RUMOR - MIO 188: A LANDSCAPE PDA GPS?
 
Click to Enlarge
News on the site
Even Google doesn't seem to "know" about the Mio 188 that site visitor "CIM" kindly introduced to us today with a couple of pictures!
No specs at this point, but Mio, who shot to "GPS PDA fame" with the Mio 168, the first PocketPC with a built-in GPS receiver, seem to have shrunk the GPS antenna to the point of making it barely noticeable and are using a "symetrical design" for the PDA that allows for "natural" landscape use, like on the iPAQ hx4705.
Stay tuned for more!

| Any pocket PC running Windows Mobile 2003 can do landscape. I don't see any advantage in that for mapping anyway. |

| Do you know of any tests with the Mio168? A built-in gps can be an advantage and a disadvantage. No easy replacing. |

| Are you saying the Mio is pure GPS and no PDA function at all? I thought it runs Pocket PC or CE... |

| The Mio's come with Word, Excel, etc... plus Destinator (re-branded as Mio Map) for mapping. |

| pokecai had asked about the M5 or the Mio -- I believe (not positive) that the M5 will not support NMEA protocol. Thus, if you want to run 3rd party apps, they will have to support the Garmin protocol. |

| That is good news about the M5 -- I was hesitating on ordering one because of the non-NMEA roomer. This is a little off-topic, but can you tell if it support NMEA version 3.01? |

| NMEA Version 3.01 - (maybe 2.40) You can tell that it is using the newer version of NMEA if the GSV sentences are reporting WAAS satellite information (satellite PRNs larger than 32). VisualGPSce should be able to show that information. |
