After that insert the memory in the PocketPC or Blackberry. For the BLackBerry units I'm not sure, but normaly it should automaticaly ask if you want to install the MobileXT just after inserting the memory card. The best is to download the latest version of MobileXT on the Garmin website: https://buy.garmin.com/shop/store/downloadsUpdates.jsp?product=010-11034-00&cID=138&pID=11413 I have a HP IPAQ 5xxx series.

For my part : Been using it a lot on my frequent travels and in other NY boroughs since when it came out, first with a 7100, then with the 8100. I love it, it's simple, no unnecessary "toy" features. I still have a few full-fledged ones, too. Basically a waste, but who knew ? Must keep connected via lighter plug, though, otherwise the 8100 battery drains in a hurry. The puck holds a charge for the better part of a day without needing to be tethered but takes a charge quickly when allowed to take a turn at the charger. Waiting for Part 2 !!

Navizon uses cell towers to triangulate your position on a map, which doesn’t work so hot if you’re on a road trip going through sparsely-techified countryside – exactly the case when one might want a roadmap. Just take a look at some of the comments over at Gizmodo, and you’ll see the glowing reviews this product’s been getting. Kudos for trying, Navizon, keep reaching for the rainbow, but with competitors like Garmin on the hunt, you’ve got a ways to go.

So someone like kid doofus can use it to centralize his voice mail box, forwarding all his 3 or 4 or however many different Blackberrys to a single box. For the rest of us, we can use it to centralize our office, home, and Blackberry number. So if you were on vacation or just out on the road for an extended period of time, you can log on to GrandCentral Mobile and check all your missed messages.

GPS is a provided by the government, and IS free. From reading your review, am I to believe that is is one more company attempting to charge for 'free water'? “The GPS service is not a one-time fee, but a yearly fee so you will need to have an activation code which works like your access key.”
