Navicore Slim GPS

[Desmo]

Thought I'd put this in here. It's not really computer based but I see this as more of a technology section

I wanted to get a second GPS unit as the current one is left in Sinead's car and I'm sometimes caught short and need a unit myself. The old TomTom one is also quite big and now I have TomTom on my phone, a smaller unit would be handy for carrying around. So I set out to get a new unit.

Now, which of these is best? (Make a good note of the prices)...
Holux GPSlim @ around £75
Navicore GPS @ around £33

You'd think the Holux must be better, surely. Well, after doing some research seeing as the units look almost identical...



They are. The Navicore is just a rebadged Holux that retails at twice the price.







It's a very small unit as you can see. It came with a car USB charger with a plug in USB cable and a Nokia charger to Mini USB adapter so charging can be done in the car, from a PC/USB source or using your Nokia phone charger.

It picked up a full signal within about 15 seconds of turning it on...and that's pretty quick. Overall, I'm really happy with it
