Comments on: TwoNav Aventura is a lust-worthy GPS http://gpstracklog.com/2009/05/twonav-aventura.html GPS reviews, news, tips and tricks Wed, 23 May 2012 18:40:20 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v= By: GPSTECH http://gpstracklog.com/2009/05/twonav-aventura.html/comment-page-1#comment-38013 GPSTECH Wed, 30 Dec 2009 16:06:03 +0000 http://gpstracklog.com/?p=2165#comment-38013 Comparing the Aventura to a Garmin or Magellan on price you must include the supplied street navigation and Topo maps. If you must compare then compare with say the Oregon 400T with side orders of Vehicle suction mount, bike mount, Cigarette lighter power lead, 4GB SD card, Mapsource "Trip and Waypoint Manager" (comparable to TwoNav's CompeGPS land demo on CD) and at the moment a carry case you won't get much change out of $900. Admittedly the Euro being strong affects their price in USD but the Aventura with the features it does makes it a worthwhile contender. And, it is not just about price, the ability to accept the most common and professional map formats and utilise up to 32GB SD plus superior 3D+ graphics you are looking at the Rolls Royce of handheld GPS. But that's not all, no, you don't get steak knives with it, but when it comes to new and updated features it's free from TwoNav. Have you ever tried to use Garmin Topo on say the GPSMap 60CSx? No? Because you can't utilise the shaded relief in the Garmin Topo. What I am saying is, TwoNav do not encourage you to get rid of a perfectly good piece of hardware for the sake of some new software feature or function. The time consuming effort to produce low cost Topo maps especially for the Magellan, you should spend a few extras at work to give you those extra few bucks to buy the Rolls Royce of GPS.
