Def does not deserve more than 1 star!!
I do not recommend this product at all. sigh. It made me missed my job interview today!!! The SmartST map and nav software suck!! my interview was at 2pm today in Boston. I live in New York. I left my house 6 hours prior to my interview just in case sumthing might happened, which it did!!! At the beginning, i was using paper directions that i printed out from Yahoo, which completely sucks too. I would never use Yahoo maps anymore. I am going back with Mapquest!! Yahoo threw me off completely that I could get to I95 north by taking this highway, I didn't end up on I95 N but ended up in front of a state park. I approximately wasted 30 mins getting lost there. With nothing else I could rely on, I decided to trust Navpin to get me there for my job interview. the stupid thing kept telling to go in circles getting off and on the same section of the highway. it tells me to get off that highway, then go some local and get back on the same highway again, in circles and more circles. Also, it does not have the updates roads. I punched in my interview address. it says the address couldn't be recognized. the employer gave me the EXACT address too!! itz not like i was only entering a zip code and that's it, exact address!! it kept telliing me that Investors Way couldn't be found. then I punched in Norwood, MA. the pocket pc gave me stupid craps like "Norwood, MCD, MA" sigh. so I had to enter the closest intersection of the nearest two roads, and it still didnt work. Knowing that i would get to the interview place after 5pm, i had to call the lady that i was lost on the road for 2 hours and would like to reshedule my job interview. I am sure the company's not so happy about me cancelling the interview couples of hours before the interview b'cuz two managers was supposed to meet with me and now.... so yea, i am very disappointed and frustrated. Thanks to the pocket Pc now i lost my interview and the lady hasn't emailed me back about an alternate interview. =(

navman pin100
I completely feel disappointed about this product. First it took at least 3 minute to locate GPS satellite. This product can direct you to the destination you selected and only to the street but not to the house number. Many time this product brought me 2miles off the house number. By the way, the address is not US format which made you feel very annoying to select right address. I recommand to return for refund if you can. I have sent questions to this company but got a strange reply.

decent hardware but software and tech support suck
I bought the PIN100 because it was a fairly affordable system. However, it seems like you get what you pay for. The hardware is ok, except for the tiny SD card that doesn't even hold the maps of a single state. The SmartST V2 software on the other hand has lots of shortcomings. <
>One of the problems is that you cannot back up your data files. That means when the battery dies, you loose everything. You need to enter all you destinations again. The only thing worse than that fact is the attitude of their tech support. Their answer was: "Unfortunately this is not a feature offered on the PDA version of SmartST .. sorry for the inconvenience. Keep that PDA charged!". <
>Another thing that sucks is that they don't offer any upgrade to version 3, which fixes most problems. If you want it, you have to pay full prize. I don't understand why they still sell the PIN100 with such a low-capacity SD card and their old crappy SmartST V2 software.
