Portable devices that we like.

Selecting the proper Mobile Device for use with PocketFMS can be a challenge; there are many variables to consider and many of these are quite personal in nature.

Top 3 Car Navigation devices.

Many Car Navigation (CarNav) devices can be used with PocketFMS, prices range from €70 to €400 or more. These devices have a built-in GPS receiver, so you only need this one device. The CarNav device *must* be a Windows CE device.

Please note that these devices are all Windows CE / Windows Mobile devices; an operating system that has been officially mothballed by Microsoft. We strongly recommend that you select a mobile device on Android or iOS! The development of the PocketFMS Mobile software version for this platform has been frozen.
