Omnitech 4.3" Widescreen GPS
A lot of folks are asking about the Omnitech GPS - a widescreen GPS that comes pre-loaded with US and Canadian NAVTEQ maps. The unit comes with a SiRF star III chipset, a 4.3 inch touchscreen, a 12V power cord and an A/C home charger. The unit also comes with Text-to-speech, which is the ability to say road names. Immensely helpful when roads are closely situated, not such a big deal when you are in a more remote situation where the road that you are going to turn onto is the only one for a mile....
The price has been all over the place on the unit, so shop around if you are interested in buying this.
In doing some searches around the internet, I found several resources where users wrote in about the unit freezing up when calculating routes, and that it creates some very odd routes; definitely a bad sign. To be balanced there are some people who rave about the performance and the ease of use. I still go back to the idea that it’s easy to design a GPS, but it’s hard to design a good GPS; I am not yet convinced that this is a good GPS.
