Product Description

Delphi Mobile Navigation is your new travel companion. With state-of-the art GPS technology and a user-friendly interface, Delphi helps to get you to your final destination quickly and efficiently. Mapping a trip has never been so easy, all you need is your final destination (address, point-of-interest, or intersection) - Delphi Mobile Navigation does the rest.

Amazon.com Product Description

Need help tracking down an out-of-town business meeting or finding a museum during your out-of-state vacation? The Delphi NA10000 Mobile Navigation in-car GPS system is there to help. It features a large, bright TFT screen with full-color graphics, directional voice prompts, fast routing calculations enabled by a built-in Intel Xscale microprocessor, built-in memory for map data, and windshield- and dash-mounting solutions.

This extremely user-friendly unit provides several functions, including quickest route, shortest route, full automatic turn-by-turn directions synchronized with vehicle position, total distance to destination, and estimated time of arrival. You can search for addresses by name, street crossing, Zip Code, or center-of-town and offers memorization of favorite locations, shortcuts, and most recent locations.

The intuitive graphical user interface is powered by custom navigation software, which provides detailed street-level mapping for the 48 contiguous states and Hawaii, address-to-address routing, automatic rerouting when off-course and an extensive points-of-interest library. Large display icons and easy-to-read maps provide an operator-friendly interface for added safety while driving. The software is fully automatic and provides voice directions in addition to visual driving instructions.

The unit uses a double-disc map set of the United States (excluding Alaska), so that you can easily load your desired maps. The Delphi Mobile Navigation unit has 64 MB of internal memory available for storing maps, and it's compatible with optional Secure Digital (SD) and MultiMedia (MMC) memory cards for additional map storage (256 MB size or less).

What Is GPS?
The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a network of satellites launched by the U.S. military in the 1970s. The satellites continuously transmit accurate time and position information, which is freely used by commercial and military applications worldwide. GPS receivers, such as this Delphi unit, are designed to pick up the high-frequency radio signals from these satellites and use the information to help determine your exact location. Today, there are many applications that use GPS--from marine to automotive, aviation, and military.

There are 24 satellites in total, orbiting approximately 12,000 miles above the Earth. While a GPS receiver can detect signals from up to 12 satellites at any one time, only 3 are needed to provide the two-dimensional position (latitude and longitude), or "fix," that is required for vehicle and marine navigation systems. Aviation applications also need altitude, and therefore need information from at least four satellites.

What's in the Box
Delphi Mobie Navigation unit (NA10000), mounting materials for windshield and dash, 12/24-volt vehicle power adapter, power adapter for indoor programming, USB cable, protective carrying case, screen cleaner, 2 CD-ROMs with Delphi Mobile Navigation desktop software, SmartST in-car digital navigation software, and U.S. maps.

4 out of 5 stars Great for the money... where are the map updates.......2006-10-26

I bought mine in late 2005 and am now ready for map updates. I'd also like maps for europe so I could toss it in my suitcase... At dusk it's having a hard time finding the satellites. Sometimes it takes a couple hours. I don't understand why there is a registration process at all. We should be able to plug it in and go... All in all great... jg

4 out of 5 stars Good stuff.........2005-09-11

The shipping came in a messy package. The car adaptor was missing. There was no way of contacting the customer service. I tried it with a converter in my car. It was amazingly accurate in giving both on-screen & voice promp directions. I didn't feel like returning it & continued to use with the DC-AC converter. The maps are great. Installation was simple.
I probably wouldn't have paid the full price...It was worth buying for $ 300.00, though it was a refurbished one.

3 out of 5 stars Nice Hardware with somewhat outdated map.......2005-09-11

Overall I'm very pleased with the GPS unit. It works nicely as my auto navigator. The software interface is also very easy to operate with little need to refer to the manual. The map, however, seems outdated for at least 1-2 years. There are times I was misguided because of that. I'd like to see another update on the map. I'm not sure if it's possible but if the GPS unit can take a 3rd party software it would be perfect.

2 out of 5 stars not user friendly.......2005-09-09

I did not like this GPS receiver, because it was not very user friendly. The instruction booklet was of no use. I had to call the support line to be able to down load the maps, which should have been easy, but the instructions were not clear on how to do this from the booklet. The support line was a challenge also. You had to leave a message for someone to call you back, and it was like playing phone tag, beacause you had no idea when they were going to call back. Programming destination is very time consuming, because it was not touch screen.

1 out of 5 stars Stop!! Don't buy remanufactured and Problems too!!.......2005-08-23

Firstly remanufactured means missing parts. I didn't have the ac adapter. Then powered it in car. Problems the maps are outdated.The software is lousy it was already registed by somebody else and no key. The unit has problems after you turn it on and then start your car, it will poweroff, so again you have to go all the startup process.The Display is big enough but not all information can be selected on the same screen.The internal memory can hold only one state, even thought the manual say one entire region. As part were missing i called Delphi to check with them and he said rudely you got from amazon, we support only I purchased from them only.
Over all this was a waste of my time and now i returning it back.

Update:-
Amazon refunded promptly!! Thanks AMAZON.COM

      Panasonic's vision of the digital future is driven by the needs and aspirations of its business customers and millions of consumers around the world who use Panasonic products every day. Panasonic shares their dream to live a fuller life by providing ways of working smarter and enjoying the rewards of technological advances.

      Amazon.com Product Description

      Panasonic's KX-TG5240M utilizes the 5.8 GHz band and digital frequency-hopping spread spectrum technology for increased call security and range and for less interference. This system comes with one handset but can accommodate up to three more (for a total of four). Compatible with Caller ID/call waiting, the KX-TG5240M offers a 50-station caller ID memory and dialer, accessible through the handset's three-line backlit LCD. It also features talking caller ID, which audibly announces who's calling through the handset and base speakerphones. Rounding out the main features are an integrated digital answering system and a light-up antenna on the handset that flashes to alert you to new calls and messages. The handsets also offer a variety of ring tones and melodies to choose from.

      The KX-TG5240M allows you to pre-program frequently called numbers, even for chain dialing (ideal for calling automated systems that require a series of numeric inputs). It's also Caller IQ compatible, a service provides updates on weather, sports, horoscopes, and more; the information is sent directly to your telephone and displayed on the handset screen. (Caller ID and call waiting require subscription through your phone company. Caller IQ is a fee based service that requires registration.)

      Panasonic KX-TG5240M GigaRange Supreme 5.8 GHz DSS Expandable Cordless Phone with Answering System....

      Sorry to say....This was by far the worst product I have ordered here...not only was it a different model which I was happy to see that it was an upgrade to the one I had ordered....but I guess you get what you pay for....I tried for two days to get the handset to charge and yet no matter what I tried even as to spending another $22.00 on a battery it just woulldn't charge.It wasn't even worth my time to pack it up and send it back..So to say it was worth it to me to throw it in the garbage...It was......and $107.00 later on a new phone.. I finally realized it was worth the money to be able to use something that I paid for.

      Panasonic KX-TG5240M works great when new but not durable.

      2 out of 5 stars End of 1 Year Warranty..........2007-03-03

      ... and my answering machine - out of nowhere - started blinking like crazy, displaying an "E9" error. I was told by Panasonic it was an "internal error" and needs to be sent for repair. This repair could cost 80+ dollars. I was very disappointed as it wasn't used that frequently and I only had it 1 year and 4 months. It worked well besides that and my handsets were still working but now need a new answering machine for the handsets or I have to buy an entirely new system. :(

      5 out of 5 stars Great phone.......2007-02-08

      1 out of 5 stars Image is Everything.......2003-06-06

      The Image quality is very poor on this monitor, I suggest you purchase another brand, or at least, not this monitor. The image is fuzzy, and washed out compared to my old Tube Monitor, so I returned it and purchased another brand.

      1 out of 5 stars Ugly beyond imagination.......2003-04-15

      A very ugly monitor that gives below-average image quality. This is an old model and the contrast, which is difficult to adjust, really hurts your eyes after a few minutes. I think you'll need new glasses if you use this one. There are better products elsewhere (NEC, Kogi, etc.) for the same or better price.

      5 out of 5 stars Looking for a gaming LCD? Look no further........2003-01-24

      I must confess...after I ordered this, I wondered if I should have just invested in a less expensive CRT, especially since I play a lot of computer games, and LCD's traditionally haven't had the best reputation for gaming, due mostly to technical limitations causing "ghosting" - sort of a temporary after-image. Once this thing arrived and I plugged it in, however, any such notion vanished from my mind.

      Bear in mind that I have not had a lot of experience with LCD monitors, as I'm sure most people haven't. I did a bit of research on various sites, including this one. I had it whittled down to a few different choices and I still wasn't entirely sure which monitor I wanted to get. The swing vote came when I stumbled across CNET's recent pick (January) as this as their number one buy for a 15 inch LCD.

      The image is bright, it's crisp, and I can see textures that I never even knew were there on my old CRT. I have not one problem gaming with this. I have been playing Warcraft 3, Thief 2, and other games with this thing and they are running smoothly and better than I have ever seen them before. Actually, I should say that at fist, I thought I noticed a slight "ghosting" in Warcraft 3, but I see no such thing now, so make of that what you will; perhaps it was a case of seeing what you expect to see or something. Anyway, I have absolutely no problem playing Serious Sam: The Second Encounter, a somewhat obscure but good first-person shooter, and I notice no ghosting or anything of the sort. You can actually see extremely well in Thief 2, which is saying something since the game is quite dark by design. (I actually had problems with this darkness on my old Compaq CRT.)

      Some people have said that text does not show up right or something to that effect. My best guess is that they do not have either the monitor or their computer's display settings set to the native resolution of 1024 x 768, because the text on mine is clearer than I would have ever hoped for, and causes less eye strain than on just about any CRT in my experience. There is also software included to help get the color settings just right.

      You do need to have it adjusted to the proper angle in order to have uniform brightness from the top to the bottom of the screen, but I don't see why this should be a problem. Unless you are getting a monitor to watch DVD's on from your couch, you probably do not need a bigger LCD than this. I would even say that any bigger might be too much, unless you are planning on mounting it on a wall or something. Keep in mind that the 15 inches is the actual (diagonal) size of the viewing area, whereas when sizes are used to describe CRT's, the viewing area is less than the stated size...don't ask me why; that's just the way it is. So, if you want to know how big the screen is, get out a tape measurer and measure out 15". That is the distance from the top-left corner of the display area to the bottom-right. That is just the display area - NOT the whole monitor, which is actually slightly bigger. It's probably bigger than you would have thought.

      It even comes with a 3 year warranty on parts and labor. Some other companies' warranties, such as NEC's (according to some of the reviews I have read), allow for so many "dead pixels". To the best of my knowledge, Samsung has no such "gotcha" policy.

      All in all, I would say this is a great buy if you are in the market for a new monitor and want to jump into the twenty-first century. CRT's are still cheaper though, so it really depends on how much you want to spend.

      This is my first LCD monitor, ever...
      And I love this Samsung 151S model..!!!

      I wanted to buy a better and more recent model from
      Samsung, when I got an extra hundred dollars...
      So, I thought I would return this monitor for a better one
      when it arrives. But, when I opened it up
      and started using it... I didn't see any reason why
      I should pay hundred dollars more for another model...
      I couldn't part from this monitor after seeing how
      bright and sleek it looked on my desk...

      One downside to this model is that the response time
      of the LCD crystals isn't fast enough...which means
      you will see blurring of pixels when something scrolls
      or moves along a path... But you get used to it
      pretty quickly. Also, certain colors tend to create
      cell shading like effect on cartoons, creating lines around where two colors touch. But this is very minor..and really
      won't bother you much...although as a person doing
      graphics, it catches my eyes...

      This monitor has great color...
      With high contrast and brightness...I'm seeing more
      detail on my past graphic works and also a lot of mistakes
      I couldn't see before...

      Text is very clear, so don't even worry about that...

      Adjustment is easy and simple...but for left-handed people,
      I guess it could get irritating trying to get to the control
      placed on the right. But who in the world changes their
      monitor settings everytime they use their computer?!!

      Although some say LCD screens are not suitable for

      people who do graphics, I think this monitor is good enough
      for any computing needs... It prevents eye-strain when doing
      graphic works for hours on straight... And high contrast
      all the time means consistant color hues... This monitor does
      have a short vertical angle view, although it's the same for
      most other competitors... I guess that is the only downside to
      this monitor as a graphics person... But the newer Samsung
      models have wider angle views and higher contrast ratios, which

      should eliminate such small nags... If LCD screen isn't good
      for graphics, then why are Macs coming out various LCD screens?
      And look at the new imac..!! So don't be afraid if you heard
      such words before... LCDs are for everyone...

      The final word is...
      For the money, this is a steal~!!!
      So, if you just have to have a LCD screen now,
      but can't afford more expensive ones...but also
      don't wanna buy some [rotten] LCD you'll regret buying...

      Go right now and buy one~!! Or order from here...
      You'll love it... And you'll never go back to CRT...

      4 out of 5 stars A Great Value.......2003-05-17

      This monitor was my first excursion into the LCD market, and I am not disappointed. The image quality, sharpness, and brightness rival any CRT and the contrast is decent. Compared with the laptop monitors I've used, this Samsung is somewhat harsher on the eyes as it is more crisp. Of course, if you're using Windows XP, you'll want to use its ClearType font smoothing. In terms of latency, I can see no difference between this screen and a CRT. The Auto Adjust button is great for quickly setting up the screen's geometry. While the footpring is small, the base is slightlly unstable. Also, my monitor has a dead pixel in the middle. However, what matters most is image quality, and you will be exceedingly pleased with this LCD.

      4 out of 5 stars Among the better LCD monitors.......2003-04-21

      We took 10 of the 151s for our Internet Café.
      For 2 reasons we have chosen LCD screens over CRT monitors:
      Having a monitor running 10 hours a day adds up to the energy bill, and LCD monitors consume essentially less power than CRT monitors.
      Second, the space it takes on the desk is much less than what a CRT demands.

      Samsung has a good reputation for LCD monitors (somewhat less for CRT screens). The dead pixel rate is really low, and the color rendition and image definition is in the better range of the LCD marketplace. Overall, this monitor is an excellent deal when looking at the price-performance ratio.

      1 out of 5 stars Lots of flaws.......2003-04-15

      This is not only the ugliest-looking LCD monitor you'll find on the market today, but has one of the worst image quality measures. The pictures have shallow contrast, are not bright enough, and sport washed-out features. The viewer angle is absolutely terrible -- you can't see anything if you deviate more than 20 degrees from the center of the screen, in any of the directions! The controls don't make any sense, and the manual is not written in English. To add insult to insury, there's no customer support -- good luck if something goes wrong!

      Why anyone would buy something so bad like this is beyond my comprehension. To that fellow in Taiwan: you guys make tons of great LCD monitors, and you rated this five stars? You must be working for Smsung.

      4 out of 5 stars Good for the price.......2003-02-24

      Purchased this monitor last year. Noticed that it is not as crystal clear as a CRT, but this is true of all LCD screens. For the price, this model kicks. Check out reviews on computer sites also.

      5 out of 5 stars very nice.......2003-02-19

      I am very happy with this moniter. I will never again buy another big bulky type moniter again. It has a very sharp picture. I experinced no shadowing of any kind gaming. Seeing this why would anyone buy a big bulky noniter this is great.

        5 out of 5 stars has worked flawlessly so far WinXP home !.......2002-03-28

        It has been working without any problems so far on my laptop with Win XP Home. The drivers included on floppy were obsolete, but luckily Win XP had a better version in its database. So no installation was needed for it ! Just plug and play. Although in my opinion this peice shouldn't cost more than [$$$]! The companies making these products are ripping off laptop owners thinking all of these are bought by corporate America, which doesn't care for the price !!
        Update: I returned this back to Staples. Found another seller on ebay giving me a Belkin one brand new [$$$]with priority shipping. (This confirms my suspicion that this product should cost only around 10 bucks). So guys don't pay 40 bucks for this simple piece of hardware.

        1 out of 5 stars Easy to use solution to network add-ons........2001-11-14

        After initially thinking this to be a God send I soon found it to be straight from HELL. This items works only sparadically at best. I called tech support took 1 hour on hold. Finally technical help said, "we have had lots of reports of sparadic data flow". In laymens term, it doesn't work all the time. Software is the issue as data seems to get compacted and lost. Unless they come out with a software upgrade steer away from this.

        1 out of 5 stars Don't Use this with Linksys Router.......2001-09-03

        I bought this ethernet adaptor for my laptop to connect to a Linksys cable/dsl router (BEFSR41). The main reason was that this adaptor is a bit cheaper and comes with a CAT-5 cable.

        I installed it per instructions, even went on the net to get the latest driver (which turned out to be same as one that came with it in the box) but it just sat there, no network, no connection to the internet. After many hours messing around with it, I did get it to connect to the internet once (loaded one page) then nothing.

        I called tech support but after waiting an hour without being able to talk to a real person, I decided to give up. I returned the unit the next day, picked up a Linksys adaptor. With the Linksys adaptor, it took exactly 5 minutes to get my laptop connected and working perfectly. The moral of the story is to stick to one brand of networking devices.

        1 out of 5 stars It kept dissapearing from device manager........2001-08-28

        I couldnt get this to work, unless I uninstalled it and reinstalled it, then it would work until i rebooted my computer. After that, it would no longer be in device manager. I just bought a D-link brand one, and it works great.

        2 out of 5 stars Know the hidden requirements before you buy!.......2001-06-21

        I recommend you call Netgear and ask them if you system is compatible with this adapter before you buy. I doesn't work with certain certain chipsets (I think the VIA chipsets -- which are pretty common).

        My frustration was that I found this information out only after I'd bought the thing.

        If you're looking for an ethernet adapter for a laptop, I recommend a PCMCIA card; that was my eventual solution. They are more reliable (and faster).
