I have been testing few Navigation Systems in the last few weeks, Pioneer Avics2 Portable Gps Navigation System, has really impressed me with its performance.

This Slim (1.7cm. or 0.7 inches), light Weight (180 Grams or 6.35 ounces) Navigation System is very easy to use whether in the car or out side the car; if like to go hiking, biking or exploring the down town of any city that you are not familiar with.

The Mp3 and the loud speakers give you added enjoyment while hiking or biking, but watch out for the battery.

The maps and other information about the Points of Interest (POI) are very accurate and load almost immediately, and the route updating is almost instantaneously.

The TeleAtlas map database covers the continental United States with Alaska and Hawaii in addition to Canada.

The 3D Map View gives a detailed view of your location and the route ahead, and you can easily zoom in or out.

Full Color TFT 3.5-inch touch screen interface, provides simple operation, in addition, maps and menus are easy-to-read on the large, anti-glare screen.

Pioneer Avics2 Portable Gps Navigation System features also a Night Display option, with Brightness Control of 8 Levels, and a built in Microphone.


This compact GPS unit also features Bluetooth technology for hands-free cell phone operation while driving, which is a great blessing for safety.

The only con in my opinion is the battery life, which is about 4 hours. If you are planning to go hiking or biking for more than 4 hours, you better keep that in mind, but in the car there is no problem, as you can use a car charger which comes with the Pioneer Avics2 Portable Gps Navigation System.

I have had this for about a week now and the pros outweigh the few cons. First off, the maps are very accurate and load fast, the 3d view and tracking is perfect and the route updating is almost instananeous. The bluetooth works about as good as bluetooth does and I havn't bothered with the MP3 player. All in all its been a good unit and I would highly reccomend it.

Bought this for my teenage daughter who lives about 60 miles from Kansas City. She uses it on her own to negotiate around the metropolis with no problems. She has used it now for about 8 months. We had an unfortunate experience with a Garmin product which would not maintain a charge and eventually quit working altogether but this unit is performing well. The Pioneer is lighter and more compact than the Garmin and she has it attached to the windshield via the attachment accessory. I traveled with her to the city in November and we used the device to plot the location of the Midland Theater where she is going to attend a concert later this month. Yesterday, she used it to travel on her own to Lee's Summit for a school event.
