1. Like the slider bars for speed warning, volume, etc
2. Like the "intuitive" keyboard where after a key is pressed, the non-relevant next characters are blackened out.
3. Visual feel is nice, especially with the animated turn icons.

1. I love the fact that it has a "Pedestrain" mode-- as well as a choice of many other modes of transportation. So few GPS programs will route you around town while on foot. Very nice feature.

2. I like the "human sounding" voice. Far too many programs have a very robotic voice that makes it sometimes hard to understand or just plan weird. I like the natural sounding human voice of OCN6.

3. I really love the huge finger friendly buttons! It's normally a pain entering addresses on the fly and it looks like OCN6 got this one right. The on screen buttons are large, well placed, well spaced and input seems intuitive. I also like the way the buttons "disappear" on the keyboard as you enter a street or city name-- like predictive text. Very nice touch!

I like the options especially the speed warnings and dynamic volume.
I like that you have prelisted POIs
I too like the large Buttons.

Seems like a very intuitive and user friendly system.

1) I like the speed at which is figures out a route
2) When entering an address, it automatically trys to figure out what you're typing, and limits the chances of mis-spelling a street name.
3) All of the maps for USA & Canada are pre-loaded, so you don't have to spend extra money on them.

I couldn't decide which 3 of these I liked the most, so here are my 4 top likes.

1) The 3D display is great. The street names are very easy to find and read, and your route is clearly marked.
2) Having the entire package on an SD card will cut down on the hassles some other packages require to install and use them.
3) The Popup POIs make it easy to get detailed information. Not going through "screen flips" is very nice.
4) The intuitive data entry makes it impossible to make mistakes and cuts down the time it takes to find places.

1. Pedestrian and Bicycle modes - encouragement to get off your butt in a new place!
2. Much larger list of POI's with great breakdowns.
3. Larger buttons - makes it a lot easier and not so easy to "miss".

1-I like the easy, simple user interface
2-Based on what I can tell, I like the route simulation based on your journey to see a preview of where you are going. If this is not a function, the actual tracking of map vs where you are was real smooth, I like that
3-The POI seems do think ahead of you and eliminate options (words, streets etc) that do not exist base don the previous keyed in item.

This looks to be very nice detailed software.

3-D view with auto-zoom
Clear voice for directions
US and Canada preloaded on storage card

Living in Hawaii presents its challanges recognizing all the names!
1. Visually I like the perspective of this software in how it not only hovers, but then zooms in to give a good detail view. Mind you this is only from the demo provided, but from what I see, this is eye and direction appealing.
2. Route parameters also are diverse enough for what I do too. In a cab, or other type of vehicle and what type of routes including dirt road or hard road etc. Even if you were on a motorbike.
3. Choices of stores, and points of intrest, good selection.
Ok heres another:
4. The ability to rotate screen, is also a plus depending on what hand you are holding it in.
What hasn't been mentioned, but would be good to know, is if there is the ability to add points or locations for future reference. If this is included too, that is another plus!

I am on the road all the time and traveling making inspections. This setup is something I definitly could put to good use.

Having never owned a GPS unit I don't have a frame of reference, however, in no particular order I like:

1. The user friendly UI, especially the auto complete function.
2. The large buttons (fingers like sausages :D )
3. The preconfigured daytime/nightime backlight settings.

That being said, all the preprogrammed shopping POI's could be a danger to my bank account should my wife get ahold of it!

cconover2 · 03-29-07, 06:38 PM

Wow is all I can say.

1. I love the Pedestrian mode. I do door to door sales during the summers and that would be great to have.

2. I love the large buttons and the easy of use.

3. It is great that one can look up for example Walmart and it will direct them right to it, it great.

I would love to win this.
