July 18, 2008
Blaupunkt is known mainly for their exceptional car audio systems. However, after their self-introduction into the world GPS market, they have managed to reach a covetous position recently, after going through a rough patch in the earlier stages. The Blaupunkt Travel Pilot Lucca 3.5 GPS Satellite Navigation System is all about remarkable navigational service, though a smart multimedia player built in the system gives it the form of an entertainer too.
Interface
The interface of this GPS system is a 4.3" TFT touch screen of 16:9 aspect ratio. The resolution of the display here is 480 x 272 pixels and it possesses anti-glare properties too. Visual route guidance is presented here in map mode or arrow mode. 2D and 3D map views are more than enabled in the gadget’s screen. The mapping factor of this GPS system is satisfactory with the availability of street level mapping for Ireland and UK . Further, you have the major road coverage of Europe as well as street level coverage for another twenty-one Western EU countries. Day and night modes are automatically switched on in the system. You can also use the off-map navigation as a digital compass. A large number of Points of Interest are availed in the system and you have the option of including more in the long run. Apart from all these, a smart display of the destination time, distance and arrival time is also facilitated in this GPS system.
Destination Input and Voice Route Guidance
You can program your destination by giving the address, house number, street name or number and district details into the system. Postal code entry is also a possibility here and you can also chart your destination through the map. However, you have a return home option from almost anywhere. Voice guidance is given in an array of European languages of which you have the discretion of choosing your own. This GPS system promptly announces the street as well as the highway number for your convenience. TMC warnings predicting traffic congestions can be availed even minus active route guidance. Another striking aspect here is the provision of acoustic as well as visual speed limit warnings.
Entertainment
The Blaupunkt Travel Pilot Lucca 3.5 GPS Navigator comes with a good music player that realises the playback of MP3, WMA and OGG files through an MMC or SD card. A picture viewer is also a smart inclusion in this system with the ability to display JPEG, BMP, and GIF pictur3e files.
