"This thing is incredible!!! AAAAA+++++++"

by mailkc on May 21, 2005

Pros: Never crashes, saves time and gas, provides very useful info, small compact package.

Cons: Would like faster acquisition time.
Summary: I love my M5!

I am a Realtor and this thing has changed my business! I have used a Garmin 2610 before and couldn't decide between the 2610 and the M5. I paid $561 delivered for the M5. Sold my Ipaq 4155 on EBAY so my net purchase was like $300. I love having the PDA/GPS combo unit. I can grab it and jump into a clients car and were set. It never crashes or locks up on me. The navigation is right on 99.9% of the time. It has shown me new ways to get around town I never thought of. It tells me what time I am going to arrive at my destination and constantly updates that time. It keeps a "foot print" of everwhere I have been for days! It doubles as an electronic yellow pages, it knows all the businesses, restaurants, everything with phone numbers and details! It makes a great map as well. It helps me write off my mileage for tax purposes. I can't imagine any Realtor or delivery person without one these! I highly recomend this unit!

I forgot to mention I added a 1GB secure digital card which cost me $70 new. I was able to load detailed maps and business information for all of Florida and Georgia and still have tons of room for MP3's.

Some folks want wireless. Well you could buy a secure digital 256mb wireless card for $80 and you would be all set. I am waiting for the 1 GB wireless card.

Does your memory card card stick out of your device? If not, what brand/type is it? I am looking for one that does not stick out. I am wanting to increase the memeory of my device. I was told that to add a 1 gig or 2 gig card I would need to use the same slot that the wi-fi card would use. I was also told that it is possible to get wi-fi/memeory combination cards. Does anyone know where to get these and if they stick out of the device? Does anyone know if this device will accept 4 gigs of memory?
