D-Link DES 3226 Managed Switch.......2005-12-16

If D-link considers this switch industrial grade they are sadly mistaken. Purchased this unit 1 year ago and it performed flawlessly 24x7 use in my data center. Now the unit burns out a power supply (internal) and is dead taking down our internet connection.

Anyone considering a robust, quality, built to last industrial/commercial grade switch better avoid this one!

D-link quality is terrible, nothing but junk as the are cheaply built in China and/or Taiwan. Avoid D-link.

Amazon.com Product Description

Better than a backseat driver and a whole lot more accurate than dad's incoherent directions, the Dual XNAV3500P GPS navigator gets you where you need to go when you need to get there. Simply search for an address/intersection, point of interest, or previous destination on the 3.5-inch touchscreen interface, and the Dual navigator will calculate the most direct route. Then, once you start driving, the unit delivers turn-by-turn directions with both voice guidance and visual left/right indicators. The system even recalculates the route and gives you new directions should you make a wrong turn.

Internally, the XNAV3500P is equipped with a 12-channel GPS receiver, a Windows CE.Net (4.2) operating system, a powerful Intel 400 MHz processor, and 64 MB of internal memory, so it has no trouble redrawing maps at high speeds. And thanks to the Secure Digital memory card slot and included 1 GB SD card, you have plenty of space to store new maps and applications. The navigator even comes with a preloaded detail map of the entire U.S., complete with two million points of interest, including airports, banks, post offices, hotels, gas stations, rest stops, and much more.

Detail-oriented drivers will dig the trip recorder--which displays the miles traveled, the average speed, and the total driving time--and the split-screen option, which shows two sets of data at once. And the crisp 3D map (320 x 240 resolution) includes both day and night views and nine scalable levels for detailed and big-picture glimpses.

The XNAV3500P is more than just a navigator, however--it also serves as a MP3 player in a pinch, so you can listen to your favorite digital tunes while driving. Simply upload songs onto the included SD card and you're set. Additional features include a sliding-style suction mount that attaches to a windshield, a carrying bag, a cigarette lighter power adapter, a rechargeable lithium-ion battery, and a 2-watt internal speaker.

The XNAV3500P measures 5.1 by 3.2 by 2.2 inches (W x H x D) and carries a one-year warranty.

Great unit.......2007-01-01

A cheaper option than the better advertised Tom Tom and Garmin systems, I think this one is just as good.

I actually bought it for my husband, but it has also proved extremely useful for me, a Brit living in the States.

The unit itself is a reasonable size, but not too big that it won't fit in my handbag when I leave the car. The screen is very clear, and the indicator lights are a great novelty, and very useful at night. The touch screen works well, the voice is clear and the maps appear to be very accurate. I recall on our first trip how we marveled at the map showing us reaching a bridge at the split second we passed under it!

It has far too many features for me to go into here, so I'll keep it short. A few things that spring to mind are it's ability to store addresses, it's flexibility if you decide to take a slight detour (eg to stop for food) it will recalculate your route, it advises you of speed limits and cautions you if you go over 5mph or so above that limit (though you can turn off those warnings!), it shows points of interest on the map as you are driving, as well as storing over 1 million points of interest that you can look up before you travel.

We have not had any major problems with it - it does exactly as it is supposed to do. One slight thing - occasionally, it will tell you to turn right or left, when the road actually has a sharp bend - or the other way around, it'll tell you to bear left or right when you actually need to make a turn that isn't quite a 90 degree turn, but we have not found this to cause any problems.

One thing it did do, on one trip - we were traveling on the interstate and decided to stop for food. Because we had just (unknowingly) passed a food stop, and it was closer to our current position than any up ahead, it tried to turn us back on ourselves. Again, not too drastic, but it could cause a little confusion. I think it just takes a bit of common sense, really. :)

Overall, I would recommend this system.

Highly recommend.......2006-01-01

This is a great product. It does everything that a navigation system should do. Touch screen, with clear instructions for door to door directions.

Do NOT Buy.......2004-11-20

I bought this to use with my GPS receiver. I never got that far. After following the (poor) directions and running software, it promptly shut my machine OFF. Not just an error message or locking Windows up, it shut the whole dang thing off. After rebooting, Windows indicated it had encountered a SERIOUS error and directed to a supposed fix from the manufacturer. I tried that and got the same result. Kachunk...off. To make matters worse, it had fried my sound card and I had to buy a new one. Boy, was I steamed.

Works great in Linux!.......2003-08-12

I love this unit and now have 2. It is the only USB-serial adapter I've found that works with no fuss under Linux. The only complaint I have is the bulkiness and the short cable supplied with it.

Pain to Install, but Good Overall.......2003-01-04

I don't know about the other OP systems, but if you are running Windows XP it is a pain to install!!! It took me 2 days before I got it running properly, and don't even think about calling tech support unless you enjoy being on hold for a half hour. When I finally got the software installed it worked out beautifully, I have not had any problems whatsoever with the adapter itself. So a few minor headached in the beginning with software installation but the over all performance of the adapter itself is excellent.

Don't waste your money........2002-11-03

I bought the -MAC version of this adapter one day at CompUSA because I needed to connect my Newton to my iMac. The first thing that I found out about it is the drivers are *very* buggy. The adapter also had to be plugged in when I booted up the iMac or the drivers wouldn't see the adapter. Same if I unplugged and replugged the adapter while the machine was running. So much for USB hot-pluggability!

Also, Belkin couldn't even be bothered to release Mac OS X drivers for this adapter. Though, considering the state of the OS 9 drivers, I don't exactly know if I'd want them.

All in all, you'd be better off with one of the USB-Serial adapters from Keyspan. (USB-PDA or High Speed) I'm going to pick one up as soon as my budget allows.

Extension Conflicts Abound.......2001-03-15

I bought the Belkin Express hub because it looked neat & the lights indicating functional USB devices were important. However, over a year after buying it Belkin still has not made available software that will work with OS 9. Belkin's extensions for the Mac conflict with most other USB device extensions, including Apple's. In order to get this thing to work, I have to unplug it, start the computer, then plug it in after start up, use the device I want, then unplug it after I'm finished with the device. Otherwise, all my settings get mysteriously changed (Remote Access, printer selection, modem selection). If you want to use it for a Palm device or an older printer, use Keyspan's adapters instead. I have one & have had much fewer problems with it than this thing, The installer also installs a mysterious "printer patch" file on your hard disk, but gives you no indication where this file should be or what it does. The lights were helpful to a certain extent in that they blink to let you know that a signal has been sent to the device, however there are 4 green lights & 1 red light on each unit, regardless of how many items you can plug into it & there is no documentation that explains what different light combinations or blinking means, so you have to guess. This item is also more expensive than most of the other hubs/adapters out there & in this case you don't get what you pay for.
