Summary: Very good
Review: I've been expecting an offer like this for 2 years now, and other than the Garmin Palm,that lacks too many features, this is the first PDA + GPS. I really like this product. The GPS integration using Destinator 3 and the available maps is great. I use it in Brazil where I tought the maps would be poor. My mistake, the partner here, Maplink produce detailed maps and I can really use the navigation. It works. One thing I can garantee, the streets of Sao Paulo are not planned at all, so it takes a huge amount of work and time to get it right. I don't think Destinator will have any problem with well planed cities in US.
The signal is just like other GPS, takes a while to get signal and can loose it in urban canyons. The acessories are pretty much what you would expect, but comes bundled for free, a good value.
As a PDA, its enough for my needs. I can feel the 300MHz CPU being utilized to the most when treating the maps, but we never know how much is enough. Would 400 MHz be enough, maybe 800MHz, maybe.....You know those hungry apps, never enough.
Strong case, nice and with a good screen.
I don't like the stylus, its rectratable and would rather prefer a cradle instead of the cable only solution.
If you want a GPS, thats the way to go, its a very good bundle here. The PDA comes for free.
If you want a PDA only, forget it, you can get better for less.
Overall I'm very impressed, no problems until now, 2 weeks of use.
Installed other SW for routing and tracking and it recognized the GPS without problems. Tha Activesync with PC works well too, like the others I think.

Review: The Mio 168 is a great product to combine PDA and GPS. It is light and portable. I can use it when I am walking , driving.
It does include US and Canadian map. I love you. It is cheap. Most GPS cost you over $1000.
