Nav-Cam 7700 GPS navigation

Nov 22, 2006 gps navigation 35 Comments

Evesham just announced Nav-Cam 7700 GPS navigation system which is basically the same as AA Navigator Vive! with a different logo but the same navigation software.

The Nav-Cam 7700 features a 3.5″ touch screen and comes pre-loaded street-level maps of UK & Ireland on its built-in 256MB memory, but you still get your free SD slot to transfer media.

Just like most other systems sold in the UK the Nav-Cam 7700 also offers months (6 in this case) of speed camera databasea updates.

In the box with Nav-Cam 7700 you’ll get a car charger, windshield mount and a USB Sync Cable. It will cost you £150.

Evesham Bluemedia BM6300 TMC satellite navigation review

Jun 15, 2006 gps navigation, reviews 3 Comments

The Bluemedia 6300 TMC is Evesham’s latest attempt to take a slice of the lucrative satellite navigation market.

The slim-line design of the BM6300 TMC differs from the triangle-style casing of the popular Tom Tom sat nav devices.

This means it won’t sit well on your dashboard but it can be securely fastened using the car-mount bracket. Impressively, a bike-mount is also included in the package.

Just as with the BM6380, which we reviewed in 2005, Destinator ND mapping software is used. It’s reasonably fast when scrolling around the maps, although if you completely power-down the device it does take a while to boot up again.

Full street-level maps for the UK are included on a 256MB SD card and planning a journey is both easy and precise thanks to the full seven-digit postcode support; many sat nav devices still only accept five, or sometimes even just four postcode digits.

A stylus is included to navigate through the menu system, but thanks to the large and well-spaced on-screen buttons it’s just as easy to use your finger.

Just as with the BM6300, the screen is reasonably reflective, but staring at a sat nav device when you should be concentrating on the road isn’t particularly wise. Instead, it’s better to listen to the clear audio instructions.
