Archos GPS In-Car Holder for 605 Wi-Fi (Holder Only) Review

Products by : Archos

Model : 501092

Rating Reviews : 2.5

Availability : N/A

Ok. This is a base model GPS unit that has a base model cost. The Pro's is once you learn how to navigate through the GPS it is just like a Garmin 205 with more detail(I have one in my other car). They both have a POI, speed limit indicator, good detail on maps, you have to download the software for both of them from the internet and easy to understand directions. The biggest problem I have/had with the Archos GPS is they did not give me the correct "code" to start my software download. The other problem is the holder is big and bulky and finally the speaker is not very loud. Other than that, I really do like the GPS. It will give you the exit number you need to exit on and it has a bit more detail than the Garmin 205. Overall I'm glad I bought it and saved the difference on the two units. So If you have a Archos 605 I would buy this if you want a GPS unit. If you don't have an Archos 605 (which I love), buy the Garmin 205. The Garmin is very small, easy to use but will get lost at times like any base model GPS (even though I have not had that issue with the Archos, YET).
