Mobile Crossing WayPoint 200 GPS Navigation PDA
'GPS is coming on fast and furious not only in car tech but also in the handheld market. PDAs with navigation features are sprouting up across the board, from the Garmin iQue M5 to the Mio 168RS to the Navman PiN, and now the Mobile Crossing WayPoint 200. Unlike with other PDAs, the WayPoint's GPS antenna isn't built into the device; instead, a Bluetooth GPS receiver and a CompactFlash Bluetooth card are included. It makes for a bit of a cumbersome setup, especially with the myriad accessories and wires that come with the PDA. That said, we were impressed by the WayPoint 200's solid performance and accuracy as a navigation device--it's a pretty respectable PDA. We just wish it weren't so expensive ($750). Plus, if you want to travel beyond your home region, you have to pony up even more cash to download additional maps.'
