I was curious if it was worth getting the microsoft GPS locator or is it crap and should get another one? Thanks!

The Microsoft GPS unit is a Pharos unit and it works very well. I agree the software is not good. Go with Iguidance.

I saw a great deal at Office Max, with the entire package for about $55. So I bought it. I ran it on my laptop and it works great. Even though it doesn't automatically recalculate the route, its a 1 button fix.

Then I got dissappointed with the non-native support with RoadRunner, but the Brushed Metal Skin helps with it even though not perfect.

It may be a huge program, but it runs with no glitches on my M10000.

The GPS reciever itself looks nice (blue light), and gets a lock very quickly. I have never owned another GPS device, so I cannot compare it to anything.

I do recommend it, even though it is weird.

btw: the itty bitty buttons are very easy to touch so I haven't had a problem. You might be able to increase its size with the default xp accessability options since it is a microsoft product.
