Sledge Calgary, AB November 14, 2009	PRETTY GOOD I have also used iGuidance and Streets and Trips. I was intrigued by all the highly rated garmin products so went with the 20x for my netbook. I expected better graphics and am disappointed. They are just adequate for the area I work in, outskirts of Calgary AB. The graphics for the University campus are poor as well so I expect I'll find other shortcomings. The residential area where I live is very good. I have to keep the Garmin 20X, I don't have a return option otherwise I would be exchanging it. I am exchanging my netbook for a higher quality and slightly bigger one so I am hoping that will improve the brightness. My netbook is difficult to see when it's bright out so I'm considering swapping it, I do have the option. 6 out of 11 viewers found this review helpful. Was this review helpful to you? Yes No

Denis Viscount Sask November 9, 2009	MOBILE COMPUTER GPS Pros: good functional layout Cons: occasional software lock up This product met my expectations in all respects except for the occasional time when the software suddenly ceases to function and has to be closed and reopened. I like the ease of use and the accuracy. 10 out of 21 viewers found this review helpful. Was this review helpful to you? Yes No

Gary Walled Lake, MI April 22, 2009	GREAT, BUT BE CAREFUL... Pros: easy-to-see screens while mobile, even on netbook The product works fine and the user screens are well done, but - the cable seems too short for easy mobile use (add a USB extension) - the GPS20x is not NMEA format, so to use it with other NMEA programs you have to find and use Garmin's Spanner.exe to translate to NMEA and send it to a "virtual" COM port(s)(neat idea) - if you buy Mobile PC with the GPS20x, you can't use other GPS's (but no unlock key is required) - if you buy Mobile PC without the GPS, NMEA units should work fine (software unlock key is needed?) 44 out of 85 viewers found this review helpful.

MacGyver Canada April 20, 2009	GARMIN MOBILE PC WITH GPS 20X Pros: good gps unit Cons: limiting software GPS 20x is a good GPS unit. The Mobile PC software leaves something to be desired. It is essentially handheld software on a laptop. The options that were available on n'Route are not in this software. Things like repeat prompt using space-bar, or setting level of prompts are not available in Mobile PC. For n'Route users like myself, this will be a disappointment. 41 out of 79 viewers found this review helpful. Was this review helpful to you? Yes No

Gerald Rosebery Niagara on the Lake ON January 6, 2009	GENERALLY GOOD BUT QUIRKY The Garmin software is exceptionally easy to use and the GPS receiver works very well, even indoors. The maps are a little out of date and if you drive on roads that the software does not recognize it goes berserk and eventually locks up the computer (Vista). It also has no "pause" option so deviations from the route get you whined at by the software. It needs a Pause and Resume button (F Function key?) that allows you to stop the software and then resume it when you get back to its expected route. It is, however, generally accurate if the do what it wants you to do. 76 out of 155 viewers found this review helpful. Was this review helpful to you? Yes No

E.V. December 10, 2008	ALMOST PRO: The GPS 20x Sensor works very well. CON: Unfortunately, Garmin does not allow "ALL" of their great maps to work with this sensor. CONCLUSIONS: It's just not worth it to drag a laptop around. I would skip this unit as an all purpose GPS moving map set up for mobile purpose (Car or RV), unless the laptop is a miniature 7" screen type that works on 12 VDC only! 91 out of 166 viewers found this review helpful.
