Forget boring and boxy GPS devices. Maction Technologies' Papago! Dream HD H5600 is a slim and stylish device that looks more like a sleek miniature LCD TV than a GPS device. It is powered by a dual-core SiRf IV chip and comes preinstalled with the company's improved Reality 7 Navigation software which is faster and has more functions. The device features a comprehensive library of POIs (points of interests), realistic Junction View mode, and fascinating 3D buildings and monuments for major towns and cities.
It also has an FM transmitter, a port for hooking up a camera and a 3.5mm headphones jack. There is also a stylus neatly hidden on the back, which makes it easier and more precise to input data. If that's too tedious, just speak to the device to issue commands and the Voice Command Navigation feature will do the necessary. As the model name has the word "HD," you would expect the GPS to have a HD screen but that's not the case here. The 5in touchscreen only has a resolution of 800 x 480-pixels which is hardly high-definition. However, the display is sharper and brighter than the ones found on most GPS units. This is because it has a 300:1 contrast ratio and brightness of 300nits.
