Product Features

Type	Hand-Held

Bluetooth	No
Bluetooth is a technology for the wireless transfer of data such as contacts, photos and music between mobile phones, computers and a host of other Bluetooth enabled devices. Read more about Bluetooth on Wikipedia
Voice Control	No
A voice control function allows you to talk to the Satellite Navigation system and give it instructions. This can be very helpful when driving as it allows you to maintain full focus on the road.
Map Coverage	UK
Satellite Navigation systems normally come pre-loaded with a map that covers a portion of the world. Look for UK map coverage if you plan to only use your GPS in the United Kingdom.
Screen Size in Inches	1.3

The size of the device in millimetres, in width x height x depth.

Touchscreen	No

Weight (g)	156
The weight of the product in grams.
Memory Card Slot	No
Having a memory card slot allows you to save data to a memory card and then transfer it to another device. For example you may put a photo from your camera or mobile phone onto a memory card and then plug it into your printer to print directly. Memory card slots come in many formats: Compact Flash Card Memory Stick Duo Micro SD Card MMC SD Card SDHC Card
Built-in Camera	No
Some GPS products come with a built in digital camera that allows you to photograph the place you are at and then add it to your map. Next time you wish to visit that place you just tap the image and the Satellite Navigation system plots a route. This is great if you don’t want to have to remember street names.
Spoken Directions	No
Some Sat Nav systems have a range of voices that clearly speak directions to you as you approach your next waypoint. This is extremely helpful when you need to concentrate on driving, especially in busy cities or areas you are not familiar with.
Speed Camera Warning	No
If the Satellite Navigation device comes with speed camera warning built in it will alert you whenever you are approaching a speed camera.
Windscreen Mountable	No
If the Sat Nav is windscreen mountable it will come with an arm and a suction pad. Being able to mount your Satellite Navigation device on a windscreen is important as it offers greater visibility and as a result less distraction whilst you’re driving.
WiFi	No
Wifi allows you to connect your device to wireless routers or modems which allows you to connect to broadband internet.
MP4 Playback	No
MP4 is a video format, a bit like MP3 for video. Simply speaking, an MP4 player is an MP3 player that can play common video formats like MP4.
Release Date	18 Sep 2007
The date the product was originally made available for purchase.
FM Tuner	No
An FM Tuner allows you to listen to FM radio stations on the move. You can see a list of FM radio stations at Ofcom:“http://www.ofcom.org.uk/static/archive/rau/radio-stations/analogue/analogue-main.htm”.
Touch Control	No
Touch Control devices allow you to enter commands by pressing the screen itself instead of buttons or keys.
Map Storage Medium	On board Flash Memory
The maps used to navigate using a Sat Nav are large and need to be stored on the device. They can either be stored using on board memory or using a memory card. A memory card is removable making it easier to transfer files to and from your satellite navigation device.
