And now for today's product review: First Look: Cobra's Imperfect
Portable Automobile GPS
Cobra's NavOne 300 GPS navigation system has some unique plusses: You
can easily move it between cars; you can beam addresses directly from
a PDA; and it contains an internal gyroscope that helps keep you on
course if the satellite signal is temporarily lost. But the device is
hampered by some significant shortcomings that make it hard to
recommend.
