   Garmin Mobile PC (software only version) works with any GPS receiver; BT, USB, Garmin or not. It works also with integrated laptop receivers. It is locked to the computer not the receiver as usual. It can be installed on one computer only. If you change your mind after installation, you are out of luck. It may be possible to reset the lock by contacting Garmin support, but don’t count on that.

   The maps included cannot be updated. Your only option is to buy another copy when the newer map version is available.

   Apart from that, it is like a Nuvi with a bigger screen, specially on touch screen tablets, with the added value of Garmin Online information; flight status and hotels.

   We needed a device which would hold multiple routes. this does the job. We have a hard time believing its power and accuracy. For ordinary GPS I am sure a regular unit would be better but for our uses this is the thing. There is no way we could have afforded the more expensive units and this unit has much more coverage that Microsoft direct which misses us completely. We go through isolated areas and we are very pleased!!

   I have a Fujitsu tablet PC and, with Mobile PC running, it performs similarly to my wife’s and daughter’s Nuvis, with one exception. When entering a street address, the Garmin keyboard does pop up. Instead, I have to use the Fujitsu keyboard application which has small letter icons and I need to use a stylus instead of my finger to enter letters and numbers. I Called Garmin about this and they said the keyboard option has been disabled on Mobile PC. Because of this I’ve downgrading my ‘satisfaction’ rating from excellent to good.
