Introducing their entry level GPS system, Danew has leveled out the playing field by offering the basic functionality of your average navigation device with an easy to afford price. The objective with the Danew GS130 was to reach people who were interested in obtaining a GPS device yet did not want to deal with confusing manuals or operations. The large 3.5” touchscreen supports over 65,000 colors to bring a sharp image to the driver. The GS130 runs off of the popular Windows CE .net OS alongside the Destinator 7 browser. Equipped within the Danew GS130 is 64MB of internal ram and 256MB of ROM memory. You can also add additional maps and functions to your device via SD card. Many Danew GS130 reviews claim the highly sensitive 16 channel receiver works wonders as it picks up satellite signals better than they expected.
Pre-loaded on the Danew GS130 are fully functional maps of UK and France in their entirety. Thousands upon thousands of Points of Interests can be displayed to inform you of any nearby restaurants, gas stations, shopping malls and many other popular visits. The 8 digit postcode search ability is a great tool to locate a specific address quickly. Unlike many of the Danew GS130’s competitors, it does not have a speed camera function which notifies the driver of any upcoming cameras to hopefully avoid a painful speeding ticket. Maps can be shown in either 2D or 3D formats. To make up for these disadvantages, the GS130 offers a built-in MP3 and MP4 player which allows you to play any audio tracks you wish as well as a picture viewer. Feel free to attach the gps device to your windshield with it’s ultra steady adjustable mount. As you can tell the Danew GS130 has its pros and cons but if you are wanting something simple to get you where you need to go with no hassle, than look no further.
Navigon has again won yet another race to being the best choice among navigation gadgets. With the MobileNavigator App for iPhone recently released and now available at Apple’s AppStore, Navigon has again edged by miles its competitors.
Since the release of the iPhone 3.0 software, all other companies have stated their support for the updated platform that opens new possibilities, and Navigon just made its support concrete and comfy for a multitude of iPhone users.
The MobileNavigator is the first turn-by-turn navigation application in Europe with price pegged at £54.99. The device features, among others, landscape and portrait support, the much amusing and helpful Reality View Pro and that special function where users can auto-resume following a phone call. The latest addition to Navigon’s showcase of products also has 2D and 3D display features.
Many users and loyal Navigon followers are thankful for the auto-resume ability of the gadget. This is because iPhones are not made for multi-tasking. Hence, when one takes a call, a running application should be exited from whenever calls are being made or taken. But with the auto-resume feature, MobileNavigator will sure be the most preferred in the market.
The device also comes with Real Road sign pro, the Lane Assistant Pro, and the Speed Assistant which are remarkable guides to driving like a pro – and safely! The MobileNavigator also has the day and night mode among its key features where the driving and riding public can gain easier access whatever time of day they want to. Users can also get the options of displaying points of POIs along their routes.
Many Navigon device users are also eager for latest developments from the manufacturer after hearing that a free, lite version will be released soon, and will come without the active route guidance.

Entry level gps devices have been a tough market to compete in during the past few growing years of the market. Many devices either simply do their job or don’t. When it comes to the Binatone X350 UK&IRE the job gets done, very well. The 3.5” anti-reflective touchscreen LCD performs very well in both night and day conditions. The screen reflects any annoying sunlight or headlights that usually would force a squint or cover of the hand to see anything. Both 2D and 3D navigation mapping is offered as well as voice guidance for every upcoming turn in either male or female voices. As with nearly all Binatone products, there are literally thousands of Points of Interest for you to search such as petrol stations, hotels, museums, restaurants and even parking areas at highly populated events. You can also upload images and documents via SD card which can come in handy for important turns. Simply locate the picture of your destination and compare it with what you are seeing out your windshield.
Many Binatone X350 UK&IRE reviews I have came across enjoy how simple this gps device is to use. In my opinion the tracking information that is displayed on the main screen is pretty neat. You can view current speed, distance traveled, estimated time left as you are driving. If you feel you want to take a different route you have the option to switch to alternative routes with ease. Night mode is automatically turned on to better assist you in darker than normal conditions. Adjusting the voluming only takes a few taps of the screen as well as your route itinerary for easy access. If you’re new to the market or are the type to get confused easily with technology, you will have no regrets if purchasing the Binatone X350.
Gone are the days when your satellite navigator is showing you how to get from Point A to Point B. With the new MyDrive sat-nav comes the highly advanced technology to make your future driving experience that of a pro! No more distance and time estimates of old car counters, and helps you drive much more easily. MyDrive can show you the best routes to take when facing a traffic jam and other inconvenient conditions on the road. It also shows petrol prices and give you stream live TV, and the leading search engines also come with it, making the rest of the world so much accessible to you while you’re driving on the road. Another MyDrive feature that is such a blast is it has the list of accurate journey times estimates based on the speed of your driving.
While many sat-navs employ their journey time based on fixed speeds for different road types, MyDrive zooms ahead by monitoring your speed depending on your car make or how you step up on the gas. Real time traffic has never been accounted this excellently and accurately by existing sat-navs in the market. Of course, MyDrive still has those reliable map share system and perks for the music lovers, voice command and control and hands-free calling system.
The MyDrive software is a highly personalized gadget for any driver as it learns his driving habit. With more accurate evaluation of journey time and the other behavior and practices of the driver, and other stored information, MyDrive is able to suggest different routes more suited for the situation.
We’re crossing our fingers that the MyDrive sat-nav makers will take into account the need to have this technology personalized. It should be the next logical move after making the MyDrive internet connection reliable, fast and consistent wherever you’re driving.
