Average Rating:
Rating: - bad product, bad service
Originally I want to have this GPS working with my notebook. After two RMAs and long hours w/ the support, I still could not get them to work with my two notebooks. They refused to refund also.Bad service and bad product. Do not buy.
Rating: - DOES NOT WORK WITH POcket PC / WM 5.0
STAY AWAY IF YOU INTEND TO USE WITH A POCKET PC. It will not work on Windows Mobile 5.0, and IOGear knows it. It will slow your device to a crawl. I use a powerful Dell Axim x51 (fastest processor availabel and lots of RAM). They said they would patch it in 2005, but it's almost 2007 and they still haven't.
They guy who said it works with his Pocket PC was running WM 2003, and yes, it works with that.
iGuidance uses the same software base and they have patched their's. Consider iGuidance if you don't want to have to hook up your laptop to the car just to use GPS. Their ... Read More
Rating: - Good Hardware, So-So Software
I have owned the IOGEAR Bluetooth GPS unit for almost a year now and I absolutely love it. This GPS unit locks on to satellites very quickly and it has never dropped out of reception. The mapping software (and maps database) however is another story. Keep in mind I made my purchase a year ago. They might have made improvements on the software since. I did not have the bad CD woes a couple of the reviewers have. My complaints are as follows. While making turns (usually onto or off of a freeway ramp), it sometimes gives off a rapid succession of contradicting instructions. It gets back on track once ... Read More
Rating: - problem with CDs
I have a same problem with the below review.
So far as... I even have no chance to use this GPS because not only 'setup CD' but also 'map CD' doesn't work. IOGEAR said they will send other CDs but I should wait 1 week more. Don't order this GPS if you need to use it immediately.
IOGEAR website doesn't offer download of setup programe.
Rating: - Am I missing something about the software?
If I was just reviewing the receiver itself, it would receive 5 stars. However, I have had nothing but problems with the bundled software.
The original CDs that came with it did not work on my computer for some reason. They came up as totally blank, and I even got the automatic Windows "what would you like to do with this blank CD" menu when I popped each of them in. I immediately went to work with diagnostics on my 5 month old CD/DVD-RW drive, and even did the HP online chat help to try and figure something out. I have tried all other computer data CDs that I have, and they all worked ... Read More
