Tomtom VIA 620 Review

A little history:


Tomtom GPS is a famous product of the Netherlands, and became leader of GPS products in Europe. Founded in 1991 and later in 2008 Tomtom buy TeleAtlas, and that's when Tomtom expand to many developed countries due TeleAtlas maps almost worldwide.

And this year Tomtom will make the breakthrough into the map provider for Apple's iPhone and their families. This is an historic point of being able to set aside rivals in the mapping that is Google Maps.

Now we will review Tomtom VIA 620 series is the highest series of classes VIA comes with a six-inch screen.

When I first turn on the first course is looking for a signal, I can not wait 5 minutes and it seems stagnant, finally I turn off and then on again, now only 4 minutes later gps lock.

Let's look at the pluses and minuses:

Pros:


- The screen is very large as six inches (800 × 480), perhaps the biggest for portable GPS today

- The screen is great, even under bright sunlight remains

- No signs such as GPS chinese / cheap, so you will not see the menu / WinCE distinctive sound made ​​in China

- There is an accelerometer, but just can not horizontal vertical

- There are eco route

- There lane guidance

weaknesses:


- From suctionnya, somewhat annoying because it is always embedded in the body, and is located behind so often in contact with the rubber hand and the table, this will reduce the strength of gum paste

- No sound when push the screen so sometimes we doubt, it has been exposed to touch or not

- The menus are too many and complex, so confusing initial use, if I may frankly, a bit long-winded, perhaps for those who like this oprek customizable so delicious, but simple for the user of course so not user friendly. Better to bury a few settings but multiply features such as multimedia.

- Can not sliding menu like mobile phones, so use the up and down arrows, except in browse mode map, new life can slide a finger

- The large screen makes it less tasty bagged and the battery can not last long, a maximum of 2 hours

- Can not wear maps as NavNet community

- Plug into PC no mass storage mode so need mytomtom, sync app which can be downloaded separately. This application is browser-based.

- There is a correction of the map, this is actually a nice feature, but the problem is if I as a user, I bought a GPS, which should GPSnya help me, I did not even help the GPS, TomTom does not seem confident with their maps so that the user wants help tomtom improve their maps. Except if I did buy a tomtom to fix the map, then this feature will definitely be utilized.

- There is no custom POI

- Large screen good? You agree that car SUV / Double cabin. But if a city car, it could be sight even be on the wane.

Review of Garmin GDR35, High Definition Standalone Driving Recorder, Your Car CCTV

Garmin GDR35 Review and Comparasion
Garmin GDR35, HD Standalone Driving Recorder

Have you seen the video on youtube when a meteor crashed in the sky Russia some time ago?
One of the tools used today to record this unique event is a Car DVR, a tool designed to record nonstop in the car like a CCTV at home.
Well Car DVR like this is the Garmin Nuvi review 2575r. However issued Garmin recorder was still the basic class GDR10. Now Garmin again remove the latest models of type Garmin GDR35, where its much more. But remember accordance standalone title, it means Garmin GDR35 is a stand-alone unit, in contrast to GDR10 on 2575r Nuvi, Nuvi GPS units you need in order to make the recording, while GDR35 already do not need anymore Nuvi GPS (stand alone).
There are important you need to know about this tool are:
- This is not a GPS navigation, GPS contained in GDR35 function for video geotagging, which record the position coordinates of corresponding movement of the video. So you are buying Garmin GDR35 still need to buy a GPS navigation again (separately) if you need navigation.
- Built-in LCD 2.4 ", not a touch screen. But enough to make playback on the unit GDR35
- There is an internal battery that can record 1 hour if not connected to the car cigarette charger
- There is a gravity sensor, it is not owned Nuvi 2575r. Its function is to detect sudden movement of the car brakes or tilted or upside down due to a car crash that reverses the GDR35 can sense changes in gravity and record it in lock mode / file protection.
- Can also be used to record the rear camera in the car so that the display screen split into two. But you have to buy another camera with the type Garmin GBC30 . The surplus, the addition of the camera does not require additional power, meaning cigarette plugs are used to keep one.
- Fast F2.0 aperture, meaning recorder at night would be better as a night light with the arrest of more sensitive
- Wide lens, wide angle 110 A very useful feature, as proved in the 10-lane highway with toll booths can be recorded everything without difficulty
- In addition there are gravity sensors that can record in protection mode, you can also press the 1 key to lock Garmin GDR35 a video for you
- There are 4 buttons below, I call buttons 1,2,3,4.
- Button 1 function to record in protection mode, if there is a significant event press this button then your files will be safe / protected.
- Protection function due Garmin GDR35 recording is nonstop, if memory full then the first file will be deleted in the order based on the oldest file. Therefore protection mode gives security to the files are not deleted
- Button 2 is the setting, the setting is on the button
- Button 3 is a playback button, video and photos can be seen at this 3 menu
- Button 4 is a snapshot / photo unusual, although video recording nonstop, when you push the button 4 then you will save your time snapshot corresponding photos.
- Recording is 1080p, 720p and WVGA. Meanwhile, if you purchase additional GBC30 to dualcam the recording is only 720p.
- PC software is a useful tool to see the results of the video recording including a GPS map on a computer. Coordinates videos also vary according to the movement of the car.
- There is a built-in microphone and speaker, you can record sound at the same time. And the speaker works when playback or when the unit is lit, a woman's voice saying "Start recording" will be active
- Mode of recording with 8GB memory card is as follows (memory card is not included in the package)

Garmin GDR35 VS VIRB Elite
Garmin GDR35 & VIRB Elite

Conclusion: 

Good job, Garmin GDR35 can record well when I drive. Each time the car is turned on, the active and direct Garmin GDR35 record, and when the car is turned off GDR35 also auto off. Each time the car hit a hole / ugly way it will display the message "Detected Event" and immediately lock the video that is suspected something. 
Wide angle is also very good, just put Garmin GDR35 position in the middle of the windshield, the front wide view of the car can look good even to the point of blind spots that our eyes sometimes overlooked. 
What I like is the ability mengoverlay text below the video data and coordinate the date and time and the speed of the car also appeared. Be a special CCTV recording style of your car. 
G-sensor data are also recorded properly.

Review Garmin VIRB Elite Action Camera (Life. Camera. Action)

Did you ever see the video of people skiing / sports with first person view (First Person View)? Action video created with the name Action Cam. Unlike the recording with a camcorder or mobile phone, Action Cam is designed resilient even waterproof.

Looking at the increasingly high demand, Garmin responded by creating a unique Action Cam Garmin VirB given name. There are 2 types of VirB and Garmin Garmin VirB Elite, the difference is in the sensor / connection Elite fuller.

Well the following review Garmin VirB Elite plus minus:

- Designed with a rugged design means resistant to severe conditions such as dropped / slammed then this camera will be fine

- Recording with 1080p video quality.

- There is a LCD 1.4 "display with Chroma type. Chroma means the LCD is not shiny but will be assisted by external light to illuminate the LCD itself. So if there is no light then the LCD does not show anything. However, when illuminated by a flashlight or bright light of the sun, the LCD seems obvious. The purpose of use is the reason Chroma LCD battery life.

- Built-in sensors complete: GPS to record the position korrdinat; Accelerometer to record the movement and Barometric altimeter for elevation data.

- Batteries are lasting 3 hours in recording mode 1080p (2000mAh) and can use the mobile phone charger / POWERBANK if you want to record longer

- Waterproof to IPX7 certification

- Video recording diverse, in addition you can record 1080p with slow motion mode, for example in action in the air with the skateboard, record slow motion style and the results will be very cool.

- Can record timelapse is usually to record the movement of the cloud motion eg long / sun.

- Wide Lens awesome, even if the arch photo taken at close range

- The battery can be removed, so they can buy a separate battery for recording much longer

- Ability ANT + sensors and connect with other equipment. For example you can connect to a bike cadence sensor for data, connect to the heart of HRM to the data or tempeh sensors for temperature data

- WIFI, serves to connect to iOS and Android where the latter can control the settings of your phone wirelessly VirB. Example you put in the next room while you control it from another room.

- Can connect to Garmin Handheld GPS and Garmin Watch. But can not for the preview image like in cell phones, but only as a remote control such as the rec button.

- Digital Video Stabilization to reduce shock

- Able to take photos in wide 16Megapixels

- Photos can be taken even in video recording mode

- Provided VirB Edit software on your computer / Mac to edit / manage the photos (http://www.garmin.com/en-US/shop/downloads/virb-edit)

- Software VirB Cool Edit can add overlays such as speed or track traversed

- In the package supplied bracket with connectors that many joints, so the recording in a difficult position allows

- VirB waterproof in 30 minutes at a depth of 1 meter, if it took up to 50 meters, need to buy the optional waterproof case

- Photo burst with ability 6 / s 3 / s @ 16MP, 5 / s @ 12MP or 10 / s @ 8MP

- There Mirco HDMI connector, can be directly displayed on the LCD TV if you buy the cord

- Micro SD card can use up to 64GB

- As an indicator only, micro SD 32GB can record 7 hours of 720p quality. While 1080p video takes 13min duration 1.86GB or 8.5GB per hour

.

Meanwhile, his weakness:


- There is no app for Windows Phone

- There is no backlight, if the night should bring a flashlight

- The movement of the camera and look at the screen there is a split second delay

- Recording only 30 fps 1080p maximum, could rival 60fps

- The unit is rather hot if used long


Conclusion:


Garmin Elite VirB be full tool creation and imagination, you are free to make a video with your style. If used to calm the atmosphere be like regular camcorders. If it is used for exciting action such as jumping from a height or in the water, Garmin VirB Elite can also do it for you. Unlimited imagination can create in moments recorded in Garmin VirB.

Slow motion to create a video that can not be captured by the eye.

Garmin Monterra GPS reviews, GPS Outdoor Premium With Android


Garmin Monterra GPS review
Garmin Monterra 
Good news for Garmin Montana GPS scouting because it's designed with the same body but inside there is not the same. It was Garmin Monterra, with the shape / form factor similar to Montana but is equipped with the Garmin Monterra  with Android OS.

With the Android system, opening millions of possibilities previously unthinkable. Not only serves as a machine like a computer with the ability to check email, chat, or office but also the function of the cloud. GPS data, photos, video can be instantly uploaded to the cloud. Who likes to bring a laptop into the field with a reason to share files with headquarters now can directly do it like status updates to social media. Direct from GPS.

What I love about this GPS Monterra is:

Android  Operating system ICS 4.0.4

- There is a formal application Playstore that millions already available. Ever imagined playing field Candycrush.

- 4inch screen, excellent screen quality outdoor wear, not only that, multitouch up to 10 points!

- Sensor super full, 3D GPS + Compass (Magnetic) + Accerelometer + Sensor Orientation (Leveling) + Gyroscope + + Temperature + Pressure Sensor Sound Sensor (Pressure) + UV Sensor

- UV sensor is unique, located in the front of silvery white, UV detect function is too strong example above or in the snowy mountains were its UV exposure can be dangerous

- Not only WIFI, but also NFC and Bluetooth and ANT +

- With Basecamp program you can organize the data of GPS and Satellite Imagery subscription feature with annual dues

- If you are cruising area there is an FM radio and a NOAA Weather Radio to stay step earphones, this feature is activated immediately.

- Same form factor accessories makes mounting / bracket can share with accessories Montana

- Typical basic features of Garmin outdoor GPS / handhelds like TracBack available at Garmin Monterra

- There AutoPause on tracking feature, this time the GPS tracking would go on to form lines AutoPause Garmin Montera chaotic but now will not make a track in the same place

- Battery can be used 16 hours (GPS function only just) that are used to play the game / chat / email etc can be reduced to about 1 / 2nya

- Rating IPX7 means waterproof (1 meter depth for 30 minutes), durable suitable for cruising tough

- Internal Memory 6GB unified storage can be used, for example, store photos, Android apps, and data gps. Memory card can be added if less.

- Waypoint to 2000, the route can be 200 and 10,000 point tracklog

- Software can be updated OTA, just get some wifi connection

- This rechargable batteries make use of POWERBANK possible.

- Full of Garmin Map, map land, sea maps, topo maps, DEM map, Map 3D match all

 Meanwhile weaknesses of Garmin Monterra:

- The form of large and heavy, with 1 hand operation not easy

- There is no shortcut / physical buttons mark a waypoint, must tap on the screen

- Low screen resolution (272 × 480 pixels), could be because the battery life is pursued (while in the field)

- Brackets must be purchased separately
