Mobile Crossing Waypoint 200 National Edition Pocket PC with GPS

Q: What do you call a calf after it's six months old?
A: Seven months old.

OK, now that we've gotten the "humor" out of the way, let's get down to the very serious business of discussing the Waypoint 200 National Edition Pocket PC GPS. Along with its its potent GPS capabilities, it's fully armed with a ridiculous array of features, accessories, and applications – and there's not a damn thing funny about that.

Wipe that grin off your face and consider this: the WayPoint 200 uses a SiRF-powered GPS chip for fast, accurate navigation, and it comes loaded with a nationwide US interstate map. You can also download more detailed regional maps from the Mobile Crossings web site – for free. The WayPoint's 128MB of internal memory is enough to hold the national map and one regional map, but you'll need a 1GB SD card (not included) to hold them all. Not laughing now, are you, Giggles?

See here – that's not the end. Not by half, jack. The WayPoint 200 is also a fully-functional Pocket PC, just chock full of apps like Pocket Word, Pocket IE, Windows Media Player, MSN messenger, and – you guessed it – more. Insert the included Bluetooth CF card into the CompactFlash slot and you'll find your way online sharpish. Seriously. You think we would ask you to pay three bills for a mere GPS unit? Do we look like we're joking?

Well, how's this: the WayPoint 200's rich blue paint job was done by the same guys that do the Sony Vaio. That get your attention?

But it's not all dandelions and cotton candy. The WayPoint's operating system (Windows for Pocket PC 2003) is on the aging side. And to turn it into a car onboard navigation system, you'll need a little know-how, a little elbow grease, and a bunch of accessories – the aforementioned Bluetooth card, a mounting bracket, and some cables. But it's all included, so I wouldn't sweat it, Chuckles.

We swear to God, if you don't knock off that giggling, one of these WayPoint 200s is going to find its way down your throat. We're here to give you the straight skinny on the WayPoint, not to tickle your funny bone. You want a laugh, call Yakov Smirnoff. You want powerful GPS and Pocket PC functions, get the Waypoint 200 National Edition Pocket PC GPS.
