waypoints.
For the convenience, it works pretty good.
