Dual NavAtlas XNAV3550 Review

xnav3550.jpg


CNet has a review up of the Dual NavAtlas XNav3550, and they weren't impressed, giving it a 5.6 out of 10 rating. The unit features a 3.5-inch touchscreen, and pre-loaded maps of the US, along with a SiRF star III chipset. The unit has a Navigon navigation software interface, which they found difficult to get around. It is the same software that is used on the Delphi NAV200 - see my review. I think that the software is a bit hard to get around, but in my experience, the unit did a respectable job of navigation.

Design-wise, the unit has a couple of nubs on each side that are used to give you a visual indication of which way to turn. CNet likes the feature; I am unconvinced until I use it. This could be a major distraction, or a nice help.

Overall, CNet says that the unit will get you from point A to B without much issue, but thinks that there are some other value plays out there to look for.

GPS is great but This is a warning DO NOT TRY TO WATCH ANY OF MOVIES YOU PUT ON THE CARD.
I backed up the software from the memory card and put a movie on it . I watched the movie and then the GPS part of the unit quit.
So unti is great as a GPS but may go out if you try to play any of your own movies or possible music.
