Features
The first thing you should note about the n35 GPS is that it comes with no in-built Wi-Fi or Bluetooth support. Either of these, but not both, can be added using the expansion slot; but that's also what's used by the mapping software. This means that in order to get access the internet on the go you'll first have to shell out for an expansion card, and then constantly switch it out with the mapping card as your situation changes.
Only 55MB of the 64MB memory is free for use, though there's an extra 52MB or so available on the map SD card. The Samsung S3C2410 processor is extremely underpowered for the job at hand. Clocked at just 266MHz it struggles with the task of finding addresses and mapping out routes, which can create a lot of lead time to plan a journey in which one doesn't know if the PDA is working or if it's locked up.
