<small><b>Navigation and PDA features, all in one.</b> <small></td></tr></table> Because the PiN 570 is made by Navman, it's first and foremost a navigation device. The unit's GPS navigation system will guide you with 3-D door-to-door maps and voice directions, all at the press of a button. You can travel directly to your Microsoft Outlook contacts using the PiN 570's integrated 12-channel GPS receiver, which is powered by Navman's SmartST 2005 software. Turn-by-turn voice guidance, back-on-track rerouting, a choice of 2-D or 3-D map perspectives, a points-of-interest database for your map region, and multiple route planning are just some of the features packed into the PiN 570's navigation software. You'll also get the convenience of area avoidance--if traffic is bad, you can tell the unit to automatically change your route and keep you moving. The Navman PiN 570 comes complete with North American maps, including Hawaii, Alaska, Puerto Rico and Guam, on CD-ROM, so you can easily download your preferred region to an included SecureDigital (SD) Card.

The PiN 570 sports a 3.5-inch landscape LCD with 320 x 240 resolution and support for up to 65,000 colors--plenty of room for detailed map views, as well as for the unit's integrated PDA functions. Get all the functionality you expect from a Windows Mobile 2003 device, including pocket versions of Microsoft Outlook, Word, and Excel. You can also listen to music and MP3 files, play games, or store and view digital photos. The PiN 570's interface is touchscreen-enabled, so every function is just a few taps away. And because the 570 fits in the palm of your hand, you can move from car to car or set out on foot with powerful features at your fingertips. From your desk to your dashboard, the Navman PiN 570 will navigate you through your day.

Useful on Road or in Office.......2007-05-21

I liked Navman pocket PC with GPS. It is simple to use and has enough features for those looking for a pocket pc to store email, contacts and some files. Also good companion while on Road (I named this gadget with my wife name - showing directions while moving)

2 bad things about this product; 1. Maps are old, not sure how to get latest maps. 2. I am still not able to connect to my wireless router (comcast broadband) for internet access.

Goes with me everywhere!.......2007-05-19

I love this thing. OK - my wife hates that I love it but she doesn't want to give me directions half the time anyway. So she argues with the way it routes sometimes - which can be amusing.

It was an excellent deal for the money at around $200 discounted. The only feature it is lacking is WiFi which I bought an SDIO card from e-bay for. Of course browsing on a PDA is not as great a feature as it seems and when I am using the SDIO card, I don't have my 2GB SD card - oh yeah, you need a larger card to load more than a few states at once. When traveling, it would be nice to have a USB travel charger to connect it to my laptop for power as the included wall wart + cable is a bit annoying to carry around and running out to the car to charge is also a pain.

Not sure about the reviewer complaining about the mount - it is actually a lot better than I would expect but some cleaning of the windshield helps to make it stick better. I haven't had problems with the maps being outdated either although I believe they are [...].

My wife does like to play games on it - mainly the puzzle type so sometimes we fight over it. Support was a bit slow but in the end came through for me.

A few times in the beginning it would crash on long trips but it hasn't crashed in a while - I tell it to backup every now and then just in case. I would not recommend this to a non-technical person looking for a GPS to stay in the car as there are larger, more expensive models for this but for someone looking for a PDA with GPS capability, it is a win-win for less than a cost of either in most cases.

Navman is great.......2007-01-23

I've had my Navman GPS only for about a month now but it is a great product so far. The only thing I didnt like was I had to buy an external gps antenna cause the gps signal wasnt getting through my heated windshield on my truck. But the gps signal reception is great and its just a wonderful thing to have.

quick shippment, user unfriendly, lost reception from time to time.......2007-01-10

i don't recommend this product

It is Ok for that price.......2007-01-09

It is not bad, but needs some improvements. Good things about it are 3D display and price. Using 3D you can see the road ahead in advance. It is very useful when you drive in the dark.
It is slow to get signal whenever it starts. Also It is not as accurate as other GPS. When I enter some address numbers it cannot recognize them and set the destination to the city.
Another wish item is the cable used to charge and to communicate with a computer. It is bulky and not easy to use. Usually PDAs have their own cradle, but this does not. That means the socket for the cable in this device can be damaged if you are not careful. I had that kind of experience with my previous cellphone and I needed to buy new one.
