ColorMap StreetPilot Garmin


Garmin's StreetPilot GPS was the 1st in the vehicle marketplace to offer a complete mapping system that was both movable and cheap. The StreetPilot GPS ColorMap takes up where its sister product left off by boasting a razor sharp, high resolution, 16 color display for easy map reading. ColorMap works in an auto, truck, or van.Designed mainly for the car, the ColorMap improves on the StreetPilot's basemap info by adding exit info for the federal interstate highway system that lists available services like food, lodging, and service stations. It also holds a reference basemap showing Interstate, U.S., and State highways, plus rivers and lakes in the US, Canada, and Mexico, with major arterial streets shown in metropolitan regions. The ColorMap is matched with Garmin's complete line of downloadable MapSource CD ROMs. When paired with the MapSource MetroGuide USA CD ROM, the ColorMap will store eight to 128 megabytes of downloaded CD ROM info at a time based on the size of the cartridge you use in the unit.The ColorMap features a high performance 12 parallel channel GPS receiver for fast satellite acquisition and dependable signal reception, if you are under concentrated tree cover or enclosed by high rise skyscrapers. Text and graphics are shown in big type for easy looking at, with a screen light modification and a night mode that alters the display colors for looking at in dim ambient conditions. The unit also comes with a cigarette lighter adapter for those times when you do not have to rely on battery power.

Review:
Garmin's StreetPilot GPS ColorMap features a big, bright color display but lacks a surprising number of features that are included with some of the less costly world positioning systems that we have tested. intended for use in a car, this GPS comes with a dash mount, cigarette lighter adapter, and a serial cable for interfacing with a PC.

At 1.3 pounds and nearly seven inches large, the GPS ColorMap is not tiny. The reason for the unit's bulk is the comparatively big 16 color backlit display, 1.8 inches high by 3.3 inches large, that leads the front of the device. The color screen serves up clear pictures that are much easier to interpret than those made by a grayscale display. it is much like looking at a regular road atlas, with red interstates, gray secondary roads, and light blue rivers crisscrossing a bright yellow background. A night mode switches the yellow background to black, and there are some number of levels of light that make the unit legible despite of the lighting we tested it in. as well, in our tests, the 12 channel GPS receiver took a amazingly long time to get satellite signals, but once they were locked in the unit precisely tracked our movements and never broke its lock when we passed through tunnels or heavily forested regions.

The map database included with the device holds most of the big highways and all of the interstates for the complete United States also as the more important city streets in big metropolitan regions. This limitations the device out of the box for use mainly for cross country travel. but, the map database may be extended via a cartridge slot in the battery compartment that accepts individually available eight MB or 16 MB cartridges. Garmin sells cartridges preloaded with in depth map info, or you may be able to purchase a blank cartridge and a MapSource MetroGuide CD ROM to download data from your PC to the GPS. The fitted database comes with info on interstate exits and labels big bodies of water, but MetroGuide upgrades add many more features like street level maps for complete cities, restaurant data, and the capability to pinpoint a particular address.

though the StreetPilot GPS ColorMap is easy to use and greatly correct, it has some number of shortcomings that detract from its in general value. An auto routing feature that lets users enter a departure point and destination to get directions could have been nice. As it's, users are forced to enter routes manually or download them from computer software that's matched with this device. The GPS ColorMap comes with a PC interface cable but no software to download. Most GPS devices in this price range offer pages and pages of data resulting from complex interior calculations, but this product offers only the moving map page and a Dashboard page that serves as a basic trip computer. For this price, we projected more. Also of note is the unit's underwhelming 2.5 hour battery life, which forced us to enter complex routes while the device beed powered by the cigarette lighter adapter. T. Byrl Baker

Pros: Cons:


Designed mainly for the car, the basemap data of Garmin's StreetPilot GPS ColorMap displays exit info for the federal interstate highway system, info like available food, lodging, and service stations. It also holds a reference basemap showing interstate, U.S., and state highways, plus rivers and lakes in the United States, Canada, and Mexico, with major arterial streets shown in metropolitan regions. you may be able to plug in optional data cards MetroGuides for street level map detail, access to business listings, and points of interest in your area.

The ColorMap features a high performance GPS receiver with twelve parallel channels for fast satellite acquisition and dependable signal reception, if you are under concentrated tree cover or enclosed by high rise skyscrapers. The high resolution, 16 color display makes map reading easier. The Garmin StreetPilot GPS ColorMap shows text and graphics in big type for looking at convenience, and has a screen light modification and a night mode that alter the display colors for looking at in dim ambient conditions. The unit also comes with a free cigarette lighter adapter so you will not generally have to rely on battery power. The StreetPilot ColorMap works in trucks and vans also.
