Asus R300

When you think about navigation devices, the brands names that likely immediately come to mind are Garmin, Magellan, TomTom, and maybe Mio. But motherboard stalwart ASUS is out to change that perception by introducing two new GPS devices. Our review...

Multi-segment routing. Multiple vehicle and road profiles. Excellent language support. Route-saving feature

Lacks text-to-speech conversion. Bluetooth hands-free feature sounds muffled, and it wouldn't recognize contacts from my phone. FM transmitter doesn't work well

This stylish entry-level GPS device packs the features, but it won't cost you a fortune.

Cheap Motorcycle GPS

Haven't tried any software or map updates yet. I should do that.

I love it for motorcycle. I put it inside a tank bag, under the clear plastic map pocket. I use the FM transmitter for directions. Should be great for city walking also. (Got sort of lost in Berlin, I never get lost, ouch.)

Uses special battery. Still hard to see in bright light. (Not looking anyway when riding motorcycle; need to stop.) FM transmitter can be overwhelmed by FM noise on the busy city highway, especially around airports. Works fine away from town

Avoid

tons of features only available on higher end units

horrendous manual! Poor interface... stick with Garmin and/or TomTom - they use english speaking engineers to design their products and manuals

Great GPS for the money

My first GPS. For what I paid for, this is a really great GPS. The visuals and modes of display are great. I don't have any experience with other GPS, so take that in consideration.

Great visual display, lots of features. Very nice packaging. Quick to find satellite. Very compact design. Comes with great little protective case that fits in your pocket.

Doesn't come with something to let you write to the sd card. A little slow booting up. Not a lot of points of interest.

Nice little GPS ”

I got this GPS as a spare GPS that I could just leave in the car without worrying about it even if the heat or cold ruined it since it was cheap. I so far don't regret buying it. It runs Windows CE.NET 5.0 operating system with a Samsung 400MHz...

Teriffic GPS

Comparing to my old Garmin Street Pilot, ASUS R300 really impressed me a lot. With under 200 bucks expense, you got everything you need for navigation. A pre-load US and Canada map in a 2G SD card is included, bluetooth handsfree calling suport works...
