Pocket PC Thoughts: A Truly Pocketable All-In-One Package - The Pharos Traveler GPS 525 (Part 1)

Introduction
As an unabashed gadget freak, I’d always lusted after having a GPS unit like the one my sailing friends had, to help navigate through unfamiliar cities and possibly find new ways of getting from A to B within my own stomping ground. And, while I’m not a convergence fiend (I still like to have my cell phone separate from my Pocket PC), I thought my ultimate ‘pocket companion’ would include GPS capability along with everything in my Pocket PC (plus an FM Radio would be nice…:)).

When Pharos contacted Pocket PC Thoughts about doing a review of the Traveler 525 at the beginning of March, I jumped at the chance. Here would be an opportunity to work with a unit that combined everything I was looking for in my next generation Pocket PC. Not only could I use it for the day-to-day management of my consulting work, but it could also help with navigation around the city and on business trips to other parts of Canada.
