Palm GPS Navigator Smartphone Edition

The Palm GPS Navigator Smartphone Edition features text- and voice-guided directions, an accurate receiver, and a vast number of navigation and map customization options. Setup is also easy, and you can dial a phone number from the points-of-interest database directly from your Treo.The bad: The Palm GPS Navigator Smartphone Edition is a bit pricey, and we wish there was a mounting apparatus for the Bluetooth GPS receiver.

The bottom line: For the true road warrior, the Palm GPS Navigator Smartphone Edition can take some of the stress out of your busy on-the-go lifestyle by bringing accurate driving directions right to your Treo; just be prepared to pay a price.

Today, Palm and TomTom announced their latest GPS solution for the Palm Treo family–the Palm GPS Navigator Smartphone Edition. This new version brings support for the Treo 700p, as well as the Treo 700w and the Treo 650, and features the latest TomTom Navigator 6 software. It’s a good addition for Treo owners who are constantly on the road and need help getting directions to their destinations. The setup is easy, and the software provides accurate driving directions, with the option to add traffic information and other useful services.

At its $299 price, we think the devices is a bit on the pricey side; you can get some stand-alone in-car nav systems for that price nowadays. But considering how attached Treo users get to their devices, and with the travel-friendly setup and usefulness of the GPS Navigator, the functional and user-friendly GPS solution is sure to attract a number of Treo owners.

If you’re considering purchasing a Palm Treo or already own one, and also are interested in buying a GPS navigation system, you’re in luck. Palm’s new GPS Navigator Smartphone Edition features the new Navigator 6 software powered by GPS giant TomTom. Designed to work with the Palm Treo 650, Treo 700w, and Treo 700p smart phones, it provides everything you need to turn your Treo into a full-featured GPS navigation system. You’ll also be happy to know that Navigator 6 has most of the features and functions available on TomTom’s popular GPS products.

These days, GPS (global positioning system) navigation systems are becoming less of a luxury, especially since the capability comes with (or can be added to) most PDAs or smartphones. If you happen to be considering the purchase of a Palm Treo (or already have one on your hip), the latest Palm GPS Navigator smartphone edition can turn it into a full-fledged navigation device.

The $299 GPS Navigator smartphone edition works with the Treo 650, 700w/wx, and 700p and includes everything but the smartphone. You get TomTom Navigator 6 software (on a single DVD), a 1 GB SD card, Bluetooth GPS receiver, suction-cup windshield mounting cradle, vehicle power adapter, and finally, a USB-based SD card reader for transferring maps from a PC.
