GPS

[Beei]

thanks!

I purposely turn wrong turn also and it do re-route quite acceptable too.. quite fast in doing a re route..

the u-turn stuff is a bit weird.. sometime can turn right immediately but the system ask me to go straight and u turn, then turn left.. din follow the instruction but still work well..

[Beei]

din really follow the map.. listen to the voice instead..

luckily not the male voice guiding me along else may cause accident..

yea...me too..garmin is one of the market leader for car gps...guess after this thread...i'm changing my mind already...

[Mivec9]

what voice? so there's a few voice options?

[Dankoo]

I am using PPC instead. Asus A696 upgraded to WM6. Find that it is more versatile as I can use my PPC for other function and it is not that bulky.

there is always some limitations to the GPS receiver(worse when the PDOP is high), you may have been so close to the right turn that it thought you have past it, so it ask you to make a u-turn ahead then make a left.

 

one bug i found, the battery indicator within the GPS navigation display page is always full! The real battery level is the one found on the main menu. Overall, I find the brightness and voice level good.

 

But the removal of the unit from the car after I parked is quite a hassle i find.. although the unit can be clipped-on within one sec and removal seldom takes more than 2 sec.

the welcome screen got 1 male voice, sound sleepy and a bit like zombie..

i guess the difference between garmin and holux is like BMW and hyundai. No offence to all the brands mentioned here.

 

All functions to their requirement, but the handling, ergonomics and comfort level is different.

 

If I got the dough, I'll get garmin too! maybe a rolex too! and a Merc too!

[Rskeisuke]

oh yes, the initial voice warning about not to use the device while driving can be switched off under "Others->Settings" too.

[Beei]

[Mivec9]

The volume can adjust at the main menu setting, instead in the map setting.

The speed limited very irritating, please slow down, please slow down

[Beei]

[Mivec9]

wahhh....i dun like his voice lah...

[Mivec9]

can adjust the speed limt or not...

[Beei]

the speed limit inside is according to LTA speed limit i guess..travel 80-90 on PIE but no warning.. But travel 60 on a 50 road, voice come out again..
