Posted on the February 21st, 2009 under Review by admin

tomtom-go-930t

TomTom’s GO 930T is a high-end GPS that includes everything you need to receive real time traffic updates, and boasts all the newest TomTom features, including voice recognition, IQ Routes, Enhanced Positioning Technology, Map Share, and Advanced Lane Guidance.

The hardware looks great, and Map Share combined with IQ routes has serious potential. But, TomTom’s interface needs an overhaul, and this isn’t the most user-friendly GPS out there. Click here to read full review of this device from GPS Magazine.

Review: Jeep GPS Navigator RT-300

Posted on the October 17th, 2008 under Review by admin

At CES in January of 2008, Jeep Consumer Products announced the introduction of a Jeep-branded GPS. While most navigation device manufacturers are moving toward 4.3-inch screens, Jeep has equipped the RT-300 with a paltry 3.5-incher.

The choice of this 4:3, 320-by-240-pixel screen surprising, especially considering RT-300’s relatively high price ($249.99 direct). The one feature that might go a little way toward justifying the price is the RT-300’s nubby, soft, rubber protective sleeve. The unit has a tire-tread-like, ruggedized-ish styling.

Review: Magellan RoadMate 1430

Posted on the October 15th, 2008 under Review by admin

This review was conducted using a production Magellan RoadMate 1430, running firmware 1.34 and Basemap NavStreets version 31.

Unless otherwise stated, all preferences were left on their default setting. Routing tests were performed both on and off the road, including an 800+ mile road trip from New York City to Raleigh and back. Screen brightness was measured using a Mastech Digital 4-range luxmeter (LX1330B). Speaker loudness was measured using an Extech Type 2 digital sound level meter (rated accuracy of ±1.5dB).
