Marketing Information
The Pocket GPS Navigator is the perfect navigation solution for Windows Mobile-based Pocket PCs. Included in this kit is the iGPS-360 convertible receiver with a sync-cable connector with car charger which powers the GPS while charging your Pocket PC simultaneously. The iGPS-360 receiver is a small, slim, and highly sensitive GPS receiver, and is convertible to meet your multi-functional navigation needs (i.e. CF, USB, Bluetooth with optional accessories). The iGPS-360 receiver comes with the cables that connect to the sync-port of your Pocket PC. Includes Ostia, Pharos' award-winning navigation software for Windows Mobile-based Pocket PCs and detailed street-level maps of entire US. With Ostia installed on your Pocket PC, locating your current position, or finding a destination or point of interest (POI) is fast and simple. Routes can be calculated and viewed. Once you're in your vehicle, simply activate the navigation program and begin traveling; the automated voice-prompts will instruct you when and where to turn. If by chance you go "off route," the automated voice will give an off-route warning. Simply push the "Action" button on your Pocket PC and the system will reroute you to your destination from your current position.

Strengths: Hardware is great; fast, accurate, flexible (CF, Bluetooth, cabled), compact.
Summary: I'll keep this short.

The Pharos hardware is great; fast, accurate, flexible (CF, Bluetooth, cabled), compact.

The Ostia software is great; easy to use (love the \"Home\" and \"Auto Re-route\" features), fast, intuitive (after reading the manual to understand the icons).

The Map data… well that is a different story. It is old and inaccurate (missing highways and major streets that have been in place for 5+ years; and yes, I did download their “latest” maps via “Smart Maps”).

Bottom line is I do not trust their maps to get me to where I want to go in a city I do not know. I’ll just use the Pharos hardware with Pocket Streets & Trips or Mapopolis.

So my advice is to just buy their hardware w/o Ostia and get another Navigation Application with reliable map data.
