PHAROS GPS REVIEW BY JIM BAUDO |
||||||||||||||||||||
 THIS. IS MY VIEWSONIC
V36WITH THE PHAROS GPS AND INCLUDED
VOICE SOFTWARE THAT TELLS YOU INCLUDED WAS THE CIGARETTE 12 VOLT POWER ADAPTOR. OSTIA, NAVIGATION SOFTWARE THAT SPEAKS VOICE COMMANDS TELLING YOU WHEN TO TURN. IT WILL DRIVE YOU TO YOUR DESTINATION AND TELL YOU TO TURN IN THE DRIVEWAY. |

| I HAVE BEEN USING THE V36 AND THE OSTIA NAVIGATION SOFTWARE 2 WEEKS NOW AND ITS JUST GREAT. WHAT I HAVE DONE IS TO SAVE LOCATIONS WERE I HAVE BEEN EACH DAY, GIVING THEM A NAME FOR THE LOCATION, THEN WHEREVER I AM WHEN I WANT TO GO I JUST SET THE ORIGINATION FOR A NEW ROUTE AT WHERE I AM, THEN SELECT DESTINATION FROM MY FAVORITES LIST AND THE SOFTWARE SELECTS A ROUTE FOR ME. IF IT SUGGESTS A ROUTE VIA A MAIN STREET TO THE SOUTH AND I PREFER THE MAIN STREET TO THE LEFT, I TURN LEFT AND AS SOON AS YOU TURN TO THE DIRECTION, THE OTHER ROUTE WOULD HAVE TAKEN YOU. IT WILL AUTOMATICALLY REFIGURE THE ROUTE USING THE STREET YOU ARE CURRENTLY ON. | ||||||||||||||||||||

| I WILL CONTINUE TO USE THIS UNIT DAILY AND ADD ON TO THE REVIEW. IF YOU HAVE ANY COMMENTS FROM YOUR EXPERIENCES, JUST EMAIL THEM TO ME AT THE ADDRESS BELOW. | ||||||||||||||||||||

 MICROSOFT
ALSO MAKES
STREETS AND TRIPS SOFTWARE 2005 THAT WORKS IN BOTH THE PC AND THE
PPC. IT DOES NOT GIVE VOICE DIRECTIONS.
THE OSTIA SOFTWARE WILL NOT WORK WITH THE PC, JUST THE PPC. THE GPS INCLUDED IN THE SOFTWARE WITH GPS COMBO, IS THE PHAROS GPS AND A USB CABLE FOR THE PC. THE SOFTWARE WORKS IN THE PC AND ALSO IS INCLUDED SPECIAL PPC VERSION. UPDATED TO 2006 |
