well welcome back to the Steve Robb show today no we're not working on lotmore's guys I tell
you what I got a crazy experiment a buddy of mine from Northwest Territories was in a
little while ago and he told me about this idea I think it's wacky but I'm rolling with it and
I'll show you skies in the future what this idea is but guys it's wacky but today we're
not talking no more wacky we're talking GPS I got this GPS and it is the smartdrive 60 series
I'll put a link down below if you want to know a lot of information on this because I can't
go over everything but let's take a look at my old one first guys here's the the old one and
here's the new one quite a big difference and guys this GPS was not something I just wanted
to get it's something that I had to get I don't do any use of my cell phone inside my vehicle
because there's no connectivity between the the truck and my cell phone there's no Bluetooth
so this here provides the Bluetooth so I can do hands-free calling and it'll send my text
messages it's got voice recognition you can do everything over voice it has a lot of features
and it's a touchscreen it also does traffic so I got the lifetime traffic and Maps update
so it does the traffic let you know if there's traffic ahead that kind of stuff what else to do
it tells you if you can pick all kinds of different options of is this sharp term
coming up it'll tell you you know it'll inform you of this kind of stuff and there's a woman on
there there's two different women you can pick that'll tell you all the different prompts and
I think it's just fantastic now the whole idea behind this for me getting this and of course
you could see I did a modification of course like I did this a bit long time ago and this
sits on the - on my f150 and that's the only place that I find I could you know put it with
so as you can see here it's hard to tell I get a little closer there but yeah I'm going to mulch
this one on here and I think it'll be work out fantastic for me because when it comes down to
it there's a huge difference between this one here that's like maybe seven years old and this
one here guys this is terrific and I want to show you one thing that really sold me on it
and I never knew this even existed yous guys let me know in the comments if you knew this existed
either but yeah there's a girl on there guys you can talk to this thing and and say phone
home that kind of stuff and you know answer your phone you know like saying answer call that kind
of stuff it's just terrific but guys I want to show you this at the best the best way I could
do it because doing it on there wouldn't show very good but let's just take a look there and
you could see how I've got you know South and North and I've got a road going through there
and to north and south roads up and down and you see that right there okay so that's a touchscreen
and what happens on this is take for instance the GPS keeps on making you go up this road here and
no matter what you try shortest route or fastest time that's the only two options you have on a
GPS and it keeps on taking you to the one without the red circle so now what they've developed guys
this is just terrific for me because I like taking a lot of backroads I don't like to take some roads
because you know they're congested and you take your finger and you press on the screen where the
red dot is and guys it will detour that route now to take that road and for me that was incredible
that I can actually custom route my my directions and then save it and also it's got a whole bunch
of icons down ball where take friends if I'm going to my camp I just pressed camp I'm going
to assist ourselves I just press sister well of course I got her name down there right and
yeah so I mean you can it's all customizable and guys it does a whole bunch of more things than
that I'd really don't want to get into all of it but it does one strange thing and I mean strange
no like I said you guys take a look in the link down below if you want and you can check it all
out and decide what you want to do but guys I'm loving this thing right here okay so this is this
guys are gonna get a kick out of it this is what you got okay now can you see that in the screen
I hope you can but guys that's the menu so we've got American English Michelle no that's that girl
lair sounds one way and then you got American English Samantha then we got Spanish French or
Canadian Portuguese and a bunch of languages I don't know I'm saying they might be Chinese I'm
not too sure but there's no Canadian on here so I got this in the truck and I'm driving along and
you know how to usually get this when you go from one road to the other that you're not supposed to
be on it'll say recalculating recalculating this one doesn't this is America so this is the North
American version there is no Canadian version of this unless you speak French then you'll get the
Canadian version and this is the voice that will come through this speaker and relay all
kinds of data to you used to say recalculating that's gone now there's a voice that comes on
and says I'm sorry I'm ciphering hold on to your britches and I thought that was cute I like that
I'm ciphering hold on to your britches the next one is if you're going too fast or if there's
traffic ahead now you can turn these things off and on if you want but if there's traffic ahead
what's the other one I think it's also a sharp turn and that kind of stuff it'll say pull back
on your reins there partner and I thought well that's different okay now I speak Americans wine
stand all the stuff but it's something you should know about this anyways and the last one would be
when you first start out it always says please head to highlighted Road and that's the road
that you're gonna pick wherever you have a route that you're going to go and it says please head to
highlighted road now what does it say giddyup go so I like that right there so that's pretty well
it for today guys I just thought I'd show you the the new GPS I got and I think it's just terrific
this technology we have today I don't like the idea of texting and talking on the phone while
you're driving guys it is just not a right thing to do and I see so many people doing it and up
here they're saying that's pretty much the most I think it's the most documented way of people are
getting into collisions and they're still talking on their phones and everything and I like to be a
little more collect connected to you know to the phone while I'm in the vehicle because you never
know when you're going to get a call instead of me just turning it off so thanks for joining me
here today I always enjoy having a little bit of a review on a product that I like and I use
