Anyone Use This GPS Car Cradle for the 700w?

[evansls]

I've been searching for a good GPS car cradle for my new 700w since I now have the copilot live 6 for it. I recently discovered this "generic" model going for a great price on ebay that seems to function really well by what I can tell in its pictures. Does anyone have any experience with this GPS car cradle? I've searched for reviews about it, but found nothing about it. Below is the link to the particular item.

Note: I also found a review of the Seidio G4850 GPS Car Kit, which doubles in price, but seems to offer more features over the generic that I really don't need for more money. I'm really interested to know if the generic model is any good from those who have experienced it.

Thanks for your help,
Evan

I've tried Tom tom navigator 5 and I love it. I got an external antena for the bluetooth gps receiver and mounted it on the roof and pluged the bluetooth receiver in the trunck. now when i get in the car the receiver is always charged and locked on the satelites.

Not to minimize nor denigrate the Ebay retailers, but . . . most often you get what you pay for.

i took the plunge and purchased the generic model, so i hope to submit a reveiw after I've played with it for a week. anyone who is remotely interested in purchasing such a device for your treo + gps (tomtom/alk) in search for a cheap car kit -- keep a look out for my review here. i'll be keeping my fingers crossed if the cradle is any good!
