In today's world, life is getting easier every day. New devices are constantly appearing that help to cope with the tasks set better and faster than before. And at this very moment, GPS-navigators appear on the world stage. No, in fact, they were invented a long time ago, but their high cost and inaccessibility to purchase hindered the development of such technologies.
Everything became easier when the Android operating system appeared - corresponding programs were created and maps were “drawn”, and GPS sensors were added to devices running this OS. This article will discuss what the Navitel A730 GPS navigator is. Brief characteristics, scope of delivery and convenience of using this device will be given.
First meeting
One of the largest companies producing software and virtual maps, Navitel, has long been recognized by users. The history of sales of Navitel products began back in 2006, and at the moment, in addition to creating and improving maps, the company is engaged in the production of navigation devices directly. One of thesedevice is, in fact, a tablet based on the Android operating system. The Navitel A730 navigator is one of the best solutions in terms of size, performance and cost of the device itself.
Package set
When unpacking the box, a fairly rich package appears. Firstly, it is a holder for the device on the windshield or dashboard of the car. With it, you can place the tablet in any convenient place. Another rather pleasant news is the presence of a charger not only for a 220-volt outlet, but also for a 12-volt “cigarette lighter”.
And this is a huge plus, because while traveling you don't have to think about charging places for Navitel A730, you just need to make sure that the connection socket in the car itself is working. Another nice bonus will be an OTG cable that allows you to connect full-size flash cards to the GPS navigator and read information from them.
Specifications
With a 7-inch high-resolution display running Android OS, the device can demonstrate good performance thanks to a dual-core processor with a frequency of 1.3 GHz and 1 GB of RAM. Built-in memory size - 8 GB, of which about 5 GB are available for use.
There is also a Micro-SD card slot, which will increase the initial memory capacity by up to 32 GB. A nice addition is the ability to install twoactive SIM cards, with which you can use the 3G Internet, make voice calls and send text messages, that is, use the device as a full-fledged phone. In addition, Navitel A730 is equipped with two cameras and a Wi-Fi module.
Navigation options
When you turn on the device for the first time, you may find that the software contains a pre-installed version of the proprietary Navitel navigator. If necessary, you can connect to the network and download maps of the desired cities and even entire countries. Domestic development supports navigation in the territories of such states as Russia, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Belarus, Kyrgyzstan, Bulgaria, Moldova, Romania, Hungary and many others.
Unlike many programs that require a network connection, Navitel can work in "offline" mode, which will save battery power and will be convenient if there is no Internet connection. All that is needed for work is a constantly on GPS sensor. In addition, Navitel A730 can upload traffic information via 3G and Wi-Fi networks. A convenient addition will be the ability to plot routes and voice messages indicating the need to make certain turns and maneuvers.
Other functions
In addition to navigation, the device is also used as a regular multimedia tablet PC. With the pre-installed Android OS, it is possible to easily download applications from the Play Market, listen to music and watch movies. As mentioned above, GPSThe Navitel A730 navigator, reviews of which will be published in the last part of this article, is also suitable for capturing the most significant moments of the trip. For this, there are front and rear cameras that can easily cope with the task in good light, albeit not in the highest quality.
Became bored on the trip? It doesn't matter, because you can install any modern games. A dual-core processor and a large amount of RAM can easily cope with this task and will entertain not only adults but also children.
Navitel A730 navigator: reviews
As noted by users, the device has a high-quality assembly. In its price category, it looks better than its opponents. Another nice bonus is a set of Navitel cards, which individually cost from two to five thousand rubles, along with a license. Considering that these cards are provided free of charge with the device, you can easily think that someday this device may be useful for traveling, and not just as a tablet PC.
A small disadvantage of the Navitel A730 GPS navigator is the fact that the display is very resistant to scratches and defects. That is why many users advise immediately after purchase to glue a film on it or do lamination. This will help save your nerves and prevent the appearance of the gadget from spoiling.
I would like to add that the device has a one-year warranty against any type of damage, except for mechanical ones. Fromit follows that even in case of uncertainty about the brand, there is no doubt that the GPS navigator will work. The simple and reliable operating system "Android" will facilitate the work with the device, as it is intuitive and well thought out.
One of the most useful features in addition to navigation will be the presence of slots for SIM-cards, with which you can always access the necessary information on the Internet in any convenient place. Also, thanks to the connection to the Internet connection and information about traffic jams, you can find your way in time and try to bypass the area where traffic is difficult. That is why many users who have already bought this device definitely recommend it for purchase.
