Well this probably is the CADILLAC of GPS's
All is very high quality
The big screen is easy to read and touch screen is responding very well
I did not found any flaw yet.
Here it is:



It came with IGO 8.0 working very well but i couldn't add any skins so...
I added IGO 8.3 on the SD card and it is pretty easy to switch from one to the other by changing the navigation(GPS) path in the settings.
It is also possible to launch any wince 5.0 application this way.




Here is IGO 8.3



After trying IGO 8.3, i added some skins like DIMKA skin
This is pretty cool with the sky and the sun positionned right at the place it should be. also added cars instead of the arrow.






I also managed to install MioPocket 3.0 on it.
I used the SD Install because i didn't dare to try the Flash install
cause i was afraid to block the system.
IF ANYONE DID IT PLEASE REPORT
A complete flash install would be nicer because with the SD install it seems that whenever i restart it, the install is a new one and the preferences are gone.Like Internet Explorer Favorites for example.




The gps software are not included in miopocket but any navigation application you have can be dealed with in this window.


MioPocket is great on this device even if some application are not working for some still obscure reason but i work on it.
I suspect that is because of the 800 X 480 screen resolution.
A great deal of the applications are working very well and i even went on the internet with it while i was plugged with SYNC on my main computer.
It should be much faster with a blutooth pairing but i didn't try it yet.

Here it is browsing on the NET




Anyway
The unit is great
The Samsung S3C2443X is probably one of the most reliable cpu for this kind of device.
The FM transmitter sound is great
The GPS is flawless and very accurate and very fast, it even works in the house at some spots.
I didn't try the blutooth yet

The only disadvantage i find with it is that you must have a hell of a big pocket to put it in....

I LOVE MY NO NAME CHINESE GPS

If you have the same unit and want to develop on it, feel free to post here.
