Garmin
jumps on the wireless bandwagon with its GPS 10 Deluxe, a GPS
receiver that communicates with Bluetooth-enabled Pocket PCs and
PC laptops to allow easy, intuitive navigating.
Unlike GPS devices with built-in screens, the GPS 10 Deluxe
displays its mapping and navigational data on your mobile
computer's monitor, ensuring superior close-up detail, more memory
storage, and faster operation than with traditional
navigators.
And because it's wireless, users won't have to futz with
cumbersome cables that get in the way each time they need to move
the laptop or reposition the receiver. The cable-free solution is
ideal for cars and trucks, as the device installs via the included
magnetic or Velcro mounts, or even outside the vehicle should
users need a clear path to the satellites.
It's also waterproof, so it can withstand nasty weather and poor
conditions. The GPS 10 Deluxe comes with a fully unlocked
MapSource City Select North America CD, which includes detailed
maps of the U.S., Canada, and Puerto Rico, with more than five
million points of interest and intensive street-level map
data.
In addition, the package boasts two easy-to-use navigation
applications: nRoute, which installs on a Bluetooth-enabled
laptop, and Que, a Pocket PC program. The applications turn both
mobile devices into fully functioning navigators. Users can easily
look up addresses, restaurants, and services, or they can select a
destination and receive automatic routing, turn-by-turn
directions, off-route recalculation, and voice prompts as they
drive.
The Bluetooth communication works at distances of up to 30 feet,
adding to the unit's versatility. Additional features include
rechargeable lithium-ion batteries that power your GPS receiver
for up to a dozen hours at a time and a 12-volt power adapter that
connects to your cigarette lighter.
The GPS 10 Deluxe measures 1.77 by 3.46 by 0.75 inches (W x H x D)
and is covered by a one-year warranty.
