Before many motorists there was a problem of choosing between the communicator and navigator. The first good opportunity to connect to the internet, display traffic jams and mobile communications, and the second involves low cost and ease of use. This summer, was released teXet TN-600 Voice, a hybrid of the Navigator and Communicator "economy class": in addition to route navigation with built-in it GSM / GPRS-module can be loaded jams and mobile services. Externally, the device is not much different from most colleagues. Rectangular case made of soft-touch soft plastic (soft-touch), which are not fingerprinted. The front side of the left is the charging indicator, connect to your computer and work the GPS-receiver. In the first two cases, it flashes red, and the third - in blue. Next to the indicator, on the edge, built-in connectors miniUSB (for PC connection and charging). SIM card and microSD memory card is inserted into the holes on the right edge, densely covered with caps. The upper and lower ends of the notches can be felt for the attachment. The stylus is removed from the bottom of the Navigator. True, to get it was not so easy - within a test navigator he held very tightly, for example, brittle nails, this female sharp object from the rigid plastic is a real threat. "Reset" button located at the rear, where she accidentally zadenesh. Note that this is the key, not the miserable hole for the rod handle. Beside her are the dynamics of holes. On top of the screen in the right corner is the home button on-off device. All housing studied can begin to review the software. After switching the device on the touch screen there is a simple and user-friendly menus, which can operate without using the stylus - with your fingers. Get used to the touch, you can quickly display, clearly recognizes the demands of touch. On the menu is easy to manage as holders of thin fingers and big toes. The main menu has eight icons: navigation, internet, SMS, calls, contacts, media, utilities and system. On the test TN-600 Voice program was installed Navitel support function to traffic jams. But the device can work with other navigation software, is enough to write them on a memory card (better to upload it on a removable flash drive). Before you load the traffic information you need to activate the work of GPRS-Internet. For SIM cards MTS, Beeline and Megafon in the device is already registered settings, and others will have to do it manually. To not squandered all the money in a few days, it is better to install the update traffic jams every half hour. And if necessary, for example in rush hour, you can download the information manually. Navigator offers an alternative way of which a great many in the city center is just getting used to the constant petlyaniyu on a small, but often tightly parked streets. At the heart of the city where many buildings around, the navigation is very bad catches satellites. A pointer to the location of constantly jumping to the neighboring streets, and on major roads - even into the oncoming lane (like on the Garden Ring), and immediately began to panic: "You have gone the route." Twice a week he was hanged after the exit from route "during an unattended installation of a new path. Web page displayed in the browser Microsoft Internet Explorer, adapted for the PDA. Working with the site begins with a company page teXet, where useful information: SDA, weather, news, humor, etc. But the speed of loading pages upset - have to wait a long time. Read on the go, even in traffic, very uncomfortable (because of small print), dangerous, besides it is unnerving riding behind - you can miss the moment when the car in front moves forward. If you select «SMS» appears keyboard with numbers and then letters. The icons are large enough so to send a message not necessary to remove the stylus. Not very convenient that the keyboard takes up almost the entire screen, obscuring the typed text. For comfortable use menu item "Call" button in your browser has an address book and call history is recorded. At a distance of 20-30 cm from the speaker to hear his perfect companion - navigator can not remove from mounting on the windshield. SIM card will likely have to buy separately, so as to carry anywhere with a browser will not work. The device is also equipped with a module, Bluetooth - connect it to your phone will not succeed. Note that on a previous version of the Navigator (TN-600 omitting Voise) features a conversation was not only sending SMS. Another useful bonus TN-600 - the ability to view video and images, music and audiobooks. In addition, the device can be used as a "reading room" for text documents. It will only read with a portable USB drive, rather than built-in memory. True, the video he plays by no means all - the new formats are not read, they have to convert older codecs. Icon "System" includes the date and time settings, sounds, volume control, the opportunity to select the language, find out the current battery voltage, adjust the brightness of the screen. Also, the device can configure the "Network": enter the number of SMS-center, change the GPRS settings, etc. The number of captured satellites can be found in paragraph «GPS Info». Navigator is very convenient to connect to your computer via miniUSB, manage it with a PC you can run ActiveSync. Also, you can simply insert into the card reader memory stick and use it as storage media. The only pity is that not included carrying case in your pocket, and the battery without the cigarette lighter is enough only for 3-5 hours, depending on the running programs. But do not forget that the TN-600 Voice is primarily directed at the automotive market. Navigator will definitely be a success in the market due to its cost and rich equipment. Should not exaggerate the possibilities TN-600, this is not a mini-version of the laptop. Navigation, tracking traffic jams, mobile communications and Internet integrated into one unit cost of 10,000 rubles. And these useful properties - the main companions of the modern motorist.
