Heres a simple review of my denkat gps reciever:
Screen Size: 4.3" 480x272 Resolution
CPU: Centrality Atlas-II 373 MHz
OS: Win ce Net 5.0
SDRAM: 64MB, Flash Memory: 64Mb (NAND flash)
Mass Memory Storage: SD memory slot, upto 2GB
Supports: MP3, MP4, AVI, ASF, 3GP, Photo and Ebook
AV IN, FM Transmitter, Bluetooth Handsfree
The denkat gps reciever is a multi function gps reciever a bit like the nuvi 760. The unit's main functions are: PND, multimedia player, picture viewer and cellphone handsfree device.
As a PND it works quite well and using it is very simple. Just type in the street name and the device will create a route for you. If you missed a turn or didn't follow the route given, it will recalculate another one for you. The recalculating feature is ok but it suffers from some bugs as well. Sometimes the recalculating takes a while (like a minute) so you're driving blind for that whole minute. Also, this is especially true when you're driving in small streets, when you take a parallel street from the one that the device routed the PND will think that you are driving on the routed street.
It also has a voice prompt. It wil tell you in advance when to take a turn (e.g. turn left in 20meters) then say it again when the turn is near.
As a media player it's a hit and miss. I love the music player because I could bring a lot of songs with me and it is easier for me update it with new songs. My problem before is when burning mp3 cds for my car, once you burn it you cannot change the contents. So I end up having 3-4 cds in my car, making it difficult to manage my fave songs. But with this PND I can easily add or remove songs from my playlist. The miss part is the video player. It supports files like .avi. But it can only play them in slow motion. So I had to convert the divx videos that I have into mp4 before the player can play it smoothly.
The FM transmitter is also a nice feature because not all cars have aux. The audio quality through the FM transmitter is just so so. It is better than radio but it can't compare with audio cds. There is also a caveat with the FM transmitter though. Because you can only use it if you have the unit plugged to the car charger. If it's not plugged in, the signal is too weak that the car FM can barely pick it up even if the car antenna is already beside the gps.
So in conclusion, I'm quite happy with my device. It gives good directions and it's also a decent media player. I also love the bluetooth handsfree feature. I wonder why I didn't buy a handsfree device before. It's so convinient, no more fumbling around for your phone when driving. If it can only read cellphone text messages, then that would really be something neat...
