With a 4.3-inch widescreen and 8 GB of memory, the NDrive G800 is the latest automotive navigational solution from NDrive to hit the UK market. With a full range of non-navigational offerings including Bluetooth, ebooks, video, games, image viewing, and music playback, the NDrive G800 seems to have it all but it does have its quirks. The touchscreen interface uses relatively small icons and letters on its QWERTY keypad making for an unattractive, plain looking screen and ackward typing. The device also doesn’t offer support for full UK post codes, instead rather strangely requiring you to type in half of the post code and then a full road address after bringing you back to the tough-to-use keyboard to generate a route. Supposedly a high-end model, we don’t know why NDrive would make this feature so difficult to use. Maps, from TeleAtlas, are fairly easy to read though a little plain and perhaps the G800’s best feature is its use of aerial photographs for navigation when not using maps. Unfortunately only a select bunch of UK towns and cities are covered by the aerial images and outside of the UK, select cities in Portugal, Spain, Italy, and France are covered. While the NDrive G800 GPS does offer a bunch of useful multimedia features, it lacks real-time traffic support and combined with the poor usage of routing from UK post codes may not be the high-end purchase you’re looking for.
