Asus R300 + GNS TMC - iGO light

R300 also has the picture viewer, MP3 player and video player applications. MP3 playback quality is a strong medium, which of course depends on the headphone used, but the plain player doesn’t add much to the success. There is a built-in handsfree feature, which can use the PND’s speaker or the one in our car: this worked perfectly during the test.

The battery this time is not built-in, but it can be changed, its capacity is 1300 mAh, and it keeps the device online for quite a long time. It’s an interesting fact, that this battery is used in many Asus devices, for example P525 has the same type of power source.

I have grown attached to the little Asus during the few days of the test. Unfortunately the manufacturer missed out a few features in order to let the bigger brother be sellable on the market. Even in spite of this, R300 costs less than €220 with a full Eastern-Europe map, which is a good price, compared to the competitors, so I think the razor-navi from Asus deserves a “Recommended” award.
