Drive GPS 140 from Pharos

Oct 4, 2006 gps navigation

An old name in GPS navigation – Pharos – just introduced a GPS navigation system from called the Drive GPS 140. The new system comes with a 4 inch color display and maps of U.S.A and Canada pre-loaded onto a 2GB SD card. Just like most top of the line systems out there, Pharos also included Bluetooth hands free capability plus voice guidance to keep your eyes on the road and hands on the wheel while driving.

Pharos went ahead and integrated todays most common GPS receiver – the SiRF Star III – into GPS 140 and not to be left behind threw in some media players as well.

In the box you’ll find AC and car charger, car mount kit, some manuals and CDs, the 2GB SD card, headset, and the USB cable. The site claims the new GPS 140 has a slim design which better be true because the device already looks a bit ugly from the front.

GPS 140 is priced at $550 which is a good deal considering its’ features but lets wait for the reviews to see if it can compete with the big boys out there.
