Has anyone had experience with this yet?

Looks like HP has a bluetooth based GPS/navigation software system for the iPaq. At first check, it looks pretty nice...the interface reminds me a lot of the MDX's (the user manual is online as a PDF, and includes snaps of the major screens). Auto reroute and all, includes car adapter and mount...and eCost has it for $286. Biggest concern is they are fuzzy in that Honda kind of way about when updates will be available...
Anyone have one? I think we may get it for my wife's CR-V... |

| ...FYI, doing some more "digging", the screens look similar to those with the Navman SmartST Pro software... :confused: |

Actually...This device is great as an extension for the HP iPAQ Pocket PC to use as a mobile NAVIGATION system.
I bought an HP iPAQ Pocket PC with this Navigation extention and the solution is AMAZING!!!!
I used it in my TOURING MDX and on other vehicle with NON-NAVIGATION. It worlks extremely well!
Because my HP iPAQ 5555 runs on Mobile Windows 2003 and the color screen is the non-reflective screen...The color and enhancement of the map is INCREDIBLE!!! |

I also have an Ipaq, 3955 with pocket copilot system on it. I love it! I have a windshield mount that I use in my van (till sold, then mdx) Great screen, you have voice directions on it. We have traveled cross country and used it. We had a tire blowout in the middle of nowhere Texas and I was able to tell repair people exactly where we were. I am not buying a MDX with nav because I like my system and I can take it to different cars.
And if you use outlook, you can use the address book to get directions to those also.

| I too have the copilot sleve for my Ipaq. I have been useing it for about 2 1/2 years and it is a huge help. Makes it hard to justify $2k for a DVD based in car nav system when you can take the copilot with you in any car i.e. rental, personal etc. |
