Alpine Blackbird review

 

Alpine Blackbird

The Alpine Blackbird features preloaded maps on its hard drive and includes a music player, an FM modulator, and a traffic receiver.

The Alpine Blackbird lacks text-to-speech functionality and requires a separate flash memory card to play music. The screen can be difficult to read in direct sunlight, and the internal battery has a woefully short life between charges.

The Alpine Blackbird is a feature-rich vehicle GPS system and entertainment device all rolled into one sharp-looking package, but it hits a couple of roadblocks with its short battery life and sluggish route calculation.
