The Rand McNally StreetFinder Deluxe GPS for Palm III may not give you new direction in life, but you may never have to ask for directions again.
Note: This item does not work with the Palm IIIc.

You thought cell phones made drivers dangerous..........2002-10-23
People attempting to use this thing while driving should have to mount flashing strobes on top of their vehicle. I bought this thing last year (when it was already a few years old) to use with my IIIxe. Why? Because I'm an impulse buying gadget freak. I should have researched more. I only paid [money], as I ordered it new from the marketplace sellers...but sadly, it's not even worth that.
The software doesn't seem to play nice with 98SE or XP...it seems to have a limit on the number of commands you can issue before it crashes out...completely wiping the map you spent an hour customizing. On the Palm, the maps are hard enough to read sitting on the couch...reading them in the car takes some serious visual acuity...we're talking some breed of hawk, here. I had to ask my girlfriend to drive around town just so I could fiddle with the device from the passenger seat.
I don't think I've used it since that day. It just takes up room in my glove compartment. And lastly, no...this thing will not fit in your pocket. Maybe if you frequently carry VHS tapes around in your jeans you won't notice...but I can barely stand my Palm in my pocket by itself. The GPS adds a few inches and about half a pound to the package.
If you really want a GPS, you'll be willing to spend the money on a real one. Stay away from this thing. Just go tear up some money if you have the urge to order it....
Look Elsewhere - Not Ready for Primetime.......2002-04-11
I bought this product because I have a Palm IIIxe and wanted a GPS system I could use while traveling. Boy was I disappointed!! The bundled StreetFinder Deluxe 2000 PC software lacks sufficient detail to be useful. (It couldn't find my own address, while other software - notably Microsoft's Street & Trips - has no problem.) Whole neighborhoods are missing! You can download little subsets of your maps to the Palm, but because the PC software lacks detail, the Palm version really leaves a lot out to save on memory space. Going to Rand McNally's website doesn't help - there doesn't seem to be a way to upgrade the maps, so you're stuck with what you have (which isn't much.) I also had problems with the GPS. It is suppose to work on its own battery when fully charged, but I can only get it to work with the Palm when it is plugged into the cigarette lighter. When the GPS does work, the Palm StreetFinder software and downloaded map crashes a lot, requiring a complete system reset on the Palm (not fun to do while you're driving.) You also have to go through the Palm menu system to enable/disable the GPS (not fun while you're driving and the GPS is mounted to your windshield!) I would really stay away from this product, save your money, and look elsewhere. This doesn't live up to the claims. Rand McNally should just stick with paper maps.
Manual for how to Use GPS for Palm III.......2002-01-24
I have now had the GPS for the Palm III for a month and still not able to make it work! Help desk is only open M-F 8-5 and thus not able to call to get much help as you need to be outside and talk to them to see if it is working.
The first thing I had to do after loading the software on the computer was to download an update to the software. Still have never been able to make it work. Instructions are very poor.
Guess this Is why there are only 2.5 stars!
A Good Product, but Some Surprises..........2001-10-19
This is generally a good product, but there are some surprises one need to be aware of:
1. It is not a fully functional GPS for someone who likes technical details. I expected to find out how many satellites it was tracking, etc. It only tells you if you have a signal or you don't. It frustrating if you want to know if you have several satellites in your particular area for future comparison when in the same area you can't get a signal.
2. The maps are good and easy to load, but you have to be careful with balancing the size of the map and available memory. It's easy to fill up Palms with 2MB of memory. Serious users will need 8MB of memory.
3. I found that the palm will connect maps if they overlap. A pleasant and unadvertised surprise when I had a map of Arlington adjacent to Washington DC.
4. The antenna for the palm III has a very snug fit, and anything on the back of it will push it out and break the connection with the palm. I was disappointed since I had a Velcro strip glued to the back of mine that I had to remove.
5. The window/dash mount is a good one. The problem with using this while driving is that you can't safely use a stylus and some of the buttons are too small to push without hitting several at once. Small, steady fingers or long finger nails help for quick adjustments while driving.
6. This is for road use. I haven't seen any topographical maps (for camping) or marine charts for boating.
7. When you have a signal, it is incredibly accurate. I always saw accurate tracks of my position going up on ramps/exits and when crossing a street on foot.
The product was good, but not up to commercial use. It is missing several features found in marine GPS like bearings to waypoints, course over ground, speed over ground, etc. It was great for finding that friends house deep in a confusing part of town or when coming out of the subway.
bad design.......2001-05-07
Do not buy this GPS. It is a nightmare of craftsmanship. Not only it takes years to lock on to satellites, it loses signal quite often. The street finder software is good for nothing. It generates huge maps and takes long times. The physical properties of this GPS are not good either. It is made of soft plastic that breaks with minor stress. Mounting a plam on a GOS is not a good idea. When the car moves, using stylus becomes quite a challenge. Deserves zero star.

Monster HDMI Cable .......2007-12-26
Saved and got more suitable size buying online instead of retail. Timely delivery. Would do again.
Save yourself some blog reading, it's a good cable.......2007-12-18
I bought a Samsung 4065F at Fry's in Orange County as well as a $70 2m Monster 500 series cable just because the guy recommended it: "It's what I use at home," (sure). Then I went to Time Warner and traded in my old box for a high definition box, and showed the guy the cable. He said, "It's just a cable, shop around," and he added that they usually install using component cables and he in fact gave me some. Then I started to read on the Internet all about how Monster cables are a hoax and all, and finally took the cable back and got a $25 one on sale for $20. It was awful! My 16-year-old son and my wife could tell instantly. I tried component cable, and it helped somewhat with the sound, but it still didn't hold a candle to the Monster. I measured and figured I only needed 1 meter of cable, so I returned the cheap HDMI cable and got a 1m 700 series Monster cable for the same price as the 2m 500 series. Again, we're completely dazzled by the look (and the sound) of our Samsung 1065F. The 700 did not perform any better than the 500, but maybe we're buying some future protection in case TW ever pushes out a true 1080p signal (it's now 720p, 1080i). There may be great cables out there for a better price, but please just trust your eyes and ears and don't waste too much time reading Internet blogs.
Take the good with the bad.......2007-12-12
I bought two of these for my new Samsung 4071f HDTV, and Panasonic blu ray player. Put one on the HDTV that worked great, but when I plugged the blu ray one in, the player gave me a code for a defective HDMI cable. The screen would flicker randomly.
I thought for sure that there would be no problems buying a product like this online, but now I'm not so sure.
Great cable, but not worth the $$$.......2007-12-11
It's great cable, but not worth the $$. I bought this one and compare it with the monoprice cable (
<$6 vs $80), I saw no noticable difference. And after seeing the eye diagram that some one done the comparison with monoprice vs monsters, I'm convince the more expensive one won't be any better. Check it out on google for the comparison, a very good one.
Worth the money.......2007-12-09
This cable is awesome. I'm using it for my PS3 to watch Blu-Ray movies and play games on my Vizio 1080p HDTV. Picture is way more sharper and brighter with this cable than with ordinary HDMI cable I have. A bit pricey, but if you want the best this is it. Would definitely recommend it to my friends.

Easy to use.......2007-12-30
Great phone, easy to use, but speaker is not very loud on the other end. You can hear pretty good, but the other caller cannot.
just what we needed.......2007-12-22
I am 46 and in need of reading glasses. The display is large and glasses are not needed for the buttons (which are actually a little oversized) or the display. Speaker option works fine.
GE Bug Button Phone.......2007-12-09
Very nice easy to operate phone, we bought 2 sure makes things a lot more easier having a good working, good sounding phone next to the chair/sofa/tv/computer room/office you spend lots of time.
big button speaker phone.......2007-11-30
My mother is 97.THe big buttons help her call out. The speaker phone allows her to talk on the phone. Serves us very well
simple well done.......2007-11-04
I like the big buttons and the caller id has large display. Easy to use. I do not know about the speed dial buttons seems to me that it is more complicated than it is worth to use. I have two of these phones and I am happy with how they work.

NavCalc - GPS Navigational Calculator NavCalc allows you to perform the following complex calculations : - If you know the coordinates of two points you can calculate the bearing and distance between the two. - If you know the coordinates of one point, as well the bearing and distance to a second unknown point, then you can calculate the coordinates of the second point. - If you know the coordinates of two points, and the bearing from each to a third unknown point, then you can calculate the coordinates to the third point. NavCalc also has the following features: - It automatically remembers the last coordinates you entered. This allows you to switch to another application (for example the calculator) and return right back to where you were before. - It has a built in converted to convert between ddd.dddddd, ddsmm.mm or dddmm.ss formats. This means you can enter data exactly as its displayed on your GPS for more convenience. - It allows you to save an recall waypoints.
