Works as advertised! [Posted on 2008-08-03]
The Garmin Mobile 10 is very effective. I like the flexibility of being able to use GPS on my phone, laptop, etc. Seems to be accurate and battery life is good. I have had it on at least 10 road trips so far and it has been very useful. I am connecting to my Blackberry Curve and using the Google Maps software for the Blackberry. The downside to this is that you have to be connected to the cell network to see the maps as they are downloaded as you go. Sometimes can be slow - but that's not the fault of the GPS device.
Don't loose the reciver [Posted on 2008-09-02]
Don't loose the reciver becuse the software and reciver are conected some how. I lost mine and just bought a new reciver and I found out that the mapping software will not work with any other reciver, even the exact same model. So I am out another $120+ . I even called Garmin telling them that I have had it just a little over 2 months, I even had registed it, have orginal boxes & CD. No the software is keyed with the reciver. If I submitted a police report they "would see what they could do". I will probley cough up another $125 for a new set, Very reluctantly. It was a great product and used it alot while it worked.
Garmin Mobile 10 Bluetooth GPS [Posted on 2008-09-06]
Month later, still not installed properly. BT only. USB to communicate/charge with PC but does not function as GPS. Will not install to phone, must install to SD card and install. Having compatibility issues with SD card from PC to phone. Wasted a lot of time.
handy little add-on [Posted on 2008-09-09]
I purchased the Garmin 010-99579-00 Mobile 10 to use with my Samsung i760 smart phone. The speak to each other very nicely, and the data is generally quite accurate. I only have 2 criticisms, neither of which is significant enough to make me regret buying the unit. First of all, it's not intuitive how to insert way points, like when I'm taking a longer trip, and I know I want to use the route through X city. For that matter, it's difficult (ie I haven't figured out how to do it) to ask it to find a given highway and exit or town. It's fine with street addresses. My second minor criticism is that I had gotten used to a stand-alone GPS unit that speaks street names. But in terms of value for the money, I think it's hard to beat!
worked fine on Nokia E51 [Posted on 2008-09-20]
I used this GPS on the northwest of Argentina, in cities and open spaces and worked very well. The Nokia E51 is based on the Symbian operating system. The software could be improved, but worked well enough to navigate. The GPS unit, once it gets the satellites, can continue getting its position in the streets. I never expected to continue to get my position in such difficult conditions. As being separate from the phone, it has the advantage of being able to be placed on the windshields where it can get the satellites signal, and the disadvantage of being easy to forget it. The battery worked fine (as new).
