Top GPS Guide

Personally we love playing around with Google Maps or Google Earth, primarily because of the Satellite imagery that allows you to view destinations in a much more realistic manner. Which is why the NDrive appealed to us so much, with its Photo mapping technology on board, you have a similar look and feel when navigating around major cities, but does it work.

    * Operating System: Windows CE 5.0
    * Software: NDrive Propriety
    * Map coverage: UK & Ireland
    * Installation: Pre-installed on internal 8GB SD Card
    * Additional storage: SD Cards (approx 1.3GB free)
    * Dimensions: (W/H/D) 121 mm x 83 mm x 20 mm
    * Weight: 210g
    * Display Size: 4.3 inches (480 x 272 pixels)
    * Additional features: Multimedia, FM Receiver

In all honesty when we first witnessed the NDrive we were in two minds as to whether it looked stylish or not, eventually we decided that its rubberised coating was an attribute to its robustness, rather than its finesse.

Apart from the 3.5mm headphone and USB port to the side, the only other visible button is on the top of the device (on/off switch) and if we were being picky the SD card supplied does not sit comfortably in its slot - it tends to stick a touch when removing or re-inserting.

After you have entered the navigation software you are greeted with the basic default map, with a couple of icons dotted around the screen for Zoom control, setting your destination on the map and the main menu option, which is located at the bottom right hand corner.

So this option only seemed to work with the GPS turned off and we also discovered that route simulations can be performed if reception is low or the above receiver is in its off state, though it’s an option that does not jump out at you and in practice the whole procedure is fiddly.
We have collected and analysed 6 expert reviews from international sources. The alaScore? for this product is 90/100 = Excellent. Experts rate this product 55/100. The average review date is May 27, 2008. We have compared these reviews to 61941 reviews from other Global Positioning Systems (GPS).
