Reviews of the Pharos Traveler GPS 525

CNET Review
The Good: Tiny and pocket-friendly, the Pharos Traveler GPS 525 has a powerful GPS receiver that doesn't require a fold-out antenna. It also comes with lots of maps, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth, and it has solid battery life.
The Bad: The Pharos Traveler GPS 525's screen is too small to use in a car, its audio is about as bad as it gets, and without a hold switch, it can inadvertently be turned on in a bag, leaving you with a dead battery.
The Bottom Line: Maps and personal data go hand in hand with the Pharos Traveler GPS 525, a PDA that effectively combines organization with navigation to not only find where you are but also point you where to go.
