GPS systems are common, and typically only provide GPS technology. Pharos has taken a step ahead, in the technology market, and introduced a GPS system that not only offers GPS capabilities, but also includes many technologies offered on PDAs. Pharos' Traveler GPS 525 comes with everything you need to track locations and directions, along with the other great technologies.
The GPS 525 ships with a?PTL525 GPS receiver, windshield bracket mount, AC adapter, 12-volt car charger, USB SD card reader, headset, 512 MB SD card, navigation CD with U.S. maps and user's manual come with the unit.
What sets this unit, apart from the rest, is the integration of Wi-Fi and Bluetooth technologies. The Bluetooth technology is the standard 802.11b with 64-128 bit WEP standard data encryption that you see on laptops and Pocket PCs. Additionally, the GPS 525 comes with Microsoft Windows Mobile 5.0. This operating system provides users with applications like Windows Media Player, Internet Explorer, Word, Excel, and Outlook. You can now synchronize Outlook contacts with the Traveler GPS 525, just as you can with a smart phone.
The GPS 525 offers a stable performance platform with its SC32442X 300 MHz processor, 64MB ROM, 128MB SDRAM, SiRF starIII GPS receiver, and 512 MD SD memory card. Additionally, the unit comes with preloaded maps for 50 major U.S. cities.
Pharos did not stop with the preloaded maps; with the GPS' mapping system, users now have access to thousands of points-of-interests. Consumers can now - nearly effortlessly - find their favorite restaurants and banks regardless of the region that you are located. The stylus pen that comes with the unit makes manipulation and navigation easy.
Pharos designed the Traveler GPS 525 to be concealed - easily - in a purse, briefcase, laptop back, or even a pocket. The unit only weights 4.4 ounces and measures around 2.34 x 4.32 x 0.69 inches. Not only is the GPS 525 easy to travel with, but the integration of VoIP technology allows you to make free calls as well. This is yet another functionality - that many GPS systems do not have - and that make this GPS system comparable to cell phones.
The technologies, integrated into the Travel GPS 525, make this system function like a PDA. Because of the nature of such a unit, the price tag is usually around $600. This is obviously more than a standard GPS system and average for a smart phone.
The screen resolution, on the GPS 525, is 240 x 320, which tends to be a bit small for those attempting to view maps while they are driving. Additionally, there is no lock button on this unit; therefore, storing it in its travel case is highly recommended.
If you can get around the sticker price, and the fact that the screen is a bit difficult to read while driving, the functionality is impeccable. The only question to ask yourself, at this point, is do you want a PDA with GPS functionality, or a GPS with PDA capabilities.
Regardless, the unit offers are variety of capabilities that are just not yet common in GPS systems. Pharos has implemented one of the first all-in-one GPS units today.
