Efficient Palm GPS Receivers |
The Palm GPS Receiver is a small device that provides graphic display and storage capacity to augment the capabilities of a GPS or can provide other portable navigation features. They have a relatively large 160x160 gray-scale display screen for map display and additional memory and processing power.
For some users this may span the gap between a fully contained GPS unit that does everything and a unit attached to a full laptop or desktop computer. The Palm units are as portable as a GPS itself and don't add too much bulk for use even when hiking.
Palm Tungston T is the first release of the new Palm hardware which runs OS 5. While many of the Palm version 4 software products will run on the Palm Version 5 hardware they generally will not be able to take advantage of the hardware specific features such as the 320x320 color screen. Similar problems exist for some Sony units with 320x320 screen displays and for HandEra units with 320x240 screen displays.
Maps take a significant amount of memory so it may be important to have support for external cards. External cards are now available for most palm hardware configurations but not all of them may work unless you have the mapping software. Be sure and check, preferably by downloading the demo and trying it out, before you buy a program where you are expecting this to work. |
