 Hewlett Packard iPAQ 310 January 12, 2008
2 out of 4 found this review helpful
Overall this is an excellent product. Graphics are far better than most competitors, owing mostly to the impressive screen resolution. Routing is intuitive and generally convenient and rerouting after a missed turn is excellent. The interface is quick and easy to use, though it has a significantly bigger learning curve than other units - expect to take some time to learn it. GPS fix is generally fast and accurate.
Being very new, the GPS does have some rough edges, giving some unacceptable glitches occasionally, sometimes requiring the unit to be rebooted. Also, the voice prompts are sub par, delivered through a single underpowered speaker. The text-to-speech generally pronounces things well, but can be hard to understand, especially over noise. The focus of the unit's design is definitely the graphic interface, other aspects seem to have been neglected somewhat - I like it, but some people may not.
The future of GPS is here ... January 12, 2008

When I got my hands on this GPS, I was amazed by the size and the usability features of this unit - i just love the 3-D view - seems like a futuristic product to me, designed by people who know where the technology is headed.
Let me summarize the pros and cons:
The good stuff
(1) Good updated map, routing and POI (points of interest) database
- I read some reviews on this board where people complained of bad routing. Yes, GPS can give bad routing sometimes taking you in a
circuitous routes - but that is something which all GPS do, nothing specific to HP
(2) Great touchscreen and crystal clear screen
- I can view the maps even in bright sunlight and touch the buttons even with my big fingers
(3) Small and easy to carry around
(4) 3-D view - Even though not much of Data is not ready for the city where I travel, whenever I travel to the bigger cities, I am amazed by the 3-D view
The bad stuff
(1) Very poor volume - there is where it loses a star
 Great Stuff January 7, 2008
Great Stuff, I really like it. I just used if for several days, the screen and the database are gorgeous.
Great features! January 6, 2008

Overall i like this device. I have owned over 6 GPS units and this is by far the most feature rich. My kids like the games that are preloaded and I like being able to listen to music while I drive. The mount is very nice and easy to use on an every day basis. I got this for a great price on an amazon Friday deal. The voices are pretty muffled but this was not a big problem as I hooked it into my car's audio system. The GPS routing works fine, and will get you where you are going. Has tons of features. If you are looking for a full featured GPS - this is it. Overall I give it 4.5 stars as it is not for newbies and is not simple to use. But if you are a techie you will love it.
 Worst ever! January 6, 2008

See the other reviews for specs and functionality. As for my experience, it did seem to work as advertised for a while. Then I downloaded the latest version of HP connection manager to sync contacts and update the software.
After the process finished normally. I turn the unit on. It no longer has any POI available, won't show any contacts, and will now not even calculate a route.
A call to HP tech support lasted about 3 minutes. The technician confirmed that the updating process did indeed "kill" the unit. There is no way to restore it to its original factory settings and software. Its just dead and they are sending me a box - I think to bury it in!
TomTom Go 720...On paper lesser technical capabilities than this unit. In real life it functions very very well, updates without a hitch, and generally confirms that this Ipaq unit is weak and undependable.
