Navigator TeXet TN-515DVR - universal media combine

In this material the GPS-navigator TeXet TN-515DVR, which successfully combined the positioning device and the DVR, will be considered.

Appearance of the device and attachment

To manufacture the case of the device, the manufacturer used a good soft plastic. This can be immediately felt after removing the protective shell from the navigator. In the hands of this model does not slip, which simplifies the fastening of the device to the windshield of the vehicle. Another distinctive characteristic of the navigator is its accurate execution. The device is equipped with a connector for connecting the AV cable and the headset in the left end. In addition, the navigator has a miniUSB connector and a slot for a microSD memory card.

In the upper end of the equipment is the input for connecting the power cable and one more slot for installing the memory card. It will be by the way to say that it is on the card located in the upper honor of the device that video recording of the situation on the road will be subsequently recorded. The lens of the camcorder is located on the back of the device, and next to it there is a speaker of the loudspeaker, a pencil case with a stylus and a cap.

On the glass, the portable navigator is fixed by means of a bracket. This device is made of high-quality durable plastic with a quality hinged joint.

About the menu and display

Full loading of the operating system of the device occurs within eight seconds after pressing the power button. The main menu of the navigator consists of eight sections and is almost the same as the other devices of the manufacturer. The only difference is the presence of an additional icon "DVR".

Among the advantages of the menu is the availability of a currency converter, a convenient calendar, and an engineering calculator. In addition, there are as many as six gaming applications. Also worth noting are large enough and easy to click menu icons.

Navigator TeXet is equipped with a display of five inches, while it is widescreen. It should be noted a sufficient margin of brightness adjustment, as well as convenient control settings. In general, the display produces a positive impression of its work. Of course, the screen viewing angles are inferior to other more expensive devices like the Samsung Galaxy Tab. But nevertheless, they are good enough for such an inexpensive model.

Among other advantages of the screen, you can note a good sensitivity when you touch a finger or a stylus. The quality of photos leaves much to be desired. But do not forget that this is a GPS-navigator, not a camera.

On my way

The navigation application icon is named "In the way". By clicking on this menu item, the "Navitel" application is launched. If necessary, you can install other navigation programs or TeXet navigation cards on the device. It should be noted that "Navitel" is regularly updated and supplemented, it is possible to add different maps depending on the country in which the motorist will use the navigator.

Of the few shortcomings of this device, you can identify the lack of a Bluetooth interface, which makes it impossible to obtain the necessary information about congestion on the roads. By the way, this navigation device TeXet is equipped with a GPS-receiver of increased sensitivity. This device has shown its effectiveness on the roads between high-rise buildings, when the horizon view does not allow receiving the signal from a large number of satellites. The same goes for work in the forest.

Videography

The advantage of this device is the presence of a built-in DVR. You can start shooting through the navigator menu or by pressing the button in the upper end of the case. The recording is in VGA format. In this case, the recorded movies are saved on the installed memory card. It will be by the way to emphasize that each video carries in itself information about the date and time of recording. The quality of video shooting at a fairly good level, however, the numbers of cars will be considered only at close range.

In conclusion, I want to note that the GPS-navigator TeXet TN-515DVR is an inexpensive solution, which has an undeniable advantage in the form of a bundle with an integrated DVR.
