Its 512MB of built-in memory also allows for tracking signals and storage of large amounts mapping data.

 Rating:  - Amazon needs to post the compatibility listI've had problems with different BT GPS receivers and decided to look into the CF and SD interface options. Reading the reviews on this product and shopping elsewhere, Amazon has failed to provide the manufacturer's compatibility list for this device. If your PDA isn't there, don't buy it. I can't say "buy it" if it is there. I've decided to update this review with the latest data from GlobalSat. Still, Buyer Beware and make sure you have updated drivers from them. Check your device and OS! ... Read More Rating:  - Buy only if you want to waste your money.The SD-502 seems to be a great product if it worked. I purchased itin October 2006 for about $145.00 and installed it on a Dell X3. The install was flawless and it latched onto satellites very quickly. I loved it. It was sooo easy.

Tested these devices with Pocket Streets and Trips 2006 and they worked perfectly. I keep the MAPS on the 512MB SDIO card of the GPS receiver. I prefer using the iPaq hx2790b ... Read More Rating: - Absolutely horribleI concur with the previous reviewer. This GPS is a piece of junk. I received it as a gift for my birthday, and it never worked right. Only about once in 50 tries does the Palm recognize the GPS, and even then, it "disappears" after about 5 minutes. I even did a hard reset on my Palm Treo 700w and installed only the Street Atlas Handheld software and the GPS driver and that didn't work.
