Bluepanther N4410BT
The hot-shot of the test. Unfortunately it malfunctioned at us, but this must have been the flaw of the this one piece. Details later. The Bluepanther arrived from Korea. Expert eyes might observe immediately the resemblance between this and the MyGuide 4300 model. But before turning the page its worth comparing the two navis. On one hand the front panel buttons visible on the MyGuide are gone, on the other hand the antenna of the GPS cannot be turned and furthermore the battery cannot be changed. But this is not the end of the list of differences: this blue wild animal is driven by a dual-core processor. Wow! The clock speed is 2x200 Mhz, which gives a real spin to the Windows CE v5.0 Core system, I didn’t experience not a moment of slowdown during the test. It is equipped with a relatively large, 2000 mAh battery, which allows it to run for almost 3 hours, supposed we don’t exploit all the features, as there are many of these.
Besides navigation, the Bluepanther pampers its owner with tons of applications: we can view pictures, play movies and music too. This is helped by the stereo sound system (muhaha), which works during navigation too, with a quality a bit inferior to the one expected. If this is still not enough we can keep a driving history, just be sure to keep it away from our wife, or we can start explaining where we have been. It is ideal for those with a company car, in case we have to report where we have been using the fuel. We also get a calculator, so we can keep track of the average consumption, and a notepad, which is very useful. Last but not least, the Bluepanther can function as a loudspeaker, connecting to our phone through Bluetooth. Its quality was adequate. The machine is capable of such functions – considered meaningless by me – like redirecting the sound of the MP3 player to the 3.5 jack output when actively navigating. Hooray, at least we won’t hear the sound of the traffic – there are few things with such an accident risk like this. (It’s quite fun connecting it to a normal car’s head assembly, we can hear the MP3 from the factory speakers and the navigation sound at the same time - Bog)
The mega-display with it’s 4.3" size and 480x272 pixel resolution is capable of displaying the user experience. The iGO can take advantage of this, so when in Budapest we can see half of the city at once. There is a TMC connector, in case we would be taking it with us when traveling abroad. The gadget’s speed was convincing by all means, but this was expected from the dual-core processor. So let’s see the downsides: the sample device we received was probably faulty as it forgot the time every 5 minutes and reset it to 2:00 AM. This meant that during the day iGO switched to night mode, making the screen practically invisible. I tried setting the time again but after five minutes it was night-time again. (Quality Columbian stuff can provide similar experience - Bog) So I have mixed feelings regarding the most expensive participant, probably a non-faulty device can give a better experience.
Pros: large display, fast processor, many applications.
Cons: quality of the speaker.
