What I found funny:
- The MTB mode I have also learned in code "short" in the immediate vicinity know amusing diversions, including the end of June through waist-high grass Jahreserstbefahrungen
- Boring, because for decades signposted, bike paths are consistently avoided
- Stubborn as a mule: I should drive over 20km, but decide for yourself passable with a normal car route, which is only one third as long. Permanent recalculations, sometimes I do to the left, then to the right again, but shortly before the finish the Navi of 28.5 jumps to 7 Km, wants to steer me again in the detour on the county road. The same happened to me several times.
- In many cases, will "shortly" under a longer tour than the "simple" proposed
- Return paths are often performed for a change unlike Sends
- The "distance to target" motivated
What I found less funny:
- A proposal MTB 10km, target does not suit me (some coarse gravel, muddy puddles after rain over the entire path width, 2 Km to parallel of busy noisy highway). In Tourenrad- pedestrian and bike mode even me the same route is always proposed with minor variations, although there are plenty of other options. Obviously (. See "stubborn as a mule") the software takes considerable time to make recalculations: because the next day the unit knew then a viable route
-on county roads curves are repeatedly reported as branches, conversely an inconspicuous dirt road is then viewed not as a branch
- Repeated, follow a branch instruction to be shortly after a "request back" einzuhandeln
- Approximately 4 Km from one destination I turn the Navi on a forest road: alleged Distance 18.5 Km! I drive in the only possible direction: the distance to the target increases to 18.9, then suddenly veers precisely off to 3.5. Repeated like, for example:
We come from the forest path on a county road, but do not know exactly where. Navi one:. Target 13 Km I suspect: to the left. Shortly thereafter display 13.2, naturally stop command, the right was therefore correct. We drive accordingly (the only way). After several hundred meters I look back down: 17.9 for goal. Really great!
- The adjustable (but not in volume) beep is for me - 60+ generation - often (especially in wind and road)
much too quiet. So you check back often on display. This is especially in urban areas often winding route guidance is not road safety benefit!
- Despite saving circuit (. Backlight only 15 seconds, no track record) remains the battery after 5 charging cycles about one third of the promised performance, already apparent before any more profile change is accepted!
- You can not tell if you will be out on asphalt, paved road, Holperpfad or molle engined sand! As stated above: even a profile change takes account of the considerable inertia of no help if you "track relief" searches.
- Zoom in part "hakelig" many times brauchts a time until you find a place name.
- Selecting "Heading up" has not always worked.
What I would not have been amused:
up some of what I have stated above, if I had been ortsunkundig!
Summary:
The unit makes a solid external Eindruck.Sehr good is the intuitive menu navigation, including the elaborate possibilities of the target entries. The display is sufficiently easy to read, worlds better than mobile phones etc, but the sound is too quiet except when Dauergepiepe for route deviation.
One gets included extensive maps.
Navigation is however very mixed: partly succeeded in Greater Lüneburg, but repeatedly also outrageous.
I can not judge whether some shortcomings in my unit were already harbingers of then occurred defect, could imagine a future new purchase at least.
So for me, a nice gimmick; if you go alone, you have all kinds of variety, you can record routes etc.
Those who want to mainly orient, is mE with map, some intuition and occasional requests for pedestrians better served.
After the return of this device I am going to order me once for a fraction of the money the book "Getting lost" by Katrin Passignano.
Two tips even if the manufacturer / distributor is reading.
How about a headphone jack?
Among the POIs are in my region even distant monuments, but not far more important monuments that yes could also serve the orientation (eg churches with its towers) listed. As could supplement but certainly a lot?
