OH HARSH!!!!! MAN.. I was thinking, I will buy this at any cost... THEN I read the end... F!
Dang.
"Yeah, but does your GPS have 7.1 Surround?!"
Pah-pazzao!
You may also want to mention that GPS technology in Korea is FAR more accurate than in the US. It puts ours to shame. UK and Europe too.
Oohhh la la !!!
Why does this support DMB? Dave Matthews Band is kinda old now.
Kinda old? Go see them on tour this year. Best tour in at least eight years.
What's with the Google Earth satellite imagery? A little misleading, no?
UMPC+Origami will do more!
#4 - How is it more accurate in Korea? Do they not use the same satellites?
dang! that thing is awesome!!!
i guess we have to stick with GPS systems and ipods... http://ipods.freepay.com/?r=28921253
where's the bluetooth?
According to Korean Newswire.co.kr , it was developed since 2001 and it utilizes one of the best US satelite system, IKONOS.
The company is backed by Hyundai Motors, and web link is www.vique.co.kr
MSRP will be around US$1900
This would look great in my '98 Daewoo Nubira!
and coupled with this...
BUSlink's 64GB USB 2.0 Flash Drive PRO 2 Series
#12. IKONOS is an imaging satellite. Note the singular. GPS is GPS...there is no other global positioning system and there will be no other until the European launch Galileo. Wikipedia is your friend.
I doubt it reaches to main public. This is not a device that can be reached to teen market since it is expensive. Maybe sophisticated Korean would love it.
But in US....
Even current animated maps are not that good. Improve on this.
Even the best one like Garmin is wrong here and there in routing and has old maps and slow and pricey updates.
TomTom's unit's major problem is crappy graphics. Magellan has low quality lcd.
TMC at $10? It is garbage information. I used it every day, and not once it was correct.
Divx and mp3? R U crazy? I am currently in market to buy good one, but many of them sell the GPS with mp3 and Divx, which is not necessary. Mio's C710 doesn't even have WAAS and put mp3 and divx. Why? These are all aux functions.
Many of new GPS unit tout new function such as mp3 and pictures, but not many will tell you how many POIs it has and lacking function.
For example, TomTom only now has searchability of all POI in 910. Who picks POI category first and search when you need more time?
I am sure there will be a few that would want it. But GPS is often utilized in driving (although illegal). In split second, you could be in serious injury. Right now, many GPS are too complex to operate, mounting is mediocre at best (they call it professional mounting), have bunch of unnecssary functions. And this one is the most extreme example of it. Don't waste on money on this.
