Portable Delphi NAV300 Review

The Delphi Nav300 is a full-featured portable GPS unit that does everything from directing you to the store to playing MP3s. It’s small enough to be unobtrusive in the car, and does a great job of getting you to your pre-defined destination, as well as finding locations for you such as banks and restaurants. It comes with dimensions of 4.6 inches wide by 3.1 inches tall by 1.1 inches deep and 7.6 ounces and with these dimensions, the Delphi NAV300 is still a compact and ultraportable unit, so you should have no problems transporting it between vehicles. On front of the device, you have a 3.5-inch, 320x240-pixel-resolution touch screen. The display has an antiglare coating. For route guidance, you get Navteq maps of the United States and Canada preloaded on the included SD card; you can get directions by entering a specific street address, an intersection, a point on a map, or a location on your Favorites or Recent Destinations list. The system can create itineraries by the fastest or shortest route; with or without interstates and toll roads; and in vehicle, pedestrian, or bicycle mode. A new feature to the Delphi NAV300 is integrated Bluetooth. With this, you can connect your Bluetooth-enabled cell phone or smart phone and use the NAV300 as a hands-free speaker system to make and receive calls. It also includes a music and video player as well as an image viewer. The media player supports MP3 and WAV files and AVI video format, while you can view JPEG, GIF, and PNG images.
