 Full-powered GPS Navigation with the benefit of portability May 13, 2007
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
No longer do I have to print maps, stuff them in my pocket, read them while I’m driving, and encounter the inaccuracy that so often comes from online direction maps. I simply type my address into my Pocket Loox, stick it on the dash and start driving. After over 50 trips to unknown destinations, the device has consistently guided me accurately. With the device’s built in point of interest database I have found countless instances where I have been relieved from having to know my destination’s address. Just type in the point of interest (restaurant, ATM, Hotel, train station, shopping center, tourist locations, schools, businesses, hospitals, movie theatres, government offices, etc.) and hit the “start navigation” button and you’re on your way. A couple of times I have had arrived at my destination early and decided to hit a starbucks or an ATM that does not charge fees. I simply enter the interim destination and the device takes me there and back. Given that this destination database is in-part powered by Zagat, I have been able to find not only mundane destinations like an ATM, but to find entertainment destinations like jazz clubs, high quality restaurants, and tourist destinations.The coolest thing about the loox over other devices I investigated is its portability. It’s so small that I can stick it in my pocket and use it as I wander around my destination. This came in handy at an outdoor mall when I was looking for a specific store. By using its points of interest I was able to be directed to the nearest store for the items I was looking for. On a recent hiking trip, the device was very accurate in communicating our position as it related to the surrounding area and our base camp destination.
As with any GPS device, it is mandatory that you are not obstructed by things like roofs (the device cannot be initiated indoors). I live in an urban environment and I have never had a problem being inhibited by buildings or the like, but you need to be outside when you initiate a new trip.
I can’t express enough how cool it is to stick this device in your pocket and go. In my car the maps are brilliant enough to easily read, but you really don’t need to look at the screen because the voice commands tell you exactly where to turn and when – it even alerts you to the lane you should be in for upcoming turns and warns you when you may be violating speed limits. When I have been traveling for business, the device’s knowledge of my location and its accuracy has guided me to countless meetings without any worries.
I did have one difficulty with the device where it stalled and I had to actually pull over and stop and restart the device (because I had become so reliant on its accuracy, I was dependant on it to take me to my destination). I had fortunately save my destination as a favorite and so I didn’t have to re-enter the information, just select the favorite destination and hit “start navigation” and we were off. Other than that one time, it hasn’t let me down. Cool Gadget!
