5.0 out of 5 stars
A Great Add on for your PSP - It really is a SatNav!,
= Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars
This review is from: Sony Go! Explore (PSP) (Accessory)
I bought this one in a major UK high street store two weeks ago and have been very impressed with the results. After a bit of getting used to it works as well as any other Sat Nav I have used. The device to attach it to your windscreen is sturdy and fully adjustable; it picks the signal up very quickly and has a variety of routes to choose from (economical, fastest etc). Navigation of the software using the PSP controls is easy, typing addresses using the on screen keyboard is a joy; the predictive software is logical and fast. Personally I have never liked the touch screen sat navs so the use of the D-Pad and other PSP buttons is a functional plus point for me. Once your route is selected there are a host of bonuses - seek out nearest petrol stations, shops, bars, places of interest - its like a mini tourist focused yellow pages coming along for the trip!
Drawbacks? Well yes - the built in speaker is pretty quite in my car so I have to use the headphone socket to feed the sound to my Cars stereo system - not ideal but it works very well. I have not tested it on foot - the 3D maps look great but I don't fancy wandering the streets with mp PSP and Sat Nav gizmo on full display! Conclusion - for the £100 or so outlay you are getting the functionality of a £200 plus Sat Nav with some small drawbacks (Sound, Size when on Foot). These drawbacks aside I am delighted with the purchase.

= Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars
This review is from: Sony Go! Explore (PSP) (Accessory)
I bought this add on for the PSP so that I could watch films during my frequent trips to Spain and have a ready-to-go Sat Nav when I got there.
The Sat Nav function performs perfectly fine despite a slight delay initially whilst the Go Explore software works out your curent location and which satellites to use. Some reviews have criticised the amount of time this process takes however, I have found very few other Sat Nav devices which operate any faster. Locating destinations is very straightforward and the route planner works everything out for you seemlessly. Map detail is pretty much spot on - very easy to follow. One way streets and speed limits are clearly indicated, and all driving actions are called out well in advance of any manoeuvres. The only gripe I have with this product is the price. A top of the line, dedicated Sat Nav may cost you around £150. I imagine the bulk of that price might go to the actual hardware. In the case of Go Explore you already have the hardware, so why the price tag of £100??? In conclusion, this is a perfectly fine Sat Nav with some interesting features. Whether you think your money is better spent on a dedicated machine - I'll leave that up to you. Personally, having one device that plays music, and films on the flight, and gets me to my hotel in my hire car when I get there makes this the right device for me.

No Prospect of Map Upgrades?,
= Fun:1.0 out of 5 stars
This review is from: Sony Go! Explore (PSP) (Accessory)
If I were you, I'd make absolutely certain before buying Go!Explore that Sony is going to offer map updates. There have been no updates to the UK map since I bought it a couple of years ago, and a quick search on a PlayStation community forum found Sony employees suggesting that none is planned.
