If you don't happen to own a luxury car with a built-in navigation system, and you want to drive from point A to point B without having to look up addresses on the internet and print your results--or even worse, pull over and ask directions--the Intellinav One could be what you're looking for. Its compact size, easy setup, intuitive operation, and reliability make it an ideal travel companion for any drive you can't make on auto pilot.
The Intellinav's compact size, high-tech look, and easy portability make it an ideal travel companion. View larger - View product details. |

Design
The Intellinav has a solid feel and a high-tech look. It's silver and black casing with rounded corners weighs in at 7.4 ounces (210 grams) and measures 4.7 x 3.5 x 1.3 inches. The unit is also easily portable wherever you might want to take it. A 3.6-inch LCD touchscreen that displays 16.7 million colors dominates the front of the device, and serves as the main user interface. You can easily adjust the screen's backlight from the settings menu, or switch between day, night, or auto (which switches to night mode soon after sunset). To the right of the touchscreen is an LED power and charging indicator light, while just below the are buttons for the Main Menu and volume control. On the right side you'll find the SD card slot, on the top the power button, while the left side is reserved for connection ports: power supply, USB, antenna, and headphones.
Setup
Getting the Intellinav One up and running is pleasantly simple. After inserting the supplied 1 GB SD card, the device guides you through the few steps required for basic setup: acknowledging the warnings and tapping a few dots in order to calibrate the screen. You can then mount it in your car with the sturdy windshield mounting system or adhesive dashboard mount. The supplied 12 volt charger keeps the unit powered while you are on the go. Satellite connections are made with the newer SiRF Star III technology, which is very snappy. We did find that the first connection took a few minutes. But after the initial setup we had to wait only a few seconds for the device to locate our position and begin plotting a course.
Interface
Apart from the Menu and Volume controls on the front of the device, all interaction with the Intellinav is via the touchscreen. There is no stylus to lose (or to dig for under the seat of your car), as everything is set up for finger tip access. We found that even fairly large male fingers had no problems with input. An audible click (which can be deactivated) indicates each successful tap to the screen. All adjustments rely on convenient plus (+) and minus (-) signs, meaning you don't have to try to drag a bar with your finger tip in order to adjust screen brightness, for example. The Main Menu has four icons: "MP3," "Navigation," "Photo," and "System." Submenus are intuitive and easy to negotiate. We found it a breeze to adjust all settings just by following the menu icons, allowing us to leave the user guide at home.
Navigation
The heart of the Intellinav One is its navigation system, which is surprisingly rich in features for a moderately priced GPS device. A car cursor indicates your position on the map at all times, while the cursor's color tells you how many satellites your are currently reaching. More detailed satellite info is available with a few touches of the screen.
Data entry relies on an alpha-numeric keypad that appears on the touchscreen (some might find a QWERTY keyboard more intuitive, but like other GPS devices we have reviewed, letters appear in alphabetical order). As you type a list at the top of the screen begins to scroll through a list of known cities or streets. Once the location you want appears you simply have to tap it, then tap OK, and you are on your way. During data input the entire keyboard remains on the screen. We would prefer the method some similar devices use, which display only those letters corresponding to available choices, making it easier to select the next letter.
The Destination screen allows you to select a specific address, choose from a list of favorites you have selected, pick one of your recent destinations, head for a city center, choose a point of interest (POI) from a number of categories, or find an intersection. We found this last option particularly useful, as there often occasion in which the specific address is unknown, or the general vicinity is all that is required.
As for Points of Interest, we were pleased with the list of restaurants, parks, businesses, etc. Want to find the nearest McDonald's or Starbuck's? Just grab it from the drop down list and you are on your way. We found not only major chains, but local establishments as well. Once on your way, you'll find a variety of ways to view the map. You can see either a traditional or a 3D map, and orient the map so the top is either always north or your direction of travel.
Extras
The Intellinav One also comes with a photo viewer and an MP3 player. You can easily use any SD card to load pictures and music, replacing the map card on the right side of the device. The MP3 player is straightforward and intuitive with basic features such as "shuffle," and "repeat" modes. The photo viewer supports both JPEG and BMP formats. The 3.6 inch screen is ideal for showing those family photos to grandma once you have made your way over the river and through the woods.
Pros
- Easy to use, affordable GPS navigation that really works
- Rich in useful features
- Includes MP3 player and photo viewer
Cons
- Keyboard: No QWERTY input, displays all letters rather than just those you need.

Customer Reviews:
Well featured product with excellent support........2007-11-26
I purchased this unit eight months ago and have used it extensively on short drives and longer (over 600 mile) trips. I've used several GPS units previously, though this is the first I have had that was purpose-built for use in an automobile. During the time that I've used the unit Netropa has issued two software updates that seem to have resolved all of the software operating issues I had previously encountered. The strongest features of this unit are the text-to-speech, multiple map views, straight forward interface, fast route recalculation, and loud, clear speaker volume. Minor annoyances are a touch screen that occasionally doesn't respond to input, maybe 5% of the time I need to press the screen again. The Detour function doesn't allow for much fine tuning - there are three default distances that you can choose from for avoiding a stretch of road. The Quickest routing logic sometimes takes a route that probably isn't actually the quickest. I should point out that this normally occurs when two alternatives are fairly close in time to travel, and either way it gets you where you want to go.
What I found most appealing about the Intellinav All-in-One was the list of useful navigation features and absence of extra features that would never be used, all for a reasonable price. The technical support has been excellent. It is an easy to use device with essential features. Lastly, don't consider an automotive GPS without Text-to-Speech, that feature goes a long way toward clearing up where to turn in dense neighborhoods where streets are impossible to judge based on direction to "turn right in 500 feet".
I'm Finally Not Lost!.......2007-11-10
I am directionally challenged! I love the voice telling me where to turn and go. It doesn't always give the perfect directions, but it sure helps when you are in unfamiliar territory. It works very easily for my husband. I have a bit more trouble with it. The voice is very easily understood and gives street names and let's you know when the turn is coming up. We looked at other, more well known brands, but this seemed to have the features we thought would help me the most, and it gives the same info as Mapquest on the internet.
Seattle to PA with Missy.......2007-09-13
We bought the Intellivav (our first GPS) for our Seattle to PA (see a lot of national parks-6500 mile, five week cross-country with the kids) move this past summer. I was impressed that the unit took the baking it did-up on the dash in the sun in the desert-it became too hot to touch but kept working. We did need to reboot it every couple of weeks or so when the the screen froze up or the trip calculations stopped calculating, but it always came back up OK with destination and itinerary info. intact. Annoying part:touch screen beeps every time you touch it-should beep only on executed actions, however directions were very good. Even though it did send us to the wrong side of the river in Portland OR & got a bit confused on the park roads on the South Rim of Grand Canyon it always eventually recalculated and got us where we needed to go. Itinerary function needs some work. Bottom line: won't leave home without it.
Original unit failed and replacement unit failed.......2007-08-18
Purchased the Intellinav ONE back in February. Shortly after using the unit for business travel it continuously locked up and froze. Had to send the unit back to Intellinav for a new unit. The replacement unit failed on my first trip. Now Intellinav nor the company I purchased the unit thru will provide a refund. I spent a lot of time researching and thought I made a good purchase compared to other units on the market. Now I will look to buy a proven and reliable brand.
DOES NOT GIVE PROPER DIRECTIONS.......2007-08-14
Do not buy this unit. While it has many bells and whistles, it does not do what it was designed to do - give correct directions. The routes it gives are not the shortest - no matter what you do. It directs you on local roads instead of highways! I have contacted the manufacturer about this problem and they have actually admitted there is one, but they have not been able to fix it. It has been over a month. Buy a Garmin or Tom Tom. They will cost you more money, but they will actually get you to your destination in a timely manner.
