EMTAC Navigator Palm OS Bundle

Conclusion

Conclusion

The ability to load maps state-by-state and have all the maps come on one DVD is a huge plus. Routing to addresses and POI’s is a breeze, but the address book routing feature was, sadly, frustrating and almost useless.

While the attractive software is quirky, the EMTAC S3-BTGPS receiver with its SiRF Star III chipset is damn impressive. An AC adapter should be included in a package at this price, but the internal battery and the car charger should be more than sufficient for most people. A car mount is not included, but there are plenty of inexpensive windshield and dash mount for Treos out there.

Aside from the flakey address book integration and the lack of an AC adapter, the EMTAC Navigator PalmOS Bundle is another worthy GPS navigation option for PalmOS Treos. Its biggest letdown is some software flakiness. Its high point is the incredibly powerful and capable GPS receiver.
