Mobile Crossings WP200 Review
The Mobile Crossings WP200 GPS can be a bit difficult to set up it you do not have experience with mobile devices. With a little trial and error you can figure it out. As a GPS goes the screen size is comfortable. The PDA is simular to the HP 6300 in that it has the outdated Windows mobile 2003. Which is impossible to upgrade to Windows Mobile 5 or 6. To use it with Windows Vista,you need to download some software. I like the PDA because it can hold other valuable information, games, and software, although it is light and has a cheap feel to it. The size and shape resembles many of the HP PDA's, but the resemblence ends there. The bluetooh GPS allows the PDA to be passed around inside the vehicle. The maps provided by Mobile Crossings are out dated. If you live in an area that did not exist five years ago, your home address will not work for a destination or starting point. The customer service seems to be non-existant, I have tried to contact them on several occasions and no return emails. I read somewhere that Mobile Crossings is going out of business. This may be true with all of the smartphones out there with GPS. All in all I would reccomend the Mobile Crossings PDA to people that really enjoy learning about PDA's and GPS systems. If you do purchasd one of these units I reccomend you get extra batteries, and the globalsat gps with flash.
Couldn't get GPS working
Keep getting errors and when it works does not show my address in my regional map :(
It's a great entry level gps/ pocket pc on sale...
My first impression of the gps was that it seemed sturdy out of the package and the equipment wasn't too overwhelming but made sense. The set up was a little tricky because you had to do this update in order to get your maps uploaded. Be real careful because it requests you to hit yes for an update and it's like a three second window, otherwise you have to restart the whole update process and then you can sync your gps. Once you get the maps on it is pretty straight forward... you have a lot of customizing and I will note that the text to speech function is there, meaning it dictates street names but only with the text to speech voice. It is decent but the interface isn't nearly as friendly as the garmin gps but it does also have the navteq which is supposed to be better than the teleatlas, (ie. tom tom)
Pros: Attractive design, bluetooth, windows, real text to speech
Cons: Bit cumbersome, needs to be updated to begin, windows, garbled speech at times.
All in all, for below retail, the range of the gps is great due to waas and bluetooth. Compared it to the routing of the garmin m5 and it seemed to have picked up a signal quicker and took the same route! Great entry level!
