palm treo 800w with GPS

Palm and Sprint today officially announced Palm Treo 800W with integrated GPS. With the embedded GPS and Palm software, Treo 800w smartphone offers maps, point-to-point directions and point-of-interest (POI) searches.

This is Sprint’s newest smartphone with Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional which is designed for business users who depend on their smartphones for high-speed work on the go. Palm Treo 800w operates on the Sprint and utilizes EV-DO Rev. A networks.

Palm Treo 800w has a nice 320x320 screen, 2MP camera, and a microSD card slot. It will cost $250 if you’re willing to stay loyal to Sprint for two years. The door-to-door navigation is of course extra and will cost an extra $10 on top of your voice/data plan.

Once the GPS Navigation program starts up, your selected destination is instantly set up and in moments, the voice prompts start telling you exactly which way to go in order to get there. This integration (combined with the extremely high speed GPS fix times) makes the Treo 800w by far the easiest to use GPS Navigation system I’ve ever seen.

Finally we have Garmin Oregon 400t which will fly off the shelves since it only costs $640 ( end sarcasm). While the other 400 Oregon models (400i, 400c) specialize in freshwater and saltwater, 400t specializes in topo maps and 3D map views.

The map that comes with Oregon 400t include details such as national, state and local parks and forests, terrain contours, elevation information, trails, rivers, lakes and points of interest. And in case topo maps mean nothing to you you can switch to the 3D map view to get an idea of how steep the hill is.

The rest of the specs such as the microSD card slot, USB interface, 3″ screen, barometric altimeter, electronic compass, rugged IPX7 waterproof case is all standard on 400t.

One up model from Oregon 200 is Garmin Oregon 300 which was announced just yesterday with the rest of the models.

For $533 MSRP Oregon 300 offers the usual basemaps - but this time with shaded relief. It also adds some hardware changes to offer the electronic compass and the barometric altimeter features. It also has 850MB of built-in memory compared 200’s 24MB but we’re not sure how much of that space is actually free.

Another extra with Garmin Oregon 300 is the ability to share data wireless with other units.

Garmin Oregon 400i is made for the freshwater enthusiasts. This handheld GPS receiver comes with built-in U.S. Inland Lakes and a worldwide basemap with imagery. Map detail includes shoreline details, depth contours, boat ramps and mile markers for thousands of lakes in the continental U.S.

Oregon 400i has an MSRP of $640 and pretty much has the same hardware as Oregon 300. Just like 300, 400i has barometric altimeter, electronic compass, and the wireless transfer capability (neither of which is on Oregon 200).

All Garmin Oregons have sun and moon information, tide tables, and area calculation.

Garmin just recently announced Garmin Oregon 200. This model is the entry level in the Oregon series even though it costs a whopping $480. Oregon 200 is a handheld GPS receiver that comes with preloaded basemap and offers microSD card slot, and 3″ screen. It has a rugged design and it is IPX7 waterproof.

If you get Garmin Oregon 200 keep in mind you’ll probably end up spending some extra cash to buy some detailed maps. In fact you can even get turn by turn navigation directions if but detailed road maps.

It uses 2AA batteries and supposedly lasts up to 16 hours on those.
