[ reviews
from the handango website;

"This product is the best speed-altitude-compass software for my GPS i ever tested ! It works perfectly with GPSgate, making a perfect ad-on for every Tom-tom or Navigon software. The speed alarm is very simple to use, and very practical !"

"This utility is clear, easy to understand, and you can personalise it to suit your requirements. I use it when out walking, and in the car - Wouldn't be without it now."

from the pocketgear website;

"This software package does exactly what it says and does it well. The screen is well designed and easy to interpret while driving. The buttons for changing views are large enough to be pressed without the aid of a stylus. Don't expect maps or any sort of routing, although it will graph your velocity and elevation during your trip. You can also customize information to be exported to a file for later analysis. Well worth the price of admission!"

"Very basic service but it is easy to install and everything works well. Good job making it easy to use. Don't expect a moving map and navigation system here, just your basic GPS data. I like it."

from the german pocketland website;

"Ich habe bereits viele GPS-Programme ausprobiert und getestet. Keines konnte mich so überzeugen wie GPS SPEED SENTRY! Das Programm ist jeden Cent wert. Einmal die Einstellungen gemacht und man möchte es nicht mehr missen. Zudem bietet der Hersteller einen absolut spitzen Support bei Problemen oder Fragen."

"Nach der Installation auf meinem Aldi-PDA hat außer der Altitude nichts funktioniert. Vom Support des Herstellers bekam ich aber einen Verweis auf eine Seite, womit das Problem der GPS-Antenne schnell behoben werden konnte. Programm ist sehr informativ und einfach zu bedienen"
