Seidio G4850 GPS Car Kit
Mon Nov 21, 2005 - 5:41 PM EST - By James Hromadka
Conclusion

The Seidio G4850M Car Kit makes the Treo 650 an indispensable driving tool. With an excellent GPS receiver and a good speaker for voice commands, the person riding "shotgun" will never have to be the navigator for you again on those long trips. If the mic was a little better, this cradle would give my iPod car cradle serious competition for the single cigarette lighter spot in my car. Of course the G4850M will only work in the car, so users that want to be able to leave the car behind and do some hiking or biking will need to look at one of the other GPS bundles available.

The G4850M Car Kit retails for $289.95 and the Tom Tom bundle is $399.95. Both kits are currently available at significant discounts. The G4850M car kit is on sale for $ 219.95 ($ 70.00 off), and the bundle that includes Tom Tom 5 is$ 299.95 ($ 100.00 off).
