4.0 out of 5 stars Not bad for price., December 26, 2006

Mayvin "Reviewer" (New Jersey) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Axion GEO-632 3.5-Inch Portable GPS Navigator (Electronics)

I agree with the previous review that it's preety good for the price. Also, most models in this price range do not include Canada in their maps.

Some Cons you should be aware of.

1. Cannot play mp3 and do gps at the same time.
2. Does not include a headphone jack so you can only listen to MP3 on the built in speaker.
3. No way to custimize the info that is on the display of the GPS (ex. time, MPH, direction etc....).
4. Does not switch display automatically between day and night automatically.
5. No way to adjust speker volume without exiting GPS program.

2.0 out of 5 stars Nice when working, January 25, 2007

This review is from: Axion GEO-632 3.5-Inch Portable GPS Navigator (Electronics)

Got this for Christmas. I agree with another person that it has a fairly steep learning curve.

My main problem is that it doesn't pick up a satellite when I turn it on. Everytime I get in my car
I have to go to the section that searches for a GPS Satellite. It always finds it and then it works.
I have clicked on "Set GPS" & "Automatic reconnect" but it still doesn't connect.

Also find their support pretty bad. Very hard to get any kind of answer from them.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great item for the price., December 18, 2006

This review is from: Axion GEO-632 3.5-Inch Portable GPS Navigator (Electronics)

My reason for getting this item was to get me from Wisconsin to the east coast for job interviews, but also to guide me through some sight seeing as well. Initially the item I was looking for was the Tomtom One, but the price really made me look for an alternative whereas I happened upon this item.

For the long haul parts of the trip the item worked extremely well and was fairly accurate at finding food and gas stations along the way, however with all the changes of businesses it was off a few times. Navigation in DC was very good, but does not account for traffic as some of the newer navigation systems are doing which would have been a fantastic help in rush hour traffic. The pedestrian mode was also helpful on occasion and with the small size is easily useful that way.

The learning curve was not steep for me, but I would consider myself tech savvy and I could see how people new to the item could have difficulties. As well, every few hours the unit went back to the launch screen, especially when changing from one map section to another, which was a bit annoying and surprising.

Positives:
Small package
Great price
Accurate maps and directions

Negatives:
Moderate learning curve
Requires restart when switching zones and rarely other times at random

Overall:
I would highly recommend this product to somebody looking for a simple portable GPS. This isn't a product with all the bells and whistles, but is a great product for any geeks lineup.
