The iPaq 310 was pretty awful at route recalculations
And the voice prompts werent very loud or clear.
3D maps slow things down
Hard to look up POIs
Navigation screen cluttered with unnecessary data
Power connects to device directly
Not via mounting bracket. Text on the bottom of the screen is a bit small.
Navigation is non-intuitive
Instructions are lacking
Trip planner is just a novelty
Loading media onto the device is confusing
No third party software allowed
Some errors in the TeleAtlas database (at least in my immediate area)
Poor battery life
Long charge times
Awkward interface with minimal options to set the software
Windshield mount wouldn’t hold to the glass
Spades of extras deep operating system = steep learning curve. Toggling between features often causes menu to temporarily stall. Only two measly gigs of included memory? Looks like were not giving up our iPods anytime soon.

In the GPS world, real 3D maps are the equivalent to Dick Tracys watch for communication. And of all the Garmins, Magellans, and TomToms on the market, were a little surprised that HP is the first to get them integrated into its iPAQ 310 Travel Compa...

Despite a sleek design and an attractive feature set, the HP iPaq 310 Travel Companion shows an ugly side with inaccurate route recalculations and poor voice directions that makes us say pass for now.

Abstract: Overall, it\'s a good step on the right road for these class of devices and while useful and practical, it hasn\'t quite bridged the gap between GPS and personal assistant.
The HP iPaq 310 Travel Companion is good-looking hardware that handles navigation basics fine. But until the extras work better, its not worth the high price. Yardena Arar ...
