Review: Pharos Drive GPS 140 - ZDNet

Pharos-Drive-GPS-140.jpg

The Pharos Drive GPS 140 Navigation System which combines GPS navigation with Bluetooth, MP3, photo viewing and video playing has been reviewed over at ZDNet. 'Pharos is best known for its GPS add-ons for PDAs and smart phones, but it's also making a name for itself with solid stand-alone solutions such as the Pharos EZ Road Pocket GPS Navigator. The company's latest model, the Pharos Drive GPS 140, is aimed at mobile professionals who want a sleek all-in-one portable nav system that can keep up with their road warrior tendencies.

In addition to the standard navigation tools, the unit offers integrated Bluetooth for hands-free calls, accurate directions, multimedia capabilities, and the option to add traffic updates. It's all a good value at $549.95. That said, the GPS 140 does suffer from sluggish performance, and the interface could be easier. So for our money, we'd go with the Magellan RoadMate 2200T or the Garmin StreetPilot c550.'
