 Disappointed May 24, 2008
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
I was initially impressed after receiving the Ipaq 310 4 days ago. It acquired satellites quickly, the display was crisp, bright, and clear. Routing was acceptable. The interface was fairly intuitive. Then the problems started. The unit crashed twice. It spontaneously turns itself on, twice draining the battery as the device sat unused. HP support recommended I return the device for repair, but since Amazon has a 30 day refund policy, I think it would be wise to cut my losses before I am stuck with a remanufactured lemon. I will be returning the unit for a refund. Listen up, HP: fix the problems before releasing the product!
Update: I took the advice of another reviewer and gave this unit a chance. After several weeks of use, I am glad I did. While not perfect, this unit works quite well after all. I learned that turning the unit off while it is navigating will cause the battery drain problem: apparantly the supplied case fits a little snug, and it is easy for the power button to be accidentally pressed. If the unit activates, afer having been switched off while navigating, it will then stay on, draining the battery. The unit has crashed, bit not while operating. THe routes are quite good, and there are plenty of adjustments in the software to allow the user to tweak the results. I do like the advanced features this unit sports, including multipoint routing, and the good display. All in all, I'm glad I kept this device. I would now rate it at least 3 stars, and would recommend it to friends.

I had to give this 1 star but in honesty it would of been 0
I am in the UK and bought this to use when traveling in the US as its a "travel Companion"
I am just about to throw it in the bin as mine is of no use to anyone. If you get a faulty item from HP then your stuck on there repair merrygo round. I got my unit back from HP EU repair people Mid April and its got the same issue again. It wont power up :(
As you can see from the conversation below its just not worth the effort, if it breaks and mine has twice now you may as well go buy a different product.

We cannot offer you a replacement we can only offer you a repair.

why can you not replace a faulty item the has had the same fault twice
at which point do you finally give up repairing it and replace it - will i have to send it back every month for repair until the
warranty runs out ?
[Tuesday, May 20, 2008 8:44 PM] -- De Wood says:
i am not trying to be awkward i am jsut trying to understand why
an obvious fault that has happened more than once now will only be repaired
[Tuesday, May 20, 2008 8:45 PM] -- Kristie L says:

 Lowcost Bluetooth - GPS with Quirky Interface HP iPAQ 310 May 11, 2008
A low price with these features means a confusing unexplained GUI and the slowest web site for software upgrades and map updates I have ever encountered. The latest application upgrade is markedly better than the one on the unit when I bought it! Price is right and plays music & videos if you add extra memory.
 Hewlett-Packard IpaQ May 2, 2008
I just recently purchased the Hewlett-Packard iPAQ 310 Bluetooth 4.3-Inch Widescreen Portable GPS Navigator. It was easy to use rt out the box. The software was easy to install. I used it twice so far on road trips and it was a sinch to use. A must buy, worth every penny...^^
 Shame on HP April 29, 2008

I have used this thing perhaps 6 times and it has locked up on me twice. It would not turn off and I had to pull the battery out and then re-insert it. HP should be very embarassed to have release such a faulty product. On the positive side, the screen has high resolution and looks very good, but I will not buy another one from HP.
