Limited Functionality Disappointing
Ok. So I don't know too much about wine, but I was hoping that this little piece of software might help me. And I have to say that is does have basic information, but there are some glaring things that could have been done to make this program a whole lot better. First, I have the 2004 version, and the white wines I've been buying are mostly 2002 vintage, but the database is VERY limited on 2002 information. Secondly, the software has a personal "cellar" where you can keep your own information, and a wine database of all wines, but it didn't occur to the programmers that it might be useful to connect these two databases to each other. This means that if you want to add wines to your cellar, you have to manually enter all the information, instead of just selecting the wine from their database. It also means if you want to see what the rating is for one of your wines, you have to search for it separately in the other database. Third, the search capability has bugs. Search for a Riesling and it doesn't return all of them. Finally, the "Classic Wine Pairings" is very limited. Doesn't even listed Chardonnay. (Or maybe Chardonnay goes with everything???) In short, this piece of software underperforms for the price.

Not great.
Although it lists many wines, it also is missing many common wines. You must have more memory than a PalmIII to install the program on your palm, and if you are using a AAA powered Palm, it drains them during hotsync. My favorite feature is the listinf of vintages and which years are good to drink.

A must! (if you love wines and own a Palm)
I hardly give a product 5 stars. This case, it surely deserves it. I mean, come on, do you remember the wine ratings for each region by year? What about peak ratings? Haven't you ever drank a wine and found out later it was two years away from peak maturity?

If you do care for these things (and you must if you ever spend more ...bucks for a bottle) you owe yourself to get a copy of this program ...

One of the most useful items it the ability to add a wine to your cellar either manually or from the excellent wine reviews (Summer 2002 included.)

Add this to your Zagat Restaurant Guide for PDAs and people will be calling you to dine out... Wish they'll come up with a PocketPC version soon.
Enjoy. ... Read more

Solus Pro mapping software for Palm OS handhelds is an affordableprogram for the PDA user on the go. This useful program from DeLorme offerscomprehensive, communicative maps with all of the important information that youneed to be well organized, while on the road or navigating through your ownhometown.

Installing Solus Pro can be a bit tricky. In most cases of installing PDAsoftware, the user expects the necessary components to install automaticallyafter a sync operation. However, with this application, the user must enter theprogram, and manually add Solus Pro and any desired maps to the sync list.

After it has been installed, Solus Pro is an extremely valuable program. Tendifferent cities are available to download to your Palm OS device, accompaniedby a Web site within which any user can find just about any place in the U.S.The user can access detailed vector maps and directions for quick searching;find streets, addresses, and address-book contacts; zoom to five levels;customize maps; and control the map features that are best to display for eachuser. One drawback is that this program probably shouldn't be used in a hurry,as it can be a bit slow--most likely, because of the high level of detail.Additionally, be careful of your free memory--each city can take up asignificant amount of space.

If you're looking for a high-tech way to avoid having to ask for directions,Solus Pro offers one in this reliable, highly customizable navigation solution.--Kendra Hayden ... Read more

what maps work
before anyone orders solus pro program they need to read about it and see what delorme maps will work with it after it is install into your pda. all of their maps does not have zoom support

Works decently with provided maps, poorly with downloaded
One of the things I was really looking forward to as a new Palm owner was having maps on my Palm. I found Solus Pro 2.0 at a nearby store and picked it up, thinking it was just the thing. Well, I'm a bit disappointed, and here's why:

First, reading a map on your Palm is a lot harder than reading a printed map, for some reason. Expect to be disoriented a lot.

The maps on the CD work pretty well (I was using the San Francisco map). I could find places to go reasonably well. My biggest gripes are the speed (slooow), and the fact that street names don't always follow the street. For example, if I look up a street that runs the length of the city, and then zoom in on it, it's name is not necessarily displayed any longer. This was very frustrating when zoomed far in, as few if any of the streets I was looking for were labelled.

... I downloaded a map of the city I live in, and found it fairly useless. Zoomed out, it displays no streets. Zoomed in, many streets simply have no name. The size of the map is also very limited, and no location (businesses, restaurants, etc.) data is included.

Overall, this is a decent product for the maps that are included on the CD. I'd hesitate to recommend it's use outside of those areas. And I'm still looking for that ultimate mapping software package... ... Read more

Jules Verne may have proposed the whirlwind 80-day journey around theworld, but he would have been on the road a lot sooner had he used Handmark'sTravel Assistant. A combination of several unique applications, Travel Assistanthelps to arrange and organize your travel plans, make sense of foreign lands,and communicate with the natives.

Planning your trip is a straightforward process with the itinerary application,albeit somewhat confusing as to the language used for information (for example,a vendor is never defined, and we're still not sure what it really means). Butthe itinerary function does allow for a logical display of your information,sorting by airline reservations, rental car information, and lodging plans onseparate pages. Additionally, the itinerary offers the ability to plan severaltrips at once and categorizes each accordingly, which is good fordifferentiating between the family's summer vacation and your company's annualretreat.

Once your bags are packed and you're on the road, you can check in with theTravel Mate, a skinny, all-purpose reference tool. It offers clothing sizes(ranging from suits to women's dresses, including UK, U.S., and European sizes),currency conversions (which you can update manually at will), and standardconversions (temperature, distance, volume, and weight).

Rather than rely on hotel personnel to help you meet your tour group on timewith a wake-up call, use the SuperClock, a large display time (approximately oneinch high and very bold) that makes an ideal bedside clock. Alarm settings allowfor a basic alarm sound, varying days (such as weekdays only), and acustomizable snooze function.

Still, the most compelling reason to purchase this application is the translatorfunction, which will undoubtedly serve as your traveling language coach andconstant companion. With 39 languages available, users can select up to nine ata time, so hopping from country to country is no sweat. We found a pleasantsurprise after installing Spanish and Yiddish: words are sorted by types thatinclude directions, shopping, places, and much more. Even though the translatoroffers no pronunciation help, we found that the selection of words and theaccompanying look-up function would prepare travelers for interculturalcommunication.

By combining travel dictionaries, scratch-paper notes on confirmation numbers,and day-to-day plans, Travel Assistant proves to be useful for both the businesscommuter and the leisure traveler.--Emilie Dirks ... Read more

No way to chose which platform to download
This was for Palm OS and the OS is compatible with both WIN and Mac. I am sure it is a good program, but there is no way to chose which parent platform to download for. I did not find out there were two different downloads until after I paid the money and try to install it and asking customer support. SO BE CAREFUL IF YOU OWN A MAC, THEY WILL ASSUME YOU OWN A WINDOWS MACHINE AND HAVE YOU DOWNLOAD ITS SOFTWARE!!

hook, line and sinker?
How can the Handmark (formerly Palmspring) company sell this as full retail product specifically labelled on the outside as NOT shareware, and nothing printed inside says otherwise, but after installation it says it is a limited use DEMO which you have to pay more to unlock? If this is not bait and switch, then is it not fraud? Why isn't there any review online warning other new victims/buyers? I must not be the only one who has experienced this, as Handmark NOW has an "instructions" web page (after the fact again) that says its newest "Gulliver" version ships Demo!

Travel Assistant 1.1 by Handmark, Inc
This product supports me on my travels with my palm (I use the new m505), I could not keep up with all of the information that this application can do for me. A MUST buy for anyone that is using the palm and is traveling. The language translater application is one of the best parts of this application, and the 24 hour travel alarm keeps me on time. All over the world. Do not miss this one for your palm. ... Read more

Be Careful
This product has many wonderful maps to use with a COMPUTER but BEWARE you can't load the maps onto a GPS so unless you want to carry a laptop on your next hike - skip it. The product information is misleading by stating the program has the the ability to load maps to a "device" apparently this does not include a GPS so I ask what's the point? What a disappointment.

Too many CDs!
Which would you prefer? 17 different CDs to keep track of and constantly switch in and out of your computer, or 1 or 2 DVDs? This product may be good, but I made a mistake by not waiting until it came out on DVD.

Excellent Topo
I bought this for desert and mountain 'off road' exploration and camping. In that capacity, I am completely satisfied with its seemless scrolling, map labelling and GPS downloading features. I can plan my routes, mark and print the highly detailed maps, and have it ready to go. Upon return, I can add small non-descript roads, trails, mine locations, etc that I find in the field via my GPS. I used to spend 20 to 30 dollars for paper topo's for outback trips. Now, I'll literally save hundreds with this software. And because this software doesn't require mega 3D computer capabilities, I actually installed this software in an old Pentium 1, with a 130 meg processer, and it works flawlessly! Now, I have put my old, and (formerly) no longer used computer to work in the garage for my trip planning. Something I couldn't do with the Regional State Series because of it's computer system requirements. The only potential drawback to this software is the lack of level 5 mapping. This software actually goes to 1:25,000 scale, but the only difference I can ascertain from pure 'level 5' is the missing gridlines and details. This system includes elevation cross section detail, and for my purposes, that makes up for any missing level 5 details. Comparatively, Delormes Atlas's are 1:150,000 scale, this software is full level 4 or 1:100,000 scale... and 1;25,000 as well, it's awesome. And if you really need to get closer, you can zoom the area you want. Overall, if you must have the level 5, which is 1:25,000 scale with level 5 detail, get the regional or state series sofware. But for the price, with 50 states of seemless 1:100,000 topo, and the system requirements, this software is exceptional. Tred Lightly! ... Read more

AWEASOME! But one or two drawbacks.....
This thing is AWEASOME! I alwyas am in situations where people want to know how to define a word. This thing works PERFECTLY! It's also brand new so all the words I know are in it. Nothing is left out. It includes all of those dirty words for you people who have to have a dictionary w/them :-p.

For it's size and content i rate this thing 4 stars. Unfortunetly it could do w/some color for you people who have to have Color in everything, like me. It also includes no pictures but thats ok. It loads a little slow like all cards you slip into the expansion slot but yoru talking maybe 5 seconds to open the dic. or thes. which isn't really a big deal.

I highly recommend this thing, though if palm wanted it to get 5 stars, they have to work on color.

Very functional and informative
this is the main reason why I went with a Palm handheld rather than with the Sony models, which have palpably better picture.

The only idiosyncrasy preventing me from awarding this little pack a five star rating is that it's rather slow, but this is expected.

Overall this is a fine product and it sure beats carrying an incomplete little pocket dictionary or a prodigious, bulky, complete edition of Merriam-Webster's tome. Oh, and there's also a thesaurus too, but I never use it, so it would have been better for users like myself if there were a separate card option that contained the dictionary only.

Get the newer version!
Palm is now selling the 11th edition of Merriam Webster dictionary, and with rebate, the cost is less than this one. It might even be in color.

You'll never believe how often this comes in handy!!!
You'll never believe how often this comes in handy. I use this all the time to get the correct spelling of a word or to look up a definition. I got if for only occasional reference but ended up using it much, much more than I thought I would. It's so fast and easy! Definitely one to keep with you all the time.

Stopped working on me
I bought this and used it occasionally for a few months. After this I found it would not work anymore, any attempt to open either the dictionary or the thesaurus just gave me a blank screen followed by a return to the launcher. Attempts to get support faile to generate any response. ... Read more

German is a little lacking
I bought this card primarily for German, but was disappointed to find out that the German words are not listed with their gender. All German words have a gender (masculine, feminine and neuter) and you need to know the gender in order to use the proper article. In German the article is pretty important for effective communication. Other than that, the quantity of words and useful phrases is pretty good. I also like the functionality and navigability of the software.

Great product!
This is a great card. I've used it a number of times on business trips to Europe. It's so much easier than carrying a different dictionary for each country (i.e., one for Spain, one for France, etc.). Highly recommended!

Premium Provider, Great Data
This card is great! I don't know if you noticed, but the provider of the content on the card is Franklin Electronic Publishers, the leader in handheld translating software! I haven't seen any other products that can translate words not only from English to other languages and back, but between those other languages. This is a must buy for teachers, students, and travelers.

Better products available on software
The content is not bad for this add-on card, but there are a lot of better alternatives out there. My favorite is Qvadis Lexica, for example, which has available translation options between English and Spanish, French, German, Italian and Portuguese. The Qvadis user interface is superior, and you can add your own words and edit definitions on the go. It is software, not an SD card, but a better buy, in my opinion. This is the kind of program Palm should have included in this PalmPak card.

Good, but could be better...
This works great for translating words, but I've had some trouble with complete sentences. With my knowledge of the language, you would need to know what order to put your words to make anyone understand you. Therefore, it's good for basic refesher or just looking up words, but not for real communication. It does give tenses, which is helpful. Overall, it was worth it, based on the other options out there. ... Read more
