I cannot imagine a better deal than this........ Yes obviously its not the best nav, but listen to this. I ordered the Magellan Companion for my color Palm M505 from modells. It was $150. Plus a $100 mail in rebate. Since i ordered on-line, there was no tax, and no shipping charges, so i will have nav for 50 bucks! The mounting bracket is going to cost me another 35, but who cares. I cant wait to get it next week....... I havent posted pics of my car even though i got it in sept, but ill try to borrow one of my freind's cameras and get pics of my car and the nav set up........ Its simple, but it should look nice........

I just bought an iPAQ 3765 w/ a Navman GPS sleeve and 340mb microdrive. The iPAQ and microdrive slide onto the sleeve and the sleeve clips onto a heavy-duty windshield mount.
The only thing I don't like is that it sometimes takes a few minutes for cold start on the GPS receiver and 340mb only fits half the U.S. -- might have to get a larger microdrive.
Beyond that, it works like a charm.

Well I went on line and got the unit from modells. My palm has 16mb of memory so that might help a little. It is going to take a few days to get the unit but I was reading some of the reviews on the unit and people say that the directions are not all that good. For me just being able to see where I am on a map is fine. The funny thing, the unit comes with software but people were saying you download directions from the internet. Who knows, for $49 if it just tells me where I am (long and lat) it will be fine.
When you get yours send me a pm and let me know.

i already got my mount. And my palm will be here on tuesday..... Im going to borrow my freinds camera and take pics of my car and the unit.
Yeah i know its not going to be a real awsome navigation, but $50!!!!!!!!!! Dude, it does get better than that..... soo cheap. If it works at all them im fine with it, plus it should look cool at night!
