Pharos PDR 140 GPS price drop from 350$ to 150$
Pharos PDR 140 GPS
Pharos PDR-140 All in One Portable GPS with 4 Inch color display and preloaded maps of the US.In building the Drive GPS 140, Pharos has answered every need asked by mobile professionals.GPS combines accurate, street-level GPS navigation with hands free, Bluetooth calling capability and MP3, photo viewing and video playing.Navigation solutions are powered by Pharos' award winning "OSTIA" software, which offers an easy to use interface for rapid input of addresses and output of driving directions.The bottom line: Though the Pharos Drive GPS 140 has an accurate receiver and good Bluetooth integration, it will require patience on your part as it suffers from somewhat sluggish performance and an unintuitive interface.
