This is HPs second-generation GPS unit, following up on last years iPAQ 5900. That model was essentially a Personal Data Assistant (PDA) that incorporated GPS functionality using maps supplied by TomTom. Now HP has developed its own navigation softwa...

Audio quality lacks clarity, Route recalculations are circuitrous, Windshield dock isnt the best.

Overall, it\'s a good step on the right road for these class of devices and while useful and practical, it hasn\'t quite bridged the gap between GPS and personal assistant.

Poor software design and usability undermine the high-quality hardware of the HP iPaq 310 Travel Companion GPS Device. Although HP has been creating GPS-enabled iPaq handhelds for a few years, its latest device is the first to attempt real competiti...
The HP iPaq 310 Travel Companion is good-looking hardware that handles navigation basics fine. But until the extras work better, its not worth the high price. Yardena Arar...

Overall I like this GPS a lot. It has a great looking GUI, a beautiful screen, a good hardware layout and it is packed with features. I was bummed out about my phone working, but wont hold it against the GPS. Using the GPS is easy; it is really accur...

Batman has Robin, Sherlock has Watson. Hell, even Mr. Burns has his ever-attentive Smithers. So its reasonable that globe-hopping travelphiles should have an equally dedicated, trustworthy, loyal accomplice, right?One of the best guides weve found (b...
2D and 3D map options are clean and easy to read. GPS tracking while on foot or in a vehicle works without a digital hiccup. Multiple voice and language options. Scrollwheel controller makes zooming in on maps smoother than a Barry White album.
Spades of extras deep operating system = steep learning curve. Toggling between features often causes menu to temporarily stall. Only two measly gigs of included memory? Looks like were not giving up our iPods anytime soon.

HP iPAQ 310 HP (NYSE:HPQ) isn’t totally new to the GPS market, but in the past they have approached GPS from more of a PDA perspective. That has changed with the introduction of the HP iPAQ 310 which is built more like a traditional PND. This GPS is...

I watched Chris unbox the HP 310 Travel Companion here. I’m not going to add a lot of screenshots of the system in this review, for two reasons: 1) it doesn’t have the ability to take screenshots natively and you cannot install any third party softwar...
Excellent screen (800 x 480 pixels), Quick routing/rerouting, Typical POI database, customizable, Pleasant voices...
No third party software allowed, Some errors in the TeleAtlas database (at least in my immediate area), Poor battery life, long charge times, Awkward interface with minimal options to set the software, Windshield mount wouldn’t hold to the glass...

When you boot up just about any device from HP, you get a splash screen exclaiming, "HP Invent." This may be pure marketing shtick, but in the case of the new HP iPAQ 310 Travel Companion, its actually true: The device offers innovation that its com...
Powerful dual-core Titan processor. High-resolution widescreen display. Forty-channel GPS receiver. Excellent 3D rendering. Buildings rendered in 3D in 40 U.S. cities. Multisegment routing.
Power connects to device directly, not via mounting bracket. Text on the bottom of the screen is a bit small.

In the GPS world, real 3D maps are the equivalent to Dick Tracys watch for communication. And of all the Garmins, Magellans, and TomToms on the market, were a little surprised that HP is the first to get them integrated into its iPAQ 310 Travel Compa...

The new iPAQ 310 Travel Companion is for those who liked HPs original Travel Companion, the iPAQ 5900, but felt that device was perhaps not quite focused enough. See, the rx5900 sort of tried to be both a Pocket PC in landscape format and also a m...
