Review on Aonerex GPS Navigation for Car: 9-inch High-Definition Touch Screen, 8GB Memory, Lifetime Map Upgrade, Voice Turn Instructions - 2022 by Angelo Forrest

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Good GPS but interface feels a bit clunky

GPS works well with positioning and map hints, but there are a few things I'm having a hard time getting used to: Street name insertion is extremely robotic. "Pleasant" voices do not have street names, making audio navigation less intuitive. The menu takes a little getting used to. It's probably my fault that I'm used to navigating on Google Maps, but it takes me a while to find my route the way I like it (sometimes there's the old route selection or favorite as part of a route with stops back). and I have to go through a few menu items to remove the old route and it's a bit annoying. Maybe I'm using it wrong or I'm too used to Google Maps on my phone) - While charging, after you put it to sleep or turn it off, it still turns on randomly (it can be anyone if you hold on for a certain amount of time) and I have to turn it off several times. It also has a good screen, attaches well to the windshield and offers good navigation. There are also plenty of nice options, like music, video and a few simple games if you need to entertain passengers or don't have a USB port for audio in your car. Update January 3rd: Battery doesn't last very long. I charged it fully, used it for a 20 minute ride, then turned it off and didn't use it again for up to a day and a half and it wouldn't turn on. I can't leave it on all the time because I need a socket for our phones. I will not use this GPS and will only buy a phone mount.
