Navigating with the Garmin Nuvi 1690 reflects the experience we have with other Nuvi GPS devices had. 1690 achieved good distances without surprises, and its text-to-speech function worked as expected.

Lane assist with junction view provided a clear visual for our exit tests. The Bluetooth interface easily with a LG LX9900 phone paired and worked as a speakerphone. We were disappointed that the Bluetooth interface – in other devices like the Garmin Nuvi 200 and Nuvi 1000 product series, but unlike those in society nuvi 700 and nuvi 800 series could not read – the contacts and the call list of the phone. We had the better Bluetooth interface to the expected high-priced Garmin Nuvi 1690.

The menu structure on the Garmin nuvi 1690 is essentially the same as in other Nuvis, although, on the 1690 are connected to various services NuLink sprinkled throughout the menus. Most of these services are to be found for the most part, logically in the menus.

For example, the associated services in the Tools menu, Flight Status, Weather, Ciao and currency. After flight status you can check flight numbers and arrival departure search. Check weather gives you the current day weather forecast for your current location with a five-day forecast. The device also offers the current conditions for New York City, Chicago and Los Angeles, but you can not specify, in other locations. Ciao aggregates multiple location-centric social networks such as GyPSii, and Buddy Beacon. Finally, the daily currency exchange function updates the exchange rates, so you always have the latest information.

Garmin lists NuLink other associated services under the popular Where’s menu. The first screen of Google Local Search offers as an option, and white pages than others. With White Pages, you can enter a phone number by name and location, or you can use a phone number, and the Garmin Nuvi 1690 is to do a reverse lookup – a very practical function. From the results screen, you can use the navigation or (if you paired the device with a Bluetooth-enabled phone) to call the number.

Google Local offers online access to all 13 POI categories by the Points of Interest icon covered. You can use Google Local Search to close, in another city, in a final goal in a popular tourist destination, or – if you are an active route – along your current route, these are the same options you have when you the POI database. This is a place where the related services could be integrated better, why not combine the searches? If we look for a POI, we do not care whether it comes from the internal POI database or from the Google-Live connection.

The menu Where To Listen as other services as NuLink fuel prices, Film, and local events. You can Find Nearby fuel prices for unleaded, midgrade, premium, or diesel. The price seemed right in my sampling, but you can not for the cheapest fuel prices other than by scrolling through the list.

The film is time option for you to search by movie title or theater name for a certain time, not more than five days in the future. (The film is to search only in nearby theaters.) In our tests, but every time we tried to look up theater or movie title on a four-day period, the Garmin nuvi 1690 gave an error message that the server capacity is or was not that we are connected. (We were connected.) Garmin We advise the glitch, which is lijkely before the product ships to retailers are fixed.

NuLink is the channel for live data traffic. It made me close to traffic and showed the expected rush-hour delays in Manhattan. How would you live with the Navteq Traffic to other Nuvi T models, you will occasionally see pop-up ads for POIs in the vicinity. If you are a fan of the Garmin navigation, the NuLink related services will only increase the experience. As a first version of the new technology for the Garmin nuvi 1690 Garmin is a very good job.

The RoadMate 1700 from Magellan measures 7.5 x 4.2 x 0.6 inches and weighs just over 10 ounces, which is pretty difficult, but that is because of its size. to change because of its size by a smaller vehicle on probably not the best because it can take up a lot of space, and Dashboard to create blind spots. A larger vehicle like a pick-up truck or RV, would easily accommodate the large footprint of the RoadMate 1700 with open arms. It comes with a mountain that looks more like a small rack mounted and when it decently robust.

On the front of the 800 x 480 pixel 7-inch WVGA display dominates the front panel next to a small power button in the upper left corner. The screen is vibrant and alive beautifilly in all lighting conditions, even in direct sunlight it is still reasonably readable. At the top there is a microSD card slot of the map expansion and at the bottom there are three ports, a mini-USB, the traffic data antenna connector (more on that later), and an A/V connection, to use, the display allows for a different device. However, they do not have the A/V cable in the package.

The main menu of the Magellan RoadMate 1700 is very clean and well designed, making it easy to navigate for all users. This model is enabled OneTouch, ie it has a favorite area, the nearest gas station you one-touch access to the most popular routes recent routes, and things such as, ATM, etc. The map data includes the device loaded by default NAVTEQ maps for the United States of America, Canada and Puerto Rico. This data is accompanied by more than 6 million points of interest such as hotels, restaurants, gas stations, etc., and the AAA Tourbook. The RoadMate 1700 enables multi-segment route mapping and route management features, such as choosing the shortest route, quickest route, etc.

The data is in the on-screen QWERTY soft keyboard that is displayed on the touch screen input. Because of the large screen unit the letter keys are very large and almost impossible to make a mistake. Data entry fields have a function, the word prediction tests, fill-in-the rest of what you intend on typing for faster input.

At the bottom there are buttons for zooming and an area that shows you time, direction, speed and altitude. While in route mode in this area, the data for distance to destination, estimated time of arrival and time remaining. This model also offers complete text-to-speech, that it is verbally announce both directions and street names. It’s a pretty nice job of preaching both simple and complex street with only occasional light mispronounciation. As with most other GPS devices, these features re-route, which automatically adjusts on-the-fly your route if you miss a turn. It also provides lane guidance to highway travel, to ensure that you are in the right lane for the current route.

A big let down, but the lack of real traffic subscription is on this model. This means you will not be able to know the current traffic or route adjustment of you to get around areas of traffic backups or construction. The device has a connector for an antenna traffic, but it is not can be used with this model.

Design and Interface

There is a sub-$ 200 standard navigator, the nuvi 205 offers a 3.5-inch screen. It comes with a ball-joint mount that the windows are easy to store, and it is in a flat black finish that feels sturdy, though not dressed elegantly. The only external control is the power switch. The microSD card slot can be used to save images to display on the device, additional maps and custom POI databases.

The nuvi 205 is Sun menu is simplified and the Icon To kiddie cartoon, it feels like Fisher-Price my first GPS. The opening screen offers two big icons that you choose a destination or to have a map of the current environment. Two smaller buttons to adjust the volume or access tools that include the settings. Entering addresses is easy and fast, although the nuvi 205 provides no spell checker supports functions such as the Navigon 2000S (which shows only the letters that you need). The database contains more than 6 million points of interest, what is good for a budget model, and it seemed up to date.

Maps and Navigation

The maps on the nuvi 205 are brightly colored and easy to follow, but they look blocky and awkwardly drawn without the elegance of this in higher-priced models. The map view shows the name of the street you see the next and the distance to turn it on, the local speed limit, your speed and your estimated time of arrival.

The nuvi 205 has only one vote, and it is not pronounce street names, which is the creation of the biggest disadvantage. Even if contradictory, the Motorola TN20 least tried to provide this function. You can not multi-segment lines with the nuvi 205, although you can make a detour on your current route. On the positive side, you can switch to pedestrian and cycling modes, and an SOS function uses your current location to the nearest hospitals, police stations and gas stations. Strangely, you can change your car on the icon in a hawk or a huge beach ball, if you want.

Rerouting to the nuvi 205 was strangely contradictory: On one occasion, the creation of an updated route after a missed turn took six seconds, and another time it took well over 30 seconds. The results could be somewhere in between, but were generally less than 10 seconds.

Extras

The nuvi 205 live traffic, so long as an MSN Direct receiver and a subscription. Other extras on the nuvi 205, a photo viewer, who under the “Tools” menu with a calculator, unit converter, and world clock. The Photo Viewer can display images on a microSD card that you need to take care of themselves will be saved. It is also a USB cable to connect the nuvi 205 includes your PC. The nuvi 205 even photos with geotagged provided that the manual tells you to download navigate from Panoramio. It is hard to imagine that anyone planning a trip like this, but it’s a fun extra, and worked well with the pre-installed images.

Verdict

The nuvi 205 is a reliable model at hand. However, we were a bit more expected from Garmin, even if this is a budget device. If you are looking for the best price, buy the Navigon 2000S, the more intelligent.

Design

The TomTom XL 540 is basically a larger version of the other XL devices with the design elements are still the same and the familiar curved tip. Although this makes it the largest TomTom device in the lineup, it weighs only 7 ounces for easy transport.

Interface

Users of earlier TomTom models should not expect many changes from the user interface as the standard six-icon approach to navigating the menu sticks. This is a good thing because it makes it easy for entry-level users to easily plan their routes. Like other GPS models, the XL 540s powered completely so you get the option you want is as simple as touching an icon on the screen, touch screen. appears because of the larger screen, larger symbols are thus easier to select. It shows the current street you are on the bend at the bottom of the screen and the next street, in the upper right corner.

The status bar can be displayed either horizontally or vertically. Watch them show the remaining time, remaining distance, current time, arrival time, speed and the speed, distance to next turn, compass, and many other selections.

A minor annoyance, we found that changing the ‘Settings’ screen 6 pages deep and has only one button to forward to the next page. There is no back button. So if you have the screen, you wanted then you have the forward button 5 more times again just press the page to go accidentally.

Navigation

The most common element in navigation is the “Navigate to …” Option, which is the first icon in the upper left. This option results in additional options you can choose what kind of goal you want to go. There are fast navigation presets such as “Home”, or ultimate goals of the 7 million points of interest pre-installed in the device. Favourites for quicker address must be set in conjunction with other options to make navigation very flexible.

Once everything is set up, the view is shown on the map where the position is updated continuously on for the ride. This gives a better appearance because of the larger screen and the 3-D graphics look amazing. The device can talk with you by a street name, if a change is required via text-to-speech technology. This will keep your eyes on the road the ride is a lot safer and more comfortable at the same time.

On the highway or major intersections, the 3-D map showing respond accordingly by displaying large arrows on the screen, on which track you will be required. This feature is called “Advanced Lane Guidance” and it eliminates the frustrating scenario is missing a turn just because you on the wrong track. It shows an arrow to be with the track that you clearly need to really. It also shows a 3D sign for the exit. It’s nice and big, and it remains on the screen long enough so that it’s plain to see, where to go They need to be considered.

The routes are based on the IQ Routes technology using historical data to speed on the roads of time of day and day of week, so they give you the best route.

The above features are also superior to the TomTom XL 530S, but the TomTom 540 is pre-loaded content. In addition to the full U.S. and Canada maps, the 540 also Mexico cards leads to more points of interest in excess of 7 million Recent points of interest can be on the map using the TomTom Map Share technology placed by the acquisition of data from other TomTom users for an accurate map of the update. Other points can simply be divided by adding a new point of interest from the interface, which can then others via Map Share will be added.

Extras

Like the previous devices, the TomTom 540 comes with EasyPort Mount Kit, which makes it easy, the unit to the windshield. It will also get some time-saving features such as traffic capabilities, if the RDS-TMC receiver is installed. The TomTom HOME desktop software makes sure the device is updated and allows the driver an advantage of TomTom’s service subscription to take to driving even more comfortable.

Space is quite tight with only 2 GB of internal flash memory with no provision for expansion.

Although the 540 is the leading model in L-functions is under $ 300 This is considerably cheaper than other emerging 5″ models. Will be bundled into the device with all the basic navigation functions, and some handy extras, the XL-540s a good recommendation, even for drivers who never have a GPS device, used before .

The Maestro 4700 contains an impressive list of features. You will receive a larger than normal, 4.7-inch screen, maps for the United States (all 50 states), Canada and Puerto Rico, a database of 6 million points of interest; highway lane-assist mark, text-to speech and multi-segment routing options. You also get several elements unique to Magellan, such as the AAA tour book and browse the One Touch feature, which latter is easy to find or a favorite destination with just a single tap of the screen can.

But here’s the thing: All these features are also available on the RoadMate 1470 (not the 7-inch-mentioned RoadMate 1700).

First, you are a Bluetooth phone interface on the 4700, which found the RoadMate 1470, like most models lack the budget. The interface problem on my LG VX9900 phone is connected, and the sound was on both incoming and outgoing calls very well. You demand the option to appeal to home number, redial the last number with the keypad, a contact from your address book or call list or use a nine speed dial entries that you define. You can also select a point of interest directly. Unfortunately, reading the Bluetooth interface not address messages or call history from your mobile phone (at least not by me). But I was happy that the 4700 series back on automatically to my phone when I returned to my car.

The 4700 series has also generated by automatic traffic management, a function very similar to TomTom IQ Routes, which is based on historical route speed and traffic patterns. The desired result is an optimal route-more-precise ETAS. In my tests, predictive routing exactly the expected rush-hour delays. Still, sometimes the best choice is always somewhere for it, and tolerate heavy traffic anyway – and there is nothing you can do Magellan products, however, know that I hope that this feature is Magellan RoadMate models included in the next.

Speech recognition – in the older models found Maestro 3250/4250, but outside the Maestro 4350 – has found its way back into the series 4700. To be honest, but I thought it was a bit underwhelming, as the function you can control only a few things by voice. Search a tapping of the speaking man icon on the map brings the “Say a command” menu, which contains entries for “go home”, “Previous Destinations” on “next” bank, “next station”, “next coffee,” ‘nearest restaurant’ and ‘where I am. “Although it responds to some additional commands such as ‘Go Back’, ‘Next’ and ‘Map’, the device itself offers no list of available commands. Voice of a portable GPS device can be a viable option interface one day, but not today.

Smart Sound, one simple but important feature that the unit volume, vehicle speed links, further differentiated the RoadMate Maestro 4700 from the products. In addition, let the sound options set separate levels for navigation and the telephone interface. Other extras in the Maestro 4700 includes a pedestrian mode, 3D landmarks, and a function to help find your parked car. I was disappointed, but to see that the Local 4700 The missing information function (for events, attractions, destinations, restaurants and gas, either in your current location or a city of your choice) on the RoadMate 1470.

Navigating with the Maestro 4700 is almost identical to the experience you would with the current models have RoadMate. The menu structures are virtually the same, with the exception of the additional features found on the Maestro. In my road test, I mounted both the 4700 and 1470 and did some test tracks. In many cases, the spoken instructions in unison, but on occasion a unit was about half a second before the others. I quickly turned off speech recognition, because as it is implemented is not very useful.

Consumers get Magellan three possibilities: the 7-inch RoadMate 1700, the Maestro 4700, RoadMate 1475T and the (which is identical to the 1470, but a built-in Traffic Receiver with lifetime traffic included). Although the Maestro 4700 a number of additional features as the RoadMate models is compared, the RoadMate 1475T has for me on the optimal mix of features for the $ 300 price. And for $ 50 less, the 1470 is a good value when you can live without the traffic information.
