Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This is a new brand on the market - expect more of these budget class GPS devices as the market for portable navigation gets more commoditized. Mio is another similar budget brand that's gotten lots of press from Black Friday sales ads. Those that missed out on the Mio C310x could have picked up the InVion GPS for a good deal as well. It has the same Samsung 400Mhz processor, larger screen (4" widescreen vs 3.5" regular screen), shiny black finish (I like black better than the Mio's silver color), and Navteq maps (I hear a lot of comments that Navteq is better than TeleAtlas which the Mio brand uses). The InVion also has the new SiRF Star III chip which a lot of the newer and more expensive GPS devices have - it locks onto a satellite signal much quicker and makes GPS navigation more accurate as well.
I bought this unit on Black Friday and used it the same day for a trip to San Diego from Orange County, CA. Voice guided prompts were loud and clear, mapping was accurate. Only thing is on the "Fastest route" setting, I overrode it a few times (I chose a different path) because it made you change more highways than you wanted. No worries however as the unit re-calculated my change of plans and put me back on course - very nice. After all, fastest routes are not always the easiest routes.
One thing the units lacks is that it does not display the street names in 3D view, only in 2D. Probably not a huge thing, but it's nice to see everything in both views. This product also has MP3 and video (MP4 files) capabilities which are nice added features but not too big a deal for most people. Just some extra features that make you feel you got your money's worth :-)
I would recommend this GPS device for first-time buyers or those on a budget. If you can pick this unit up in the $200-300 range, it's a very good buy. Otherwise, not a bad product any way you look at it.
