"The versatile media and GPS tablet"
5.0 starson by DSDSDSDSDSDSDSDSPros: With some free video players from the Android Market, it can play anything you throw at it even through the HDMI connection.
GPS with the right third party software that stores maps locally will make this a GPS navigation device.Cons: Playing videos and using GPS may draw a lot of power.
Summary: If you run MX VideoPlayer, it will run every video file imaginable (DivX/XviD, mkv, subtitles, etc.) from your SD card or USB hard drive.
Another player called Daroon Player will even play DVD files from the storage drive with DVD menus.
A GPS app like copilotlive with locally stored maps will make this a GPS navigation device.
Who needs a built-in DVD car entertainment center when you can do it all with this device.
The rubber grip will make it easier for your kids to hold onto this thing on long car trips.

I'm interested in the GPS feature. Does it have satellite GPS that can be used with maps out of range of cellular towers? My husband explores the desert on jeep trails. He is weary of the tiny screens on hand-held gps devices. He would also like to be able to toggle between map scales.
Does this device have a touch screen that works well?
Thanks in advance for your feedback.
