In today's world, life is becoming easier every day. New devices are constantly appearing that help to cope with tasks better and faster than before. And at this very moment, GPS navigators appear on the world stage. No, in fact, they were invented for a long time, but their high cost and inaccessibility to purchase hindered the development of such technologies.
Everything became simpler when the Android operating system appeared - the 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 specifications, scope of delivery and convenience of using this device will be described.
First meeting
One of the largest software and virtual card companies, 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 finalizing maps, the company produces directly devices for navigation. One of these devices is, in fact, a tablet based on the Android operating system. Navitel A730 is one of the best solutions regarding the size, performance and cost of the device itself.
Contents of delivery
When unpacking the box, you see a fairly rich package. Firstly, it is a holder for the device on the windshield or car panel. With it, you can place the tablet in any convenient place. Another pretty good 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, since during travel you do not have to think about the charging places of the Navitel A730, you just need to make sure that the connector for the connection in the car itself is working. Another nice bonus is the OTG cable, which allows you to connect full-sized flash cards to the GPS navigator and read information from them.
Specifications
The device with a 7-inch display and high resolution under the control of the Android OS is able to demonstrate good performance thanks to a dual-core processor with a frequency of 1.3 GHz and 1 GB of RAM. The size of the internal memory is 8 GB, of which about 5 GB are available for use.
There is also a slot for installing flash cards in the Micro-SD format, which will increase the initial memory capacity by a maximum of 32 GB. A nice addition is the ability to install two active 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, the Navitel A730 is equipped with two cameras and a Wi-Fi module.
Navigation features
When you turn on the device for the first time, you may find that the software contains a preinstalled version of the proprietary Navitel navigator. If necessary, you can connect to the network and download maps of the necessary cities and even entire countries. Domestic development supports navigation in the territories of such countries as Russia, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Belarus, Kyrgyzstan, Bulgaria, Moldova, Romania, Hungary and many others.
Unlike many programs that require a network connection, Navitel can work offline, which will save battery power and will be convenient if there is no Internet connection. All you need to work is a constantly-on GPS sensor. In addition, the Navitel A730 can load traffic information using 3G and Wi-Fi networks. A convenient addition will be the ability to lay routes and voice messages indicating the need for certain turns and maneuvers.
Other functions
In addition to navigation, the device is used as a regular multimedia tablet PC. Having 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, the Navitel A730 GPS 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 lighting, albeit not in the highest quality.
Getting bored on a trip? It doesn’t matter, you can install any modern games. A dual-core processor and a considerable amount of RAM can easily cope with this task and will entertain not only adults, but also children.
Navitel A730: reviews
According to users, the device is notable for high-quality assembly. In its price category, it looks better than opponents. Another nice bonus is a set of Navitel cards, which individually will cost from two to five thousand rubles along with a license. If you take into account that these cards are provided free of charge with the device, then you can easily think about the fact that once this unit can be useful for traveling, and not just as a tablet PC.
A small minus of the Navitel A730 GPS navigator is the fact that the display is very unstable to scratches and defects. That is why many users advise immediately after the purchase to glue a film on it or make a lamination. This will help preserve the nerves and prevent the appearance of the gadget from deteriorating.
I would like to add that a one-year warranty is provided on the device for breakdowns of any type, except mechanical ones. It follows that even in case of uncertainty about the brand, there is no doubt that the GPS-navigator will work. The simple and reliable Android operating system will facilitate the work with the device, as it is intuitive and well thought out.
One of the most useful functions 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 at any convenient place. Also, due to the connection to the Internet connection and traffic information, you can find your bearings in time and try to go around the area where traffic is difficult. That is why many users who have already bought this device certainly recommend it for purchase.
