One of the basic yet good satellite navigators is the Acer V200. Although leading computer manufacturer Acer is not known for its GPS systems, this budget priced navigator manages to do well in fulfilling its main purpose. Of course, the sat nav does lack some rather common features we have come to expect, such as the MP3 playback or Bluetooth. That is one of the reasons for the sat nav’s quick loading time which is in fact less than a minute.

There is a display option of text or map mode. This can be customised with a few simple steps. Key operation is kept to the minimum. With just a few operations you can reach the function you want to operate, which means when you want to alternate between navigation and map, it can be done effortlessly.

Information such as road traveled, remaining time and distance to the destination, speed in which vehicle is travelling, etc is offered by the Acer V200 in two as well as three dimensional modes. With the help of the map, users can plan their preferred route including were they want to stop. It is possible to re-plan in case of any problem with a particular route.

Soft power switch and the volume control which are frequently used are placed on the device exterior and therefore easy to operate. Time taken to change if the route taken is wrong is very fast. This is called the fixing time.

An attractive feature of the Acer V200 includes the functionality that helps avoid certain routes, routing with multiple stops, routing and re-routing at quick speed, address search, maximizer technology for viewing maps, 24 hour map viewing in two and three dimension, easy to operate buttons and on-screen tutorial.
