Delphi Mobile Navigation is your new travel companion. With state-of-the art GPS technology and a user-friendly interface, Delphi helps to get you to your final destination quickly and efficiently. Mapping a trip has never been so easy, all you need is your final destination (address, point-of-interest, or intersection) - Delphi Mobile Navigation does the rest.

:
Need help tracking down an out-of-town business meeting or finding a museum during your out-of-state vacation? The Delphi NA10000 Mobile Navigation in-car GPS system is there to help. lt features a large, bright TFT screen with full-color graphics, directional voice prompts, fast routing calculations enabled by a built-in lntel Xscale microprocessor, built-in memory for map data, and windshield- and dash-mounting solutions.

This extremely user-friendly unit provides several functions, including quickest route, shortest route, full automatic turn-by-turn directions synchronized with vehicle position, total distance to destination, and estimated time of arrival. You can search for addresses by name, street crossing, Zip Code, or center-of-town and offers memorization of favorite locations, shortcuts, and most recent locations.

The intuitive graphical user interface is powered by custom navigation software, which provides detailed street-level mapping for the 48 contiguous states and Hawaii, address-to-address routing, automatic rerouting when off-course and an extensive points-of-interest library. Large display icons and easy-to-read maps provide an operator-friendly interface for added safety while driving. The software is fully automatic and provides voice directions in addition to visual driving instructions.

The unit uses a double-disc map set of the United States (excluding Alaska), so that you can easily load your desired maps. The Delphi Mobile Navigation unit has 64 MB of internal memory available for storing maps, and it's compatible with optional Secure Digital (SD) and MultiMedia (MMC) memory cards for additional map storage (256 MB size or less).

What ls GPS?
The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a network of satellites launched by the U.S. military in the 1970s. The satellites continuously transmit accurate time and position information, which is freely used by commercial and military applications worldwide. GPS receivers, such as this Delphi unit, are designed to pick up the high-frequency radio signals from these satellites and use the information to help determine your exact location. Today, there are many applications that use GPS--from marine to automotive, aviation, and military.

There are 24 satellites in total, orbiting approximately 12,000 miles above the Earth. While a GPS receiver can detect signals from up to 12 satellites at any one time, only 3 are needed to provide the two-dimensional position (latitude and longitude), or 'fix,' that is required for vehicle and marine navigation systems. Aviation applications also need altitude, and therefore need information from at least four satellites.

What's in the Box
Delphi Mobie Navigation unit (NA10000), mounting materials for windshield and dash, 12/24-volt vehicle power adapter, power adapter for indoor programming, USB cable, protective carrying case, screen cleaner, 2 CD-R0Ms with Delphi Mobile Navigation desktop software, SmartST in-car digital navigation software, and U.S. maps.

Buyer's feedback: - * Great for the money... where are the map updates ...
I bought mine in late 2005 and am now ready for map updates. I'd also like maps for europe so I could toss it in my suitcase... At dusk it's having a hard time finding the satellites. Sometimes it takes a couple hours. I don't understand why there is a registration process at all. We should be able to plug it in and go... All in all great... jg

Buyer's feedback: - Good stuff..
The shipping came in a messy package. The car adaptor was missing. There was no way of contacting the customer service. I tried it with a converter in my car. It was amazingly accurate in giving both on-screen & voice promp directions. I didn't feel like returning it & continued to use with the DC-AC converter. The maps are great. Installation was simple.
I probably wouldn't have paid the full price...It was worth buying for $ 300.00, though it was a refurbished one.

Buyer's feedback: - * Nice Hardware with somewhat outdated map ...
Overall I'm very pleased with the GPS unit. It works nicely as my auto navigator. The software interface is also very easy to operate with little need to refer to the manual. The map, however, seems outdated for at least 1-2 years. There are times I was misguided because of that. I'd like to see another update on the map. I'm not sure if it's possible but if the GPS unit can take a 3rd party software it would be perfect.

Buyer's feedback: - Stop!! Don't buy remanufactured and Problems too!!
Firstly remanufactured means missing parts. I didn't have the ac adapter. Then powered it in car. Problems the maps are outdated.The software is lousy it was already registed by somebody else and no key. The unit has problems after you turn it on and then start your car, it will poweroff, so again you have to go all the startup process.The Display is big enough but not all information can be selected on the same screen.The internal memory can hold only one state, even thought the manual say one entire region. As part were missing i called Delphi to check with them and he said rudely you got from amazon, we support only I purchased from them only.
Over all this was a waste of my time and now i returning it back.

Update:-
Amazon refunded promptly!! Thanks AMAZON.COM

Buyer's feedback: - * Beautifully made, lousy nav software ...
Delphi has made a beautiful magnesium GPS unit--it is really well made and the perfect shape for in the car use. The PC software is very good, easy to understand, and FAR better than the Magellan I currently use. However, and this is a BIG however, the actual in car nav software--the part that maps you to where you are going--is surprisingly lousy. And I am currently in Los Angeles, a pretty easy place to map.

Compared to the Magellan 300, which has much poorer PC software and nowhere near as fine a build quality, the Delphi regularly made wrong turns, got lost in loops (redirecting you to turn left, then left, then left again) and occasionally just stops reporting directions. Also, the cigarette lighter adapter is made such that it will pull out of the GPS receiver if bumped--subideal to say the least.

So overall, while better made, I have to say the the Delphi is nowhere near as effective a GPS unit at the Magellan 300--and it is about the same price. It's really a shame that one can't port the Magellan maps to the Delphi machine--that would be a match made in heaven.
