 Broken but fixed April 25, 2008

This unit arrived factory sealed. After being charged and fired up, it failed to acquire a satellite track. I called HP support. After working my way through the automatted phone system (which doesn't seem to know HP sells a GPS)and multiple disconnects, I was finally able to talk to a real person. She shipped me a mailing package and the GPS was back in my hands in about 1 1/2 weeks.
I can't really tell you how this unit compares with other units. This is my first GPS. These are just my impressions:
1) Documentation sucks !! Both for the unit and the software updating documentation. Even the updated documentation sucked.
2) Maps, POI's, voices, and etc. are all updatable via the web. The updating software is confusing to operate though. The interface is less than intuitive and documentation is again an issue.
3) If found the GPS had many features and options but is less than intuitive to operate. Expect to spend some time learning to work your way through the various screens and options.
4) If you drive a Lexus and are 25 years old, you might be able to hear the speaker. On the other hand, if you listened to too many loud rock band in the 1960's, don't even expect to know there is a speaker.
All in all, I am very happy with the unit and I would buy another one.
 Not Happy April 25, 2008
Directions not very clear and Tech support had no clue as to how to operate unit. Bluetooth operation useless. Not clear and hard for others to hear that are called.

I have been using the Travel companion for the past few days and I do not have any complaints on it. I do not understand why there are so many bad ratings for it. Essentially, it is a device packed with features...you have to read the online manual ( on the CD) to used it well...Once you have done that, it is a fabulous machine...If you do not even bother to even read the manual, then I think you will have problems and possibly a "simpler" device would be better for you.
No Suction Here!! April 24, 2008

I am pretty much happy with the IPAQ 310. I guess one could say I'm "Nit Picking" because the Suction Cup Mount provided is USELESS! Not once has the supplied mount stayed on the window. It's not good to see your IPAQ 310 falling off the mount for a Hard Landing! I had to purchase the Bracketron "Nav-Mat" GPS Dash Mount which sits on the dashboard to hold the HP unit in place. Other than that, the unit itself works just fine for me. I have been using GPS products long before they became "Hot". I really prefer using my Laptop because of the 15.4 Screen. I like to see a whole lot more than these tiny screens. As far as I am concerned, Delorme has the best software on the market, namely "Street Atlas" for PC's.
IPA310 April 21, 2008
I am using the GPS and it is working well. This is in no way thanks to the owner's manual. It is pretty useless. The only way to figure it out is by trial and error and experimenting. I am sure there are features that I am not using yet because I haven't taken the time to play with them.
