 		 WORKS GREAT

Works great. It is loud enough on my netbook. When it shows turns I wish it would give you a better view sometimes.

 		 MP 20X

Pros: easy to learn, even for an old guy like me.
Cons: could be set up better for use without a mouse.
I have used this now for about a month. I started out with a budget netbook and then traded in for a better one. The graphics are now very good. I have compared this to another very popular laptop GPS software and Garmin is superior. Garmin is much better at the re-routing. My only bitch with both is that the software selects the most obvious route, shorter probably, but not the optimal route. Once I started onto my optimal route Garmin re-routed fairly quickly to the route I intended to take. The other software kept trying to turn me around to start over untill I got to the last part of the route it wanted me to take. I am happy so far, happier as I get more and more used to using Garmin. To learn the instructions I installed the software on my desktop as well and read the instructions on it and practiced on my netbook.

 		 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.

 		 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.

 		 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?)

 		 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.

 		 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.

 		 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!
