Meet a GPS system that is stuffed with many striking specs and sports. Yes, the Tyco gogo CM 310, not like Windows Mobile-based GPSes like the HP iPaq RX5300 or Mio P350, makes use of a proprietary 3.5″ LCD orange touch screen interface, which is delimited by 4 action buttons, screen on/off, menu and zoom controls. The other surprising characteristic of the gogo CM 310’s building is that on initial look, it seems to be consisted with ears.
The answer to my surprise is witty; the “ears”, which obtrude out of each side of the GPS, are turn signal indicators. They’re not large enough or dazzling enough for other drivers to make out, however they rather provide you an extra level of navigational support while having a drive at night. In direct sunshine, they are functionally hidden. Besides, the gogo CM 310 unit itself, you will also be provided with an AC and car charger, headphones, a USB SD card reader and a soft carry case in the box. A 256MB SD card is provided with the unit, and while writing, Tyco was introducing a free 1GB SD card to all registered gogo CM 310 users.
Bottom line:
The Gogo CM 310 GPS system offers a nice range of features, but it’s also plagued by some rather odd bugs, and doesn’t compete particularly well in the low-cost GPS market.
