Hi my name is Richard and you're now looking at the Neo C310X portable car navigation system. Now I got this for 150 dollars on Black Friday at Circus city and I thought it was a really good buy. A really good investment coz I get lost really easily on the road and this little unit help me find a way back to the original place I wanted to go to. And to say some of the features on it it's a three point five inch touch screen. It's about one one half inch thick. Not as thick as the Garmin C330 C320s or the Magellan's and of course not as thin as the Garmin Nuvi 350 but it's still pretty thin very pretty kind of slick. Has SD card slots so it allows you to store your -- or load international maps or load your MP3s from SD card. And yes this is a portable MP3 player. I can show you down right here. Basically you start MP3s on SD card and you push the SD card in. And then while it loads just press play. And it gets pretty loud but I'm not gonna play it too loud so you can hear me but you can even play the music while you're using the GPS map but every time the voice tells you to turn right of course it won't music will stop. Now once something -- some features that this unit doesn't have it Bluetooth support so your phone calls can't be transferred to the speaker. There is no Texas speech so it will not pronounce the street names but you still will see the street names on the screen. It's really easy to use. I do love the touch screen. It's very -- I love to use the interface. And you if go online there are some hacks available to light us -- to watch movies on here or play back MPEG 4 movies and use the operating system Windows CE which I thought is pretty cool but I don't wanna hack it coz I'd just rather use the original software coz I might void the warranty or something. And you can store your favorites like home and work or -- and I do like this option cap point of intersection right here. And basically I think that's what point of intersection is. No I don't know what it stands for but basically this service is such a transportation shopping entertaining culture and basically you select the city where you're at and it'll label all the shopping centers restaurants places to go and you just click and it'll navigate you directly. Now I can't show you coz I'm not -- we're not moving right now so but it's very easy to use. And only problem I had with it is that it does have some awkward measurements. Like for example I'm about 40 50 yards away from the turning point and now it says in a hundred yards turn right. Well yeah I'm just -- it's 50 yards off so I mean at least it does show me on the map where to turn right so it's still easy to see and I do understand but it does have some awkward measurements. The voice isn't robotic it's a male voice. I believe you can change the voice online if you download rights updates for it. Now some accessories that come with this unit is a USB cable download feature updates and I believe they update once a year and you only get one for your update then you have to pay for the rest of the updates. The GPS service is free by the way so all you have to do is pay for the unit and for the maps. it does come with AC adapters so in case your car isn't running and you wanna charge your unit just to play MP3s you can. It comes with the car maps so you can stick under the windshield and so you can easily see it while you're driving but if you don't like that you can always put on the dash board with this little sticky thing that goes on your dash board. I haven t used it yet but -- coz I really like the under the windshield because it makes it easier to see. And portions of car charger. Now the car charger is charged by the -- or plugged in by the mini USB ports. That's great. So if you have a -- in case you have a _____ you can just buy a razor phone charger and just easy charge it by that. And there's also a headphone _____ listen to MP -- use as a portable media player. And of course you _____ cable inside your car you can use it to plug it in and transfer the songs to your stereo. I'm not sure about the voice though. The battery life is okay it's about five hours. As long as you keep the charge with the car charger you should be pretty good to go. But I do like this unit. I think it's a really good investment if you do get lost. If you really know your maps well I don't recommend it of course. And this is the Neo C310X portable car navigation system and my name is Richard. Thanks.
