Destination arrived. Danew GS130

Friday, July 24th, 2009

37080550Introducing 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.

Binatone X350, basic yet reliable

Thursday, July 23rd, 2009

xl_161089Entry 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.
