Thread: 7" Devices

Hey All,

Just after some suggestions/thoughts for a reasonable quality 7" CE 5 or 6 device.
Had enough of the Chinese garbage I've tried not working like advertised & sick of wasting money on them when they won't do what I want.

I know of the Hema 7" navigator & the Mud Map M7's, which both seem ok
I was wondering if anyone here knows of any other brands or manufacturers of quality 7" devices that might be worth having a look at?

I currently am using a Navig[8]r P50 Pro that works perfectly but it's only a 5" screen & I prefer the larger 7" screen.
I've spoken to the Navig[8]r people and unfortunately they no longer make the 7" devices, they said there wasn't enough demand for them anymore as a lot of car manufacturers were bringing out cars with in-dash 7" devices nowdays apparently...

I'm not interested in an Android device only one that runs Windows CE, as iGO8 is the main software I use & it's CE only AFAIK.

I need something that is sensitive enough to movement to be used walking around as well as in a vehicle, most Chinese ones work ok in a vehicle but something in the ROMs they use was changed a while ago that prevents them from rotating the map etc. upon direction change until a speed of around 7 kph is reached, then they work as expected.
I see they still advertise these devices as having a speed sensitivity of 0.1 m/s which is about 3.5 kph, unfortunately though that appears to me to be wrong as I find their actual sensitivity is around 1.95 m/s or 7 kph.
Waste of time trying to explain this as most of them all of a sudden seem to have trouble understanding English when questions like that are posed...

The old original long dead CE 6 Chinese GPS I used to have a couple of years ago wasn't like these new ones and was sensitive to movement as soon as it started moving, great for both walking around and driving.
Since then I've tried about 10 different devices and none of them will rotate the map etc. until a speed of around 7 kph is reached so it's time to look for something a little better quality than the flea-bay Chinese device.
