i-mate PDA-N: Nice Device, Quirky GPS Support
Posted by Darius Wey in "THOUGHT" @ 08:00 PM
"I got an I-Mate PDA-N. Seems that they accidentally slipped a GPS receiver into the unit. Why do I say that? You have to look hard to find any real references to it. Nothing on the box indicates it has a GPS. The manuals that come with it only note GPS in two locations. The pictures that show the buttons and features, show that one of the buttons launches the GPS, and there is a warning in the back of the manual about safety concerns when using a GPS while driving. The table of contents doesn't list GPS, nor does the Index. There is some info in the User's Guide about how to connect the PPC to a BT GPS."
According to Pocket PC swami Sven, the i-mate PDA-N isn't all it's cracked up to be. Overall, it's a nice device, but it appears you have to move heaven and earth to tap into the device's most significant feature (integrated GPS). 8O
