The S Series navigators from Novogo are designed with navigation and navigation alone, in mind. Not like so loads of the existing mid-range GPS systems, which are claimed to be integrated with extra sports such as music players, photo viewers and organisers, Novogo evidently thinks that a GPS ought not to be built-in with the functions that are most probably not used by you, whether be your phone, MP3 player, PDA, digital camera and laptop. And today when I went through the write-up on Navigadget I got to know that Novogo S700 got 3 out of 5, and while you will go through the review at PCMag, you will find that it comes up to the mark of its promises.
Check it here in brief and sound below:
Once you familiarize yourself with the menu system, the S700 is simple to use. Unfortunately, this GPS does not support text-to-speech conversion, so it won’t announce street names for you. My test unit also lacked the optional TMC traffic receiver, so I was unable to test the traffic feature. And although I did have the more expensive S700BT Bluetooth model, it was unable to discover my LG VX9900 phone. Routes generated were very similar to those of other units that use TeleAtlas maps, though the specific routes created did vary based on how the Method routing preference slider was set. Fortunately, it’s quite easy to select a specific street to avoid in the turn-by-turn list view.
Novogo is at present no available in the US, but is likely to be seen at stores in the near future selling the S700’s for almost $400.
