Acer P610 GPS review

acer-p610-443.jpgAcer’s new P610 GPS navigation system got reviewed recently and it received 4 stars out of 5. The P610 is a compact, slim device which features a 4″ screen. Acer pre-installed the Copilot 6 mapping software which is a good name in the mapping business. The GPS receiver in the P610 is the SiRF Star III chipset and the device can also function as an MP3 player, photo viewer and store a contacts database for easy navigation to known addresses.

The reviewer only found one frustrating feature with the P610 which was in the software department:

There’s no support for full postcode searching. You’ll have to do things the ‘old-fashioned’ way, selecting a country, partial postcode, street name and house number. This is rather frustrating; the interface is awkward with a rather clunky address database so don’t even think about doing it on the move.

Acer P610 is priced at around £220.
