Exelente item. Even goes with Igo system.
i've tested it and for GPS it works very good, it has a quick gps pick from sattelite.
I've also got it working with TomTom and with iGO. (after some studie with it)
They both work very well with it.
only 1 thing i was nog that happy about, is that you cannot add extra menu's in it.
and the playlist of MP3's doesn't show long filenames, it limiteded with filename lengt.
otherwise i would give it 5 stars.
if you're getting it for only gps then it is a great device!
This GPS device succeeds in all the requirements I had.
It easily fits in a coat pocket, has its own battery power with choice of 'standby' and 'off' (you can see a glowing led when in standby mode). Resume from standby seems to be virtually instant. The large (widescreen) screen is bright and very clear with just the right amount of resistance for touch screen use. I haven't used it longer than 1 hour on battery power so cannot comment on its battery life. However, the screen backlight is so bright I have turned it down to its lowest setting and haven't had the need to increase it. This will extend the battery life.
The device comes with a free 2GB microSD card already installed. According to the instructions it will take up to 4GB microSD cards. IGO 8 GPS software takes around 1.8GB so I do not recommend buying anything less than 2GB cards if you intend to use other GPS software with a range of Country map data. It also comes with a very robust windscreen holder flexible enough for most positions and Mains, Car and USB power cords.
On the subject of IGO 8 , I am impressed with it and the GPS device responsiveness redrawing the screen. The animation is well done and automatically zooms in when traveling slowly (or stopped) and zooms out when moving at high speed. I am especially pleased with the overhead road signs that appear when approaching bifurcations making it very easy to select the correct lane. I don't feel the need (currently) to use any other GPS software but for purely interest's sake may load up TomTom just to see the differences.
The position accuracy is far superior to my previous GPS system. I do not know if this is due to the GPS device and satellite lock or IGO 8 software - or a combination of both. In any event it is a great improvement on my old GPS that sometimes failed to inform me of a road exit to take because it was so slow and not accurate in positioning.
I have a great portable MP3 player so feel no need to use this device for that purpose at this time. Since I am the driver for all long journeys I have no current use of the video abilities of the device either. I may download a few Ebooks to try since the screen is bright and clear (and big!).
To conclude: For my needs the device gets 5 stars especially since it does what I want for less than the price of one tank of fuel.
This is a very good GPS. It comes with IGO preloaded with maps for all the world. Nevertheless, it has limited support for Greek fonts should you choose to install another program. For example Destinator (any version) and Navigon won't work as the Greek fonts that are required for these programs are missing.
If you stick to IGO there should be no problem.
good product and good price!
