Archos 605 GPS System

By Tiago on Tuesday, April 22nd, 2008 comments

Two months ago Archos upgraded their line of multimedia players by presenting the Archos 405, and they have made another update by adding a navigation system to the 605, which can now be considered a 2-in-1 gadget: media player + GPS system.

The SiRF III GPS receiver isn't incorporated in the player, you need to attach it in order to work, but that is just a small detail. Besides providing 1 year subscription to a free service related to accident notifications, you can opt for a paid (or free) traffic warning system.

The Archos 605 Wi-Fi will cost approximately £200 with the GPS receiver, or if you only want the receiver, it costs $130.

The 605 GPS uses its built-in media features to its advantage by broadcasting directions through its line-out jack and letting owners use the device normally.
