Pharos Drive GPS 250: High-End Navigation For A Low-End Price
The Pharos Drive GPS 250 is a high-end GPS system for a low-end price. At only $299, you’ll be hard pressed to find a personal navigator at a similar price with such an extensive list of features. The Pharos Drive GPS 250 features:
- 480×272 pixel 4.3-inch widescreen display
- Windows CE 4.2 OS
- 266-MHz Freescale MX21 processor with 8MB of ROM and 64MB of SDRAM
- Navteq maps of the US and Canada with one million POIs preloaded on a 1 MB SD card
- an easy-to-use interface and main menu with all functionality coming from three options: Go, Map, and Settings
- 2D north, 2D track up, or 3D track up map views
- 1,200-mAh lithium-polymer battery, good for 5.7 hours
- text-to-speech
Testing resulted in an impressive speed rating for the Pharos Drive GPS 250, calculating and mapping a 12 mile trip through Brooklyn, NY in 12 seconds and a 640 mile trip from New York to Ohio in 21 seconds. Route recalculation after a missed turn was also fairly quick.
The Pharos Drive GPS 250 is a marked improvement over previous Pharos GPS models, but the company’s navigators still don’t feature Bluetooth, media playback, or real-time traffic updates. The Pharos Drive GPS 250 is available now at Amazon.
