my brother in law has one...
we took it out on my boat last weekend and it worked great. It even told me the speed of the boat. I wasn't so sure about the accuracy of the speed function so I checked it in my car and it was only 1 to 2 mph off. We were able to zoom up on the maps and see our drift patterns while fishing. All in all it was a pretty cool thing to have.

The accruacy of GPS is such that I'd say the speedometer in your car was only off 1 to 2 mph.

Hello
I have a HCT Droid Incredible and use the GPS all the time. Its works great and using google maps. I was on a huge lake and couldnt find the ramp. Maybe too much sun for the day as well. It showed me right were to go.
Hope this helps.
