PalmOne Zire 72 GPS Bundle

Rating:
Summary: Excellent user interface. Quick rerouting
Review: User Interface of Tom Tom Navigator included is best I have seen.

Most of the features can be used with fingres. Thus this can be used very well with the limited real estate available on Palm Zire 72.Reroutings are very quick. Everything including mountings come included in the pak. Speker volume of palm is loud enough even with the radio on. I could even load NY NJ CT maps on the included 64 MB card. This could have been larger without increasing the price substantially.

Voice prompts are good but do not give road number or names or exit numbers. Names I understand is difficult to achive without that irritating robotic tone but numbers I believe should be possible.

3D map display I though was more of a gimmick. But this does make map display more readable when driving.

Reason I have given 4 stars is inability to use palm addresses which instead need to be entered again in navigation software.

Other problem is you have very little control over routing. In simplyfying Interface features such as prefer highways / local roads / avoid toll roads / shortest paths are not available.You can control it a bit using Travel Via option. But then again only one via can be entered. Find alternative is another way of controlling rerouting. Avoid roadblocks is a nice feature available.

Overall a very nice and usable product even on Palm.
