In addition, the TomTom One 130 comes with a super big speakers so that you can hear all the directions very clearly.

Unlike other GPS company TomTom launched a unique feature that is part of the TomTom GPS models is available and that the TomTom is MapShare technology. The reason why this is great, because the world is constantly … Roads change, modify construction closes roads, one-way street is a 2-way street, are built up new avenues for a new building, the list goes on and no GPS manufacturers can prepare for the future, when they invite the cards to any GPS.

TomTom is fighting this problem with their MapShare technology. Especially you, your GPS into your computer, and it will upload an updated card. Secondly, if you’re on the road and see that the construction of a road has been closed, you can input into your GPS. Then when you search for your GPS plugs into your computer for updates that your TomTom GPS updates the system so that other people find out about this course is closed, which you entered. Will continue with its almost impossible to any changes in the maps of the world, TomTom offers the possibility of their consumers. Therefore, the maps for TomTom GPS should be more up to date than any other brand. All I can say is … wow … TomTom is smart.

Another outstanding quality feature of the brand is the TomTom software application TomTom HOME. It is just another way that TomTom makes sure that your GPS is connected to the up date to provide new software updates for maps, access free content, and download new POI points.

A great feature of the TomTom One 130 is the Help Me! Menu. Let’s say you stuck somewhere you burst your tires, the car is warming unusual, whatever it may be. Activate only on your GPS, press the Help! Icon and select what you need … if there is a hospital, tow truck company, near gas station, whatever … The Help! Menu has what you need and call a phone number to help! This is incredibly useful for any situation you can stay there, especially if you’re in a strange place. How often have you carry the phone number of the nearest hospital? The Help Me! Menu is a nice feature for this basic TomTom GPS model.

The final best feature of the TomTom One 130 is that it is compatible with the RDS-TMC Traffic Receiver, which tells you about traffic conditions before you reach it! Not more than for the meetings, or even worse … Interviews … Eventually, you will know where the traffic before you get it, so that you can change your route and get you where you need to be punctual, is! However, there is a catch … The RDS-TMC Traffic Receiver is sold separately and costs $ 99.95 … ouch … But if you decide to use it, definitely a cool feature of the TomTom One 130.

Garmin nüvi 765/765T Review

Posted by admin on Feb 23, 2010 in Car Electronics, GPS, News

From the outside, the 765 is identical to the 760, but it has a new software, 3D buildings, lane assist and other improvements to the specification added.

Like the 760, the 765, the 4.3″ display and TMC traffic information and an FM transmitter used in their functions. Where it differs from the 710 is in its inclusion of a full Western Europe map and text to speech (TTS). Instead of “Turn right in 500 feet” you “you turn right onto the High Street”, which is a useful addition.

Those who use Garmin devices know the menu layout. For the most important functions, it is easy to use with a clean, intuitive user interface, easy to navigate and easy to interpret, to.

Garmin solution is not though for the boffins. Adjustment and other options are limited, and buried in obscure sub-menus, but for the vast majority of it has to use a simple, easy navigation tool.

Another important area examined, the 765 is different from our 760, when making the ability to display information about the fields available on the card. By tapping the information fields you can use the information to a 6-data. The speed is always dislayed. This was a complaint from the 760 and it’s nice to see it was answered here.

3D buildings look good, but I’m not yet convinced of their usefulness. However, there seems 3D buildings to strictly regulated screen redraw speed impact when they see on the map and a nice feature for the first time, as there are of little help, especially if they take affect the performance because they do not appear.

The little car cursor can be changed, a growing selection of Garmin, you can choose, but the picture is animated and you have assume that your own can be prevented. Quite why it animated I’ve not quite figured out how we rarely see the animation. At junctions, you can see a jerky side view of the car, as you look at it, but adds nothing and is a waste of resources in my opinion.

The interface is easy to use for the main functions, but some of the less used functions are buried in submenus and are therefore hard to find. While it is important that only useful information I think the main map screen display in my opinion has been overly simplified in accordance.
