Top GPS Guide

The N.I.C.E unit does provide navigation, satellite radio, video, and MP3 player functionality. However, the amount of frustration you have to experience to get these features is unreasonably high, especially considering the unit’s price.

These are a few of the frustrations users of this unit will encounter:

1. The interface is atrocious, both in design and response. Very often the unit registers a press of a softbutton on the screen with a highlight and a beep but doesn’t actually perform the action. You have to press the softbutton again. You’ll find this very frustrating when entering addresses in the Navigation component.

what makes this suffer is what it lacks, that even botton bollar units include.
These shortcomings start with the most important, Readability. Even cheap Garmin units have good screen dimming functions.

Sure, CES may have ended over a week ago, but we’ve got enough GPS coverage from the show to last all month! Clarion announced its new GPS navigation lineup at this year’s Consumer Electronics Show.
