I have been used Garmin GPS10 for 3 years and pairing with Ipaq 5500 PDA via bluethooth, both gadget have been out of date, however I still use both equipments as a back-up. Three years ago somebody sell a secondhand GPS10 in superb condition and cost me less than US$ 100, then I paired the GPS10 with my Ipaq which is have 3.8” screen, sometimes I paired the GPS with my notebook.
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. The magnet is strong enough to stick the GPS to a metal surface like vehicle roof. 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. Garmin also released a newer version pf Pocket PC software: Garmin Mobile XT, you can download this software from Garmin site. 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. After more than three years using this GPS, the battery is still in excellent condition. The GPS10 satellite reception is excellent in outdoor or inside a car without window film, however the reception almost negligible inside a car with metal containing window film. Basically Garmin GPS10 is accurate amd strong enough for daily use. For someone who looking for more sensitive, fast and accurate Bluetooth-enable GPS, you can try to find Garmin Mobile 10 (price going down now, around US$ 130 at Amazon) or Holux product (much cheaper).
