The All Singing, All Dancing, All-Everything-Doing Arkon Powered GPS Mount
Posted by Pat Logsdon in "ARTICLE" @ 10:30 AM
"The idea of having a GPS is always one I have always liked. I never wanted a standalone GPS unit because what was the fun of that. I am a PDA guy, it needs to be connected to my device. There were some CF cards and then Bluetooth receivers, but for some reason they did not seem right. My buddy Matt over at thePDAmart told me about a new GPS unit Arkon was releasing, and it caught my eye. Unlike a CF, SD, or Bluetooth GPS which would still require you to buy and additional mount for using your device in the car, the Arkon Powered GPS unit is an all-in-one device that puts all the features you need and more into one unit."
I actually had an earlier model of this - basically the same thing but without the GPS. According to the [very good] article, the GPS chipset is SiRF Xtrac V2, which is top notch. This unit has a speaker and can power several devices at the same time. If you're in the market for a GPS unit for vehicle navigation, I highly recommend that you give this article a read.
