Never Get Lost Again

Some people prefer to have a GPS straight up as it is, without the frills and fanciful features. The Akai AGPS-1850 has all the basic and necessary functions of a GPS and delivers fuss-free. Routes can be calculated based on shortest path, with or without expressways and with or without ERP charges. The vehicle setting of the route can also be set according to the type of vehicle - such as passenger cars, taxis, small buses, big buses – so that the time can be calculated more accurately.

Providing MapKing professional maps, as used by the Singapore Land Authority, maps of Singapore and Malaysia are pre-installed and there is a function where you can swap between maps easily. An Office feature also enables you to save addresses of your workplaces for easy memory and reference. Voice-enabled navigation with 3D building landmarks makes for simple and clear-cut navigation.

I thought the Tour Guide feature is quite interesting – it is this function that has pre-planned destinations grouped under Art and Culture, Family, Sightseeing, Shopping, Nature, Dining and Travel. There are variations of locations for each category and the Travel one serves as a pre-planned itinerary guide of some sort with recommended one-day tours of Singapore, Penang, Kuala Lumpur and Melaka according to your interest (such as food or shopping).
