Finds quick, lasts short. Ok for little money
Review of Holux GR-231 - GPS receiver module GR-231 12 channel by Hornmaster

Advantages: cheap, works with all devices
Disadvantages: battery life, design

This product, I bought for usage with my windows mobile T-mobile XDA. It works how it sould, but it has one big downside: The power consumption is definetly much too high. I can hardly go on a trip for more the 200 miles without having a possibility to charge. Because I can't sand cables and wires, the rechargeable battery is the onl yagument for me. Actually, the other functions and basic funtionality, tracking the GPS signal are quiete good. I ...
...lasts longer. But in terms of accuracy and ease of use, it's exactly the same. The dimensions are rather ok, although in those times when the product was new, it was almost a micro-tool. So it's hard to say if I can recommend it. Maybe not. It's cheap already, but it offers not the best services. So you have to decide if you can live with a device that needs to go to the power plug every 4 to 5 hours to the charger ... Read review

Great GPS
Review of TomTom ONE 3rd Edition - GPS receiver 3rd Edition GPS receiver by lindybrasher

Advantages: Small, Easy to use
Disadvantages: none

I have a friend that loves this GPS. He will not go anywhere without it. He continues to try to get me to buy one and even said he would buy another just so I could have his. He is impressed with its ability to get you anywhere and he says that he has not had one problem with it. If you take a wrong turn due to your mistake then it will get you right back on track. I have seen this product mounted in his car and it is not too big or too small. You ... Read review

Some flaws
Review of Garmin nüvi 760 - GPS receiver 760 GPS receiver by lindybrasher

Advantages: Small and worth the price
Disadvantages: Routes chosen

A friend of mine has this GPS system. He does like it and I find that it is actually pretty useful. The only thing that I do not like about it is that it does not take you on the same route back that you went in on. This confuses me and worries me that I am being taken in the wrong direction. It does try to take you on the shortest path but sometimes this is not the fastest path. It may take you through the center of town rather than down an interstate ... Read review

Excellent GPS
Review of TomTom GO 720 - GPS receiver 720 GPS receiver by bboothe83

Advantages: Big Widescreen, Easy to use Controls, Stylish
Disadvantages: Price

...had been looking at the TomTom One, but his unit has much more to offer. It has a bigger widescreen for easy viewing. This really helps when you are trying to look at maps while driving. I have been to some very far out "off the map" places, and this thing has always updated correctly to show exactly where you are and the best route to reach your destination. This unit is a little higher than the TonTom One, but it is well worth it due to the extra ... Read review
