Find My Car Knockdown….And The Winner Is?

April 7, 2016January 7, 2011 by Jim Szymanski

With my shiny new WP7 phone that works pretty well in sunlight and quick responding GPS, I decided it was time to find a “where did I park my car” kind of app. Tired of trying to remember which door I entered through at the big malls. Starting my search I was a bit dismayed … Read more

Mobility Digest Review: RightWay Spotter Dale Jr. Edition 4.3" Touchscreen GPS

October 7, 2025August 29, 2010 by Kristofer Brozio

Today for review Geeks has sent me over another of their GPS Devices, this one though is bit special in that it’s a themed type with Dale Jr as its theme. Yes, it’s a Nascar themed GPS unit that comes with pictures and movies featuring Dale Jr and the GPS uses Dale’s voice to guide you along the way. If you don’t want his voice you can of course change it to one of the other selections. The unit itself is really a portable media player with GPS functionality, it can do movies, music, pictures and even e-books. As a GPS unit it works well really, except for having Dale’s voice guide you, that can be annoying…

Mobility Digest Review: Nextar Q4 4.3" Touchscreen Portable GPS Review

October 7, 2025May 21, 2010 by Kristofer Brozio

Today for review I’ve got a portable GPS for review that was provided to me by Geeks.com. It’s the Nextar Q4 touch screen portable GPS which also can be used as an MP3 player and you can view photos with it. It comes with maps for the United States and in my time with it I’ve found that it works very well, I like it almost as much as my TomTom really. it works just as well as the TomTom, and it’s great substitute for it, the main difference is configurability, there really isn’t any like you would find on a TomTom. Navigating with the Nextar is fine, it gets the GPS signal very quickly and it updates the route as you travel in real time. So it works great really, and I like, so read on to learn more..

Advent ADV800XM 4" Touchscreen Portable GPS Navigation System

October 7, 2025January 1, 2010 by Kristofer Brozio

Happy New Year!! it’s a new year and time for a new review from me!

A couple weeks ago I took a look at the TomTom One Xl GPS, today I’ve got another GPS unit for review but it’s much more than just a GPS device though. It’s from our friends at Geeks.com who have many discount GPS devices like the one I have today. It’s the Advent ADV800XM 4” Touchscreen portable GPS navigation System and it’s not only a GPS device but an FM transmitter, MP3 player and even a photo viewer with the option of adding XM Satellite radio and even a Back Up Camera to the unit for even more functionality.

I was curious how something like the Advent, which is from Audiovox, compared to the ever popular TomTom series of GPS devices. I’ve found that TomTom is still the king of GPS devices, but this little Advent does have some very cool features that even I appreciate. Sp read on to learn more…
