Besides working as a contributing editor here, I also do some consulting for some companies, including Everything Mobile, a GPS store. (That’s one reason you haven’t seen me posting as much here lately.) To build online visibility, we’re having a sale on the Mobile Crossing WayPoint Pocket PC GPS system, a product I use every day.

The WayPoints are designed primarily for GPS usage, but are still fully functional Pocket PCs. Both models have similar specifications, except where noted in the model descriptions below. The common specs include:

Intel 400 MHz XScale processor

Windows Mobile 2003 OS

64 MB RAM (41.68 MB available to the user, 20+ MB set aside to speed up map processing)

GPS software in ROM (so you never have to worry about a hard reset wiping out your software)

128 MB flash RAM built-in for map storage (so you never lose your maps)

All U.S. maps activated

USB desktop cradle with extra battery charging slot

A full in-car kit including an amplified GPS mount, cigarette lighter adapter and windshield suction arm

The software does everything you’d expect from good GPS navigation software multiple destination types, moving maps, turn-by-turn directions, voice prompts, etc.

There are two models available:

The WayPoint 100 includes a Compact Flash GPS card and sports a silver case with white accents. The sale price is $506.99 (normally $574.00).

The WayPoint 200 includes a Compact Flash Bluetooth card (usable in a laptop, too) and Bluetooth GPS receiver, one-year subscriptions to traffic and weather services and looks awesome in a dark blue case with black accents. The sale price is $623.99 (normally $799.00).

Plus, if you order using this promotion, we’ll preinstall any region you want on the WayPoint (in addition to the nationwide major highway Long Haul region). Check out the list of regions and let us know which one you want.

As I said, I use a WayPoint 200 every day, and it works very well. If you have an older Pocket PC without GPS, or if you’re looking to get a GPS system for your car or a friend’s car, this would be a great choice.

To order these and get the discount, just call Everything Mobile at 1-866-680-2041 Monday through Friday, 8:30 AM to 5:30 PM Pacific time, and tell them Pony sent you. This offer is not available using the Web site and will be good through September 30.

NOTE: There will also be shipping charges, and orders shipped to California will also be charged 8.25% sales tax.
