04.21Enjoy The HP iPaq Navigation system
Most Pocket PC users will be lost without their iPaqs HP that they organized. Now, thanks to HP IPAQ Navigation, your IPaq can go even further, preventing you from getting lost on the streets. Compatible with H1940, H2200, H3870, H3970, H4000 and H5000 series, as well as the most recent iPaqs (rz1700 series is the only exception), $ 330 Includes a Bluetooth GPS receiver and maps of the United States and Canada. It’s a bit expensive compared to other receivers on the market, but its experience makes it an ideal travel companion for IPaq owners.
Compared to other GPS receivers we’ve tested, IPaq navigation system a bit bulky, measuring 3,3 by 1,8 by 1,0 inches and weighing 3.4 ounces. A nice touch, however, the rubber grip on the rear panel of the device, which prevents it from sliding on the dashboard. Or better yet, use the included vent mount for a safer alternative. At the bottom three LEDs that blink blue for Bluetooth, GPS signals are green, and orange for charging the battery. The power switch is located on the left side of the device, and there is the power cord on the right (car charger comes with the kit).
The software uses Navtech data and includes street-level maps of USA and Canada, which you can download to your Pocket PC from your region or city, 25 -, 50 -, 75 – and 100-mile segments. Once the card is installed, you can choose to navigate to your destination in any of six ways: at the address indicated in the intersection, on your own favorite destinations, or through the contact list. There are also options for the construction of courses based on shortest distance, or you can stay on the back roads and highways to avoid altogether. It is not as comprehensive as the software included in the DeLorme Earthmate or TeleType receiver, but voice-guided turn-by-turn directions and real-time information (remaining distance, estimated time of arrival, etc.) to get a job. In addition, there are attractions database with more than 1 million entries in numerous categories, such as restaurants, hotels, ATMs, and petrol stations.
We tested the IPaq navigation system with IPaq h4150, and it kept us on the road, as we have overcome in the San Francisco area. We rose at three critical signals about 40 seconds, and they hold firm, even though we went in between tall buildings. Voice and visual directions were accurate, and if you missed the turn, the system will automatically redirect to the course.900mAh receiver (milliamp hours) lithium-ion battery for 8 hours, unfortunately, he came up short in the hour of our tests.
