Alpine Blackbird PMD-B100T - GPS receiver - automotive Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought an Alpine Blackbird because of the rep Alpine has, and for its good looks. I admit that I didn't do the homework I usually do online before the purchase. At first I was extremely disappointed because it seemed to route me on wierd pathways. I even exchanged it at the store for another because I was convinced there was a problem with the unit I bought.

After sitting down and "playing" with it for several hours, I finally understand that the routing you choose (there are four: shortest, quickest, and minimize, or maximize,use of interstates) makes a HUGE difference. Pick some local places you are familiar with, sit in your most comfortable chair, and choose different routing methods to the same place, using the demo feature. You'll soon learn how this device works, and then you will truly be able to enjoy it for what it is--a great piece of equipment.

It's beautiful to look at. The windshield-mount cradle is sturdy and doesn't allow it to vibrate around. It's easy to see the screen, and the only real quibble I now have is battery life--about two hours on a full charge. I plan to use it on my motorcycle, and I don't want to add the wiring to my bike, so I'll buy a second battery and change it out when necessary.

Overall, I rate this product highly. The main thing is to take some time to really understand how it works. There may be systems out there that are more intuitive, but once you get a handle on this machine, I think it is a very good one. It retailed at close to 500 d's until the new "200" model came out, so you can get some great near 200 d deals on these B100T's right now. I'd say, do it.

Cobra CPI 475 400 Watt Power Inverter Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We needed a higher power interter to use in our RV when camping without shore power.We needed to power two laptop computers, charge cell phones and PDAs and run a small fan.This Cobra unit reviewed well so I ordered one from Amazon.It was delivered in just a few days (thanks Amazon). It has a solid feel to it, connectors are of good quality, and it is small enough not to be obtrusive in the confines of an RV.I used the cigarette lighter plug and put this on our dining table.The two AC plugs accommodated two AC adapters for laptops.As a bonus, there is a USB port on the Cobra that will supply 5 volts! So, I can charge my Blackberry simultaneously.What a delight!!The unit has an internal fan which only runs as needed.If I'm just charging a cell phone, then the fan does not run - but when I've got a load on - the fan runs and effectively cools the inverter.This is not a pure sine wave inverter but I've had no trouble at all using it with various laptops, pdas, fans, and cell phone chargers.I've not used it to power a TV or Radio (those could be more sensitive to interter noise).After a months use, I'm delighted with the inverter - it meets my needs completely.

XtremeMac IPV-APV-10 AirPlay Boost FM Transmitter for iPod Video (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)A good FM transmitter is certainly hard to come by. In general none are actually good; it usually comes down to finding the lesser of too evils. I previously had the original Airplay by XtremeMac. I liked that transmitter a lot although there were some problems. When I got my new 80 gig iPod, i needed to get a new transmitter and --after a lot of research-- decided on this one.
Simply stated, this transmitter is ingenious, the best out there. The signal strength is amazing (and far surpasses the old one), I've actually gotten a clear sound standing over 35 away from the receiver. The Airply Boost actually over-powered my friend's iTrip (when we put them on the same station) and his was closer to the receiver.
The on-screen display with the controls is really easy to use and has some useful features that other transmitters do not (like the mono/stereo option). The fact that it is on the screen means that the Airplay Boost does not waste the battery unnecessarily.
That brings me to another point: portability. The Airplay is very portable. Unlike the Belkin Tunecast(s)there is no extra wire. Rather, the Airplay becomes part of the iPod. In addition, the Airplay is incredibly light (and quite chic in my opinion) so it does not really affect weight. Some FM transmitters attempt to sell themselves on their great car integration. True, some may fit into the cup holders, but with the pass-through dock connector, you can plug in AND take out a power supply whether it is in your house or it is a car charger (which you can't always on the car only ones). I'd like to go back to another point: the battery. The Airplay runs off the iPod's battery, which is great for transportation.
The biggest problem I had with the old one was that it drained the battery a lot. Maybe it's just the new battery, but I find the Airplay Boost to affect the battery a lot less, and with the pass through dock connector, power is rarely an issue.
Just a note on the design, the extra antenna actually rotates (which turned out to be a pleasant surprise for me).
The Airplay Boost, as a matter of fact, only has one issue. That is that the Airplay prevents you from putting most (not all) cases on your iPod. For me, the pros greatly outweighed that con and I don't think about it too much. As a matter of fact, I can't really think of any other cons. So, for all iPod owners, the Airplay Boost is a must-have and far surpasses any other FM transmitters (it has a plethora of unique features and superior power). I've had mine for over a month and I use it more than my headphones. For $31 on Amazon, its a steal.

Uniden Gps402 Maptrax 4-Inch Portable GPS Navigator Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)All of the GPS units in the $300-$400 price range have some limitations.But, this Uniden GPS-402 works great is easy to use and has very few negatives.The only ones which I could see were no text-to-speech capability and no Bluetooth wireless functions.If these two issues do not concern you, then this is the GPS for you.This is a great looking GPS with a beautiful 4" screen which is auto adjusting and excellent in direct sunlight.The 402 uses the latest version of NavTeq maps and has wonderful planning & routing options which you cannot get on the Garmin models (add, delete & mark way points and view routes).The GPS-402 comes with an excellent windshield dock and bracket which is easy to attach and remove and is very stable.Exceptional ergonomics and functionality - one can cancel the current route by simply touching the corner of the map screen.One can get to the route option screen by touching any part of the map screen while proceeding to the destination.Even though it does not have text-to-speech the GPS-402 works very well with visual bars and a voice counting down from 1000 feet before turns.One can display the entire route on the screen by simply dragging the screen toward the destination point before you drive it.The unit can also route by street intersections as well as addresses and POI's.The POI database is current and seems to have a countless numbers of restaurants and other points which I checked for some small and large towns. It pulled up every imaginable museum for the greater Seattle area.This was better than expected since it states over 2 million POI's total.Maybe they save on some categories like movie theaters.This GPS also has excellent external buttons and controls which can same time over using screen menus.The GPS-402 has the latest SiRF III chipset and tracks in seconds with instant auto rerouting. Did I mention that this GPS seems well built and comes in a very attractive case with black rubber grips on the sides (looks better than the picture). I understand that the Garmins are very easy to use and are great products, but I will stay with the Uniden with a larger and better looking screen , more functionality & routing options, with the same ease of use for less money than the Nuvi-350.
