(FORTUNE Small Business) – DestinAtor $329 www.powerloc.com

I'd like to introduce you to Lucy, my navigator. She's my DestinAtor GPS receiver and software that works with any Compaq iPaq pocket PC (more handhelds coming soon). Whether you're making local sales calls or hauling cargo to Boise, just preload the area maps you'll need, tell Lucy your destination, and she'll guide you using soothing voice instructions. She does love a little adventure: On a test trip from Hoboken, N.J., to Greenpoint, N.Y., our route wasn't the most direct or the most accurate. Lucy isn't up on recent changes due to roadwork either, as I found out while stewing for an hour in traffic. So she's not perfect, but you know what? She's better than my old co-pilot, Rand McNally.
