Sentinel GEO Systems Roadangel Navigator 3000 GPS
With GPS systems looking like the other must have item for Christmas 2008 (the other is digital photo frames), prices are falling faster than US home liquidations. As technology improves and chip prices fall suppliers are swamping consumers with lower cost options. Leading the charge is the Sentinel GEO Systems Roadangel Navigator 3000 GPS starting at only $368.00 AU from Computershop888.
Help keep yourself from getting lost and grab yourself a bargain today.
The first thing you'll notice when you the Road Angel Navigator 3000, a small holding caddy, a car arm and an in-car charger. Those looking for thick product manuals, SD card cases or anything else will have to look elsewhere; the Road Angel 3000 joins a growing number of no-frills GPS units aimed at the entry level market.
The Road Angel 3000 unit uses a touchscreen, but that hasn't stopped Sentinel from putting more than the usual number of buttons, switches and sockets around the unit's body. On the left hand side you'll find the SD card slot (the map SD card comes pre-installed, just in case you're looking for it when unpacking), microphone and USB sockets. The right hand side houses a thin stylus just underneath the socket for the optional external antenna, volume rocker, on/off switch and the DC power input. The Road Angel ships without a DC power adaptor, though, and won't charge via USB either. So you're restricted to in-car power when you first buy it.
Features
The Road Angel 3000 moves away from what we've come to expect in a GPS: there's no little Sensis badge on the side, instead the map data comes courtesy of Navteq. Aside from that though, the internals of the Road Angel 3000 mirrors that of its contemporaries -- a 400Mhz processor, SiRF Star III GPS satellite receiver, 64MB of ROM and RAM and an SD card slot for holding all the map data. It also doubles as an MP3, MP4 Video, JPEG and e-book player. Although you'll need to do more than a touch of SD card swapping to fully realise the Road Angel's capabilities. There is free space on the supplied SD card but the Sentinel GeoSystem's Web site suggests that this might not be the best idea -- having your map data corrupted by a dodgy MP3 of Barbie Girl doesn't seem like a very good idea to us, either, on multiple levels.
