Garmin 010-N0521-00 GPS System
The Magellan RoadMate 2200 GPS was an excellent buy. My husband loves it, and I’m happy it’s saving us gas money as he’s not driving around forever looking for something. I still have to learn how to disable the automatic search. It won’t let us put the name and address in of certain places, because it says they don’t exist. Mapquest also does not recognise these places, and others say they have problems with those same locations on their GPS, so it must be the area.
Features
The Jensen NVX225 is a basic, entry-level navigation system that comes equipped with a SiRFStarIII GPS chip and preloaded with TeleNav maps of the United States. Jensen includes a companion CD with Canadian maps if you need them, but it’ll require that you transfer them from your PC to the device or an SD card. To start planning a trip, tap Find & Go to enter an address, input coordinates, and select from your home and work addresses or a recently visited location.
The NVX225 can calculate directions by fastest, shortest, or most economical route and with or without toll roads, ferry ways, U-turns, and so forth. There are also different settings for different modes of transport, including car, bus, bicycle, and pedestrian mode. Alternatively, if you don’t need guidance to a specific destination, there’s a Follow tool that will simply track you as you drive around.
The system supports multistop trips, and contains a 3.75 million points-of-interest (POI) database. All the major categories are represented, including gas stations, lodging, and ATMs. You can search for restaurants by cuisine type, and there are more specialized interests, such as concert halls, amusement parks, and nightlife. We found the entries to be slightly out of date, as we searched for POI around San Francisco, and discovered several establishments that we knew to be out of business.
The bottom line: As an entry-level GPS device, the Jensen NVX225 offers all the basics at an affordable price tag, but you can get a better user experience and more from the Mio C230 or Garmin Nuvi 200.
