If Parrot were able to sell this with Google Maps installed and running, they would be flying off shelves.
This is the only part of your review that I don't believe. That's hardly what's keeping these on the shelf
But I love the idea of this thing, and I'm glad it's working for you.
Put a knob or volume rocker on the face. Having to press a speaker softkey, then use an on-screen slider sucks. I'm working on the steering wheel control interface, so that will help me with that issue. But, lots of people don't have an option to do that.
This is something I would have a hard time with too. I feel the same way about the Tesla S (though I'd love to have that problem
). We've seen in universal remotes that people don't like all-touchscreen devices. Hell, 99% of the smartphones on the market have hard volume buttons on them. To not have them in a car is WAY worse.
Rob, how well do you think this thing would integrate with existing car systems? I'm just thinking about all the parts of my car that are integrated with the center console touch screen. Audio is just the start, then there's the backup camera, the auxiliary-in jack, the built-in steering wheel controls, and of course the A/C. I guessing that I don't have the car for this thing...
Anyway, thanks for the review. It's great to hear your impressions of this very cool device! And goodness knows I'd love to have Google Maps as my GPS. I'm so tired of my outdated maps DVD, and I don't want to shell out $150 for a new one...
