Digital Video Systems Plenio VXA-3000

Pros: Price, size, features, ease of use and solid construction. 

Cons: Under certain conditions will 'seemingly' alert you to a turn prematurely.

The Bottom Line:

The large screen is a great advantage for the folks that prefer to 'see' where they are going rather than being told.  

Review: The Plenio system is large (7" screen) and well built.  The controls and features, as extensive as they are- are easy/simple to use.The unit can play MP3 music, display pictures as well as videos, and has a very addictive game also built ...

Pros: Big screen, SD card, big mount, price.

Cons: Unfinished software, slow start, reliability, screen brightness, low internal memory.

The Bottom Line: Came to a market before was prepared, but was already outdated in software and hardware

Review: GPS became very popular, and Korean DVS (a maker of CD tray readers) jumped in this stream too. VXA-3000 could be a good product, unless it would require software and a slightly better quality of electronics. The first one I tried has died after two ...

Pros: Screen, Mount

Cons: Delay, bad directions, no carrying case, outdated POI.

Review: I just got it from costco for $399. I'm definitely going to return this product. The screen is great, the mount is solid. It doesn't come with a carrying case, which is a pain. Also, the maps are outdated with regard to POI. I'll be staring at a gas ...

Pros: Big screen, good mounting bracket. I like the SD card option

Cons: Out of date map, navigation accuracy is not good

Review: I agree with mdazzle. I bought the same unit from Costco. I have the same experience as he mentioned in his review. It does not recognize several places that are 4 to 5 years old developments. For example, a lot of addresses in 2 to 3 year old ...

Pros: Large screen

Cons: Slow start up, poor mapping, serious program flaws. Have time to kill, it's for you.

The Bottom Line: Even if this system was free, you still paid too much for it because it performs so poorly at what it is supposed to do.

Review: I have used many different types of GPS navigation systems and usually by changing settings and getting the latest mapping I have been able to make it work the way I wanted it to. This unit is one of the slowest to boot up and get GPS. Then it is guiding ...

Pros: large screen

Cons: wrong directions.

Review: I bought this in Cosco too. The screen size is good, but it often gives wrong directions. When I drove on highway with multi-exits on the right, it told me: "keep right and leave the highway" I did not know which highway (name or number of the highway, ...
