Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)First a couple specifications of interest that weren't on any pages when I tried to find reviews:
- Sticker on back says Windows CE Core 5.0
- GPS Application Information: LINSAY Car Navigator, 2008 R5.0, Map Data from Navteq
I haven't played with a lot of car GPS units, but as far as I can tell you can plot your route and adjust things as well as any other. There are various color sets to use and the option to have different ones during the day and night. Units can be changed between miles/feet and km/m. The language of the text and the speech can be different I found out. When it arrived it was set to English for text and Spanish for spoken directions. :D
Sometimes the zoom in and out and other option buttons aren't visible on the navigation map so you have to drag the pointer a little and then they appear. It seems to be right after visiting a menu that it occurs.
I got it half for the ability to play MP3s and videos with built in FM transmitting. The FM frequency can be set in .10 MHz steps from 88.10 to 107.90. You will more than likely want to heed the rather cryptic (less than optimal English translation) recommendation to have some ear phones or some type of audio extension (maybe a 10-25 foot one from the 99 Cents Only Store would be even better) connected to enhance the FM transmission. It is a little weak without the extension/phones connected. But with something good and long and on a low interference frequency you might broadcast around your house as well. :)
There is only 1 spoken voice to choose from (as far as I can tell).
The Mexico map comes on a separate CD that you are told to copy the information off of onto another SD card. (NOT onto the same 2 GB SD card that comes with it with the US, Canada, Puerto Rico, and Virgin Islands map data.)
The video player will play regular AVIs that you can get via everyone's favorite Pirate Bay or IsoHunt bittorrent search. That is good, because having to convert video files to play on a portable device is for the birds!
MP3s can be set to play randomly or repeat. They seem to continue to play in the background during every other application (navigation, picture viewing, text reading, settings adjustments).
The only thing I wish it had the ability to do in the ebook (text file) reader is to be able to add in some extra notes via a screen keyboard. But you can use it to check some notes you already have saved I guess, just no modifications or additions.
I'm happy with it. I hope the person that will receive it will be too. :D
