Desription ......... The virtues of the Pharos Drive 135 begin with a crystal clear 3.5 inch LCD touch screen – and it just gets better from there. The SiRF StarIII chipset calculates satellite data as well as any GPS Navigator on the market, working with Pharos’ award-winning OSTIA software that allows easy customization and destination input, and five language options. A USB connection and an SD card slot make it easy to load maps and files for use with the integrated MP3 player and picture viewer; and the Pharos Drive 135 is preloaded with GPS maps of the entire United States preloaded onto a 2 GB SD card. The Pharos Drive 135 GPS Navigator is slim enough to fit into a briefcase for travel, and easily mounts into any car, truck or SUV using a convenient vehicle suction cup mount. The included car adapter and charger, along with the lithium Ion battery let you use the Drive 135 to get up-to-the-minute GPS data wherever you are, without recharging. It’s going to be difficult to find a comparable GPS Navigator boasting so much power and functionality in this price range, which is why the Pharos Drive 135 has received a strong showing both critically, and in the marketplace.
