that goes into my Dell Axim X5 Basic CF slot. I have 256 MB of Secure Digital storage in the SD card slot.

I paid $179 and with the Axim it is a really nice combo.

Likes and dislikes about this card

+) has an external antenna connector
+) installation was a breeze. Worked instantly
+) external antenna included
+) card offers a powersave mode

-) sticks out very far out of the CF slot (mechanical instability!)
-) no full GPS navigation software included

I haven't tested it much so far, but the unit will go on a USA cross country drive in about a week. Any software suggestions for such a trip?
