Test: GoClever Navio 2540 Satnav

Bericht#1 » 24 aug 2017, 22:13

49€ at Conrad

Advertisement says:
-worldwide free maps
-MicroSD slot
-USB cable
-holder with suction cup
-speaker/power for 12V lighter socket
-integrated 950mAh Li accu

I say:

The included manual is very small and explains almost nothing. Even it lacks German. (Not an issue for me, but in East Germany you had to learn Russian in school - not English.)

The "worldwide" maps have to be downloaded first.
Preinstalled is Middle and East Europe, it does not even know the Netherlands. (GoClever is situated in Poland.)
You need a PC to make full use of the unit. Download is free and easy (for computer-accustomed people).
4GB fits onto the system, all together is nearly 16GB. Just copy the country maps via Windows-Explorer/USB.
Maps are based on Open Street Map and are very detailed (house numbers included).

Search function is buggy. Even if the map already shows my desired street, the search function can't find it. It's not a matter of OSM maps, as Garmin/Basecamp does find it with OSM maps.

The touch screen is not easy to use. Frequently, instead of scrolling in a list or on the map, the first touch point is selected.
That's still an issue for me, I prefer my Garmin Satnav which has different buttons for scrolling up/down/left/right, quit, select, ....

No IPX protection class declared. (Unlike Garmin outdoor/marine/aviation units.)
Better protect it from falling and drowning and even rain. (Conrad has several covers and attachments.)
Still not bad for its price. Garmin Satnavs (which can display a map) start at 199€.

I'm about to try "Waze" on my smartphone.
It's based on Google Maps, but better.
And... it' for free.

Smartphone for free? :yahoo: Very good!

GoClever and Garmin provide only free software - both for mobile units and PC.
But the unit itself isn't free.

On my phone i use google maps for normal navigation and for planned trips i inport gpx files that i make with tyre on pc into OSMAnd. (OpenSourceMap Android). This works quite well, although if you go from the planned route it doesnt replan. It just draws a straight line, which could be better. But it served me well on my trip and previous tours. One advantage i have over most people is that my phone is waterproof. It can even be submerged in water for quite a while, so rain isnt a problem. Only with charging.

Ik gebruik ook OSMAnd maar bij mij herberekend hij wel als je van de route afwijkt.
Je moet dan wel geduld hebben want wacht hier iets langer mee als Google Maps.
Voordeel van OSMANnd vind ik de instelmogelijkheden.
Je kunt kiezen voor het vermijden van snelwegen, onverhard, veerpont, trappen en nog een aantal meer.
Zelf vind ik nr. 2 onverhard wel handig Google Maps heeft me hier weleens voor een dillema gesteld.

@Reyn, als ik gewoon navigeer herberekend de app natuurlijk wel. Maar ik heb het over als ik een gpx navigatiebestand gebruik. Dan word er niet herberekend.
