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...
Abstract: What you are looking at is both an introduction and then a full review of the HP iPAQ 310 Travel Companion. I wrote the intro after a briefing with HP where I had hands-on with the 310. It seemed an impressive device, and the first section describ...

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.

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
Gorgeous display; lots of features, including media support and Bluetooth 2.0; online trip planning
Wonky route calculation; text-to-speech feature gives unclear voice prompts; confusing menu icons; sluggish performance; cant disable navigation disclaimer; device froze, had to be reset during trips
The HP iPAQ 310 Travel Companion comes with a nice screen and loads of features, but with all its drawbacks—particularly the unreliable route calculation—were not sure youll want to take it behind the wheel. ...
Navigation is non-intuitive, Instructions are lacking, Trip planner is just a novelty, Loading media onto the device is confusing
We had a lot of problems testing the 310 Travel Companion; more problems than we’ve had with any other device in recent memory. This product feels half-baked, is not user friendly, and is frustrating to use, to say the least. We constantly felt ...
