The Kirrio cradle and Bluetooth reciever are decent enough pieces of hardware but the bundle as a whole is severaly let down by the ViaMichelin Mapsonic software. It's shortcomings might have been forgivable a couple of years ago, but compared to current competition it’s extremely dissapointing. It does the otherwise decent Zire 72 PDA no favours and as a GPS bundle I can only recommend avoiding it. The Tom Tom GO is a far superior GPS device. For those who want a PDA as well, the Pocket PC based Mio 168 is a good choice, while for those set on a Palm OS based device you’d do well to consider the Garmin iQue or a Tungsten T3 with Tom Tom Navigator 3 instead.
Overall
5/10
