Buyer's feedback: 4 out of 5 stars - * ***Beware of Map Version*** ...
I purchased this item for my HP rx5915 in May of 2008. Love the software in spite of SD card limitations. The map on my card was City Navigator NT2008. The 2009 map version is out now. I asked Garmin if I could get the newer map since I just bought it through an authorized retailer (Amazon). I was told NO. I had to return the unit I just bought here and buy the new one from Garmin direct for $20 more. There is no way to tell what map version you will get as it is not marked on the packaging or by part number.



Buyer's feedback: 4 out of 5 stars - Great navigation, but...
I bought this for my Dopod D810 (HTC) running WM6 with a built-in GPS.

Pros:
- Easy setup, just plug in the SD card and you're good to go.

- Navigation works great, POI's seems comprehensive enough, in other words the standard GPS functionality works fine.

- I like the turn preview option, which zooms to the turn, until you've made the turn and then zooms back out.

- I believe a product review should always consider the price. Under $100 seems fair enough for what you get.


Cons:
- CANNOT COPY THE DATA TO YOUR OWN SD CARD. This has been discussed in other reviews in detail. Depending on your usage this can be either an inconvenience or the reason to not buy the software. The data card has around 800MB free, so I copied all my programs and data (~600MB) to the garmin supplied SD. This worked fine, so I don't need to swap data cards all the time. However, this does not leave me with much free space for additional data or programs. I was seriously considering penalizing 2 stars for this limitation alone, but since the software works well and I managed to copy my data to the garmin card, I am feeling very generous (I wish the option of 3.5 stars was available).

- The house numbers down the lane where I live was a bit messed up on the map which is a bit annoying (my house is 324, but the map shows it as 341). Not a big issue since I can always stick my neck out and read the number on the mailbox. I didn't notice this for any other areas (so far), so hopefully it's just my lane.

- It would really have been nice if the on-screen keypad was QWERTY, and not arranged in alphabetical order.


In conclusion, if you don't have too much of your own software/data to store on the SD card, then I would highly recommend this product. If Garmin really insists on using their own data card, perhaps they could have the option of a bigger data card.



Buyer's feedback: 5 out of 5 stars - * Wonderfull product, beats everything else!! ...
I used this product with my the HTC touch cruise and worked perfectly well. I could transfer all my waypoints from a previous Garmin product in seconds using the latest Mapsource version. Just plugged the 2.0 GB plug and play SD card and the software was ready to use in seconds. Garmin also offers free traffic and weather updates with this product!



Buyer's feedback: 4 out of 5 stars - Mobile navigation for smartphone
THis product work fine in my windows mobile 6 phone. I have a samsung blackjack 2. If you are looking for a portable GPS this could be the right choise.



Buyer's feedback: 3 out of 5 stars - * Garmin XT vs Nuvi ...
The software is very similar to the Nuvi units, which is why I purchased it. There are some small differences, and they can catch you out. There are also many many problems with the software. I am running on an AT&T Tilt (HTC TyTN II). Problems include:
- Can't fing GPS device, which is built in. The only way to correct this is to reboot the phone.
- Software locks up while redrawing a map. To minimise this I have turned off autozoom, and don't zoom in and out.
- upcoming roads don't sho on the map at certain zoom levels. If you zoom in one level they are there, also zoom out one level they display, but a given zoom and the map just shows the road you are on. This is in 3d mode, not sure about standard map mode.
- When trying to access some of the tools, like gas prices or POI's the software crashes, and requires a unit reboot. I just don't use tools any more.
- Takes a long time to open, and even longer to acquire satellites.

I still use the software, but after the flawless Nuvi unit that I have, this was a letdown.

On paper, the Mio DigiWalker P550 looks to be an attractive gadget for the mobile professional, combining the capabilities of a PDA and GPS into one device. However, its poor battery life and subpar navigation skills tell a different story.

Though it won't appeal to the masses quite yet, the Nokia N800 Internet Tablet is a nice, portable device for on-the-go Web browsing, and it has some worthy upgrades.

Though it has a few design and performance glitches, the Sony Ericsson W300i is a quality, basic MP3 cell phone.

Diesel vehicles have nearly a 50-percent market share in Europe, thanks to tax incentives and diesel-friendly legislation across the EU. Diesels are so passé there that you can buy a BMW 730d and no one will think it odd that your luxury car burns oil. Pull up in a diesel 7-Series in America and people would leer at you like you've alighted from an amphibious vehicle reeking of saltwater and dead trout.

But now, thanks to the oft-reported combo of newly-raised CAFE standards, not-so-newly-raised gas prices, and the 50-state diesel engine, GM, Ford, and Chrysler are about to dip more than a hesitant toe into the diesel game. Chrysler offers a diesel in the Grand Cherokee, but soon all three automakers will offer diesels in their best-selling lineups of light trucks -- the Dodge Ram 1500 is expected to offer a 50-state diesel after 2009. Light trucks are being used to lead the charge since those buyers stand to gain the most with the least amount of (perceived) sacrifice.

Diesels currently have 3.2-percent of the American market. Some estimates put them at 15-percent by 2015. That's a huge leap, and diesel still has plenty of hurdles. Diesels will come with a cost premium over gasoline-engined cars. That should be easy enough to conquer -- incentives and some quick cost and longevity calculations should convince people of the benefit. The real hurdle is the nagging issue of perception. The plan will probably be to attack that with a price that makes the proposition unbeatable. Said Chrysler's director of environmental affairs, "If it's priced right, we can sell diesel here. Diesel can give you an immediate poke in fuel economy -- 20 to 40 percent. Not many technologies can deliver that today."

Set in Saudi Arabia, The Kingdom is a political action thriller with good acting and wonderful visuals. Its so-so script, though, at times meanders aimlessly until a good explosion jolts the viewer's attention back to the screen. Jamie Foxx stars as FBI special agent Ronald Fleury, who leads an elite team into Saudi Arabia to find the terrorists who attacked American employees working in the Middle East. He has been given the unlikely deadline of five days to infiltrate the compound, with just his wit and his crew, which includes forensics expert Janet Mayes (Jennifer Garner), explosives guru Grant Sykes (Chris Cooper), and intelligence analyst Adam Leavitt (Jason Bateman). It's unclear how helpful smarmy U.S. diplomat Damon Schmidt (Jeremy Piven) will be, but Fleury knows enough to surmise that the media-hungry Schmidt might not be completely trustworthy. Foxx and Garner have wonderful screen presence, but it's Bateman and Piven who get the best lines. Director Peter Berg peppers The Kingdom with actors he has worked with in the past. Berg, who guest-starred on Alias opposite Garner, casts Tim McGraw in a small role here. (The country singer also had a co-starring role in Berg's 2004 film Friday Night Lights.) And Kyle Chandler and Minka Kelly--two of Berg's lead actors from the Friday Night Lights television series, , make appearances in The Kingdom. The action sequences he creates are impressive and generate a sense of panic that The Kingdom producer Michael Mann (Miami Vice) undoubtedly applauds. While a tauter script would've rounded out the action nicely, the action in many cases does speak for itself. --Jae-Ha Kim

A staggering portrait of arrogance and incompetence, the documentary No End in Sight avoids the question of why the U.S. invaded Iraq in 2003, choosing instead to focus on the war's aftermath--and meticulously examine the chain of decisions that led Iraq into a grotesque state of lawlessness and civil war. Drawing from interviews with top generals, administration officials, journalists, and soldiers who were in the thick of the war itself, No End in Sight lays out a gripping story, as suspenseful as any Hollywood movie, accompanied by terrifying footage of firefights and explosions more vivid than any special effects. Unfortunately, there is no happy ending. If the documentary has a weakness, it's the shortage of voices trying to defend the administration policies (perhaps unsurprisingly, policymakers like Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, and Paul Wolfowitz declined to be interviewed). But the testimony (presented by administration insiders and officials in Iraq, both military and civilian) argues that, despite contrary analysis and experienced advice against its actions, the top brass of the Bush administration made decisions (that aggravated already existing problems and created devastating new ones. No End in Sight builds its case one voice at a time and avoids the grandstanding that undercuts Michael Moore's work; instead, the gradual accumulation of simple facts--presented with weary resignation, earnest outrage, and restrained anger--results in a compelling condemnation of one of the worst blunders the U.S. has ever made. --Bret Fetzer

Fans of Oliver Stone's J.F.K. will recognize the opening moments of writer-director Eugene Jarecki's Why We Fight, in which outgoing President Dwight Eisenhower warns of the pernicious and growing influence of what he called the "military-industrial complex." But Stone's movie, which uses the same footage, was a work of fiction. While those who disagree with the decidedly leftist point of view in this documentary will probably consider it the product of paranoid liberal fantasy as well, there's enough credible material, much of it supplied by the targets of Jarecki's criticisms, to make Eisenhower look like a prophet and everyone else uneasy about the dark confluence of politics, money, and war that controls the country's fortunes. The message here is that while there may be some who sincerely believe that America's various military engagements (in Iraq, Vietnam, Grenada, Panama, and elsewhere) since World War II are the product of our God-given duty to spread freedom and halt the influence of evil ideologies around the world, the real reason we fight is that war is good business. This is hardly a bulletin; anyone who is surprised by allegations that politicians pander to defense contractors, or that Vice President Dick Cheney helped secure huge deals for Halliburton, the company he formerly headed, simply hasn't been paying attention (Politicians lie? How shocking!). In fact, the principal drawback to Jarecki's film is simply that there's nothing particularly revelatory or compelling about it. Only when he takes a personal approach does he go beyond the obvious; the story of a retired New York policeman and former Vietnam veteran whose son died in the World Trade Center, who wanted revenge, but who became seriously disillusioned when Bush admitted that the war in Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11, adds some much needed human interest. Still, Why We Fight, which includes a director's audio commentary track and a few other bonus features, serves as a grim reminder that the world's most powerful nation has strayed far from the principles of our founding fathers, a development that does not bode well for America's future. --Sam Graham

In her snowy home state of Utah, Marie Osmond serves up a warm cup of holiday cheer with Marie Osmond's Merry Christmas, her very first Christmas special. Mixing traditional songs and carols with modern melodies, Marie presents a sentimental hourlong program (originally aired on television in 1989), blending music with short sketches. The show features Kirk Cameron, then-teen heartthrob on Growing Pains; Candace Cameron, his sister and star of Full House; country singer Lee Greenwood; Sally Struthers and daughter Samantha, ice dancers Judy Blumberg and Michael Siebert, and the Osmond Boys.

Marie opens the show with an outdoor rendition of "We Need a Little Christmas" and then moves into the studio where Kirk Cameron arrives on a snowmobile (fresh from rescuing a trio of blonde snow bunnies) to read "The First Christmas Story." Lee Greenwood performs "Christmas to Christmas" and later a duet with Marie. "It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas" is sung by Sally Struthers and daughter with help from the Osmond Boys--six stepping stones ages 4 to 12 who have the senior Osmonds' moves down pat. The adorable award, though, goes to Marie's 5-year-old son, Steven, who performs a rockin' version of "Santa Claus Is Comin' to Town" (clapping on the off-beat nearly the whole song).

Marie has a good, strong voice, but many of the songs are overproduced and melodramatic. This, most likely, is a product of the big, pouffy '80s (her hair and outfits are also bigger-than-life) rather than a reflection of her talents. The closing number, "O Holy Night," sung by Marie alone, is quite lovely. --Dana Van Nest
